Harvest, 2011

So, what happened?  No pictures.  No story.

Well, there WAS a harvest.  Let's see.  I dug some very nice sweet potatoes; the best I've ever grown.  My friend Cindy was kind enough to cure them, and we're eating them still.  They are also providing sprouts for this years planting -- hooray.

There was good crop of peppers.  I sliced and froze many red and green.  The hot ones got picked before the frost, but only one batch got pickled and the rest spoiled.  Oh, well.

The tomatoes never came on.  Of the big table varieties, I had maybe six tomatoes all season.  That was a record for bad, and I've no idea why.  But I am going to stop with planting the peas and tomatoes together.  There's too much competition going on with a narrow bed.

The melons mostly, I'm sad to say, went to the chickens.  Owen picked some early good ones, but then the chickens were out on a regular basis.

The raspberries were grand.  The grapes made leaves  (too young for grapes).  The potato crop was good -- some quite big, many small.

And so it goes.
