Onion harvest

Pulled up Red onions and a variety called torpedo red onions. Roasted with for dinner. When I pull the next onions I need to let them dry out for a day or two.

First Potatoes

It just amazes me how putting one potato in the ground can yield 8 lbs. or more of product. This is the first plant variety that I pulled up today. They are purple potatoes. We roasted them on the BBQ just in olive oil, salt and pepper. Yummmmmm!

It's almost Carrot Time!!!

We pulled this Purple haze carrot out today to see what size the carrots are. They need a little more time in the ground. We had that in our salad for dinner

Now it's Summer Time

We have had our first summer temperatures. We went from 67 degrees to 97, 95, and today it is 83. The garden is loving it. Now we need the summer here to stay for a long time. Here in the NW we have had a slow start with produce. Great plants, now we need the fruit to ripen

Strong winds

We have had some nasty weather. We haven't had a summer yet. The highest temp has been 77. I put the left over metal from the fence around the tomato plants to protect them from the winds. It also adds some heat.

POTATOES

Can't wait until the end of July for some potatoes

First English Radishes from the garden. We went to the farmers market on Sunday. As we walked around we noticed that we really didn't need to buy anything. We have variety of greens, radishes, carrots, potatoes etc. It was a really nice feeling!
