Mid-summer progress report

Our garden is providing us with food.



The beans are climbing.


The potatoes look incredible - I'm guessing we should be able to harvest small ones soon?


The broccoli heads are small, but yummy.


We've done succession plantings of most things: carrots, broccoli raab, pac choi, spinach, turnips, beets, radishes, parsnips, endive. Some from starts, some from seeds. We discovered that our long rows (the 30 ft length of the plot) were hard to manage, so we planted some of the new ones across the plot, from the edge to the path. We planted some of the more tender greens at home on our porch in pots, where we can hopefully keep a closer eye on them and have a better chance of keeping the slugs at bay. The snow peas and snap peas are still producing and have been excellent and pest-free. Leeks and parsnips have yet to be harvested, but turnips, beets and carrots have been sampled.
