We put these two hoop houses over the tomatoes because we have not had a consistent summer of temperatures for tomatoes. Last two days in the low 70's during the day, 50's at night. I guess that is why most commercial growers here do Green houses, hot house etc.

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
