First Harvest

So end of July we harvested potatoes from the buckets and got under 1 lb from the first ...not bad for one seed...good experiment. Will I do this again? Not sure.


This was one pot so we decided to wait a couple of weeks before harvesting the second one


....and got way more...over one lb here!




....and then I dried some herbs...basil, thyme, parsley, rosemary



A few days later we harvested the top half of one potato tower...wow! Aprox 10 lbs





We have been enjoying steamed baby vegs lots...carrots,parsnips, swisschard, kale, lettuce and peas...yummy

Tonight  we harvested some beans that are just starting. The onions are awesome and the daikon radish too. I'm attempting to make a potato salad for camping this weekend. I really need to label things that I plant. I want to know what onion this is. I planted walla walla and some Russian onion which is supposed to get really big. Can’t remember...





Garlic was harvested a week ago and is now drying. Amazing 😉 
Will post pic later...

Bought me some blueberries and froze most of them but decided to try my hand at dehydrating....wow are they ever good! So I did some raspberries too...great in cereal...



Tomatoes are just starting to form, I see some little cukes, zucchini only get a couple of inches and then start turning yellow. Need to research why. Picked a Hungarian hot pepper...a bit small and not hot. Raspberries are still going, strawberries are done. Brent did  a great job picking while I was away. Managed to freeze a couple of big bags.
