Just wanted to update with some new pictures
Veggie Haul 7/15/09:
Bib lettuce, purple top turnips, beet stragglers, onions the size of grapefruits (we had about twenty pounds of them earlier this summer), a mountain of garlic, yellow crookneck squash, delicata squash, Dirt, and finally some tomatoes, so far we've got a few plum and yellow pear, with some bigger ones almost ready to be picked, plus about a million half-eaten mystery pumpkins.
Here's a photo of the potato harvest from a few weeks ago. Brown potatoes, red potatoes, yellow potatoes, even purple potatoes!
We covered the rows that were potatoes, onions and garlic with black plastic, hoping to get some fall crops planted soon. Some kale, chard, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.
In non-garden related news, Jordan and Sean are almost done fortifying the chicken fence. The baby chickens have fully adjusted to the big coop, and are doing well, and we've had no more mystery attacks since. Most summer people have moved out, leaving us with more eggs than we know what to do with. We'll be selling them at the Richmond Farmer's Market on Tuesday, along with some of our many squashes.
Hope your summer is going well, and I'll see many of you soon!
Love,
Sarah
