This week has been very exciting! I have harvested corn, a pepper, cucumbers, potatoes and onions.
That bottom one is pretty pathetic. Only like 20 of the kernels got pollinated. Since then I have harvested several more ears that have looked much nicer. They got eaten so fast I didn't even get pictures.
Cucumbers! This is the first of two so far. It was yummy.
I made a chicken wire lined bed for root crops. Yesterday I dug up everything in there. That strange looking thing on the bottom left is a carrot. It got smooshed up against the chicken wire and looks like a mutant. A couple of the potatoes were giants- even bigger than the originals. We ate them last night for dinner :) I love the color of the onions- haven't tasted those yet though.
I am impatiently waiting for my tomatoes to ripen. There are like 5 billion green tomatoes but none of them are ripening! boo.
Fantastic! My cucumber plant gave me one cucumber and then wilted away. I fear that I over watered. I am now trying something called lemon cucumber. Ever try it?
