July 23, 2012 - Harvest Monday

7/16 Potatoes and cucumbers

7/16 Strawberries

7/16  Fortex pole beans and yellow crookneck squash

 7/17 Zucchini, crookneck squash, tomatoes, strawberries and potatoes

 The 2012 potato harvest was one of my best.  Many potatoes were in the 12-14 ounce size range

 7/18 Crookneck squash, zucchini, tomatoes, pole beans, broccoli, carrots, strawberries and cucumbers

 7/19 The final potato harvest

 7/19 Zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes and the first green pepper

 7/20 Some tiny celery stalks, cucumbers, green pepper, crookneck squash, tomatoes and strawberries

 7/21 Pole beans, tomatoes and carrots.  I keep checking the carrots to see if they've been ruined by nematodes, but so far they are lovely and straight.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll have a decent carrot harvest yet.  

 7/22  Zucchini, crookneck squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli and strawberries.  The strawberries are really bearing well now, but the berries are getting smaller.  The plants are blossoming, so it won't be long before the next flush of berries begins.

7/22  Much of the container lettuce looked as though it had been attacked by leaf miners.  I've never had leaf miners in lettuce before, and there were no eggs, so it must have been something else that ruined about half the leaves.  We still had plenty for our BLTs for dinner.
