Well this should relatively short but we wanted to get something out there. With the new baby we don’t have much time.
The garden is doing well. The onions are starting to fall over so they should be ready for harvest in the next few weeks. The garlic has fallen and will be ready soon. The peas have died off from the heat.
The potatoes flowered about three weeks ago. Today we did our first test. We dug up one of the six plants to see how things were going. You can see from the picture below we got six nice sized potatoes and a couple of smaller ones. There were probably 10 more potatoes that were tiny. We are going to leave the other plants for another month and see how the littler ones do. With any luck we will double our yield. As a note there was one decent sized potatoe for each stalk.
Corn is doing okay but so far we only have one cob. The beans on the other hand are doing great. They are starting to grow up the stalks and are actually out growing the corn.
That is it for now.
Looks wonderful! Our corn is doing really well — lots of ears! Both popcorn and the sweet corn. But something (a bird I suspect) ate all the silk off the sweet corn last night. My three sister thing FAILED I had no squash or beans sprout in my corn beds. Weird. I’ll have plenty of crooknecks and lots of different beans from other beds, but weird. Check out my blog, if you have time! I put up lots of pics tonight!
