I like them in the garden as well but I never hesitate to cut some for fresh flowers inside. Also I have lots of flowers that are not suitable as a cut flower so those never get cut unless it's to deadhead for a second flush.
I so wanted to NOT harvest for market today! Soaking wet, raining more and I got a tick on my neck. But DH wanted to sell the cucumbers so he gently pressed me onward. The tomatoes are a bust but there were beans, cukes, zucchini, yellow squash, beets, carrots, herbs and of course honey and flowers.
It's sort of depressing to see the tomatoes being eaten or cracking and rotting from all the rain. I will salvage as much as I can and make some sauce.
Oh, and the garlic is having a hard time curing...it's inder the porch but I think we're going to have to bring it inside if we can. Priority for Sunday!
