What fun it has been to see results from this year's garden. Over the past year, we have made many attempts at soil quality enhancement such as cover crops, compost and manure from a friend's sheep farm. We feel like our efforts were successful since this year's number one crop is weeds. We are optimistic that we will have a better harvest than last year. What? Yes, we are actually encouraged to see weeds because last year we couldn't even get weeds to grow. Sure we enjoyed the weed free garden, but the poor soil resulted in little or no harvest from some crops. This year, we are barely able to find our garden for all the weeds. However, we are truly enjoying the tasty rewards!
Here's a look at some of our most recent picks...Tater tots, tomatillos, garlic, lettuce, herbs, miscellaneous heirloom and open pollenated tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, sugar snap peas, black plum tomatoes.
