It has certainly
been a weird year for harvesting my garden.
Though with the grasshoppers and heat, I’m glad (and amazed) I got
anything.
The potatoes and
raspberries were the best crops. I ended
up with 5 onions in total, a handful of ping-pong ball sized beets, and a
generous handful of carrots the size of my fingers. I also got 10 cups of cherries and a couple
dozen apples that I just made into juice as they weren’t that good.
The melons didn’t
do too bad. I only had enough
strawberries, peas, beans, cucumbers and patty pan squash to pick and eat
occasionally as I watered the plants.
At the time of this
writing, it looks like I’ll get a fair number of grapes this year. They aren’t ripe yet so I’m crossing my
fingers. And, I already have loads of
ideas for next year’s garden.
May you have a lovely thanksgiving - we truly are blest.
Beth
