I have harvested the potatoes this weekend. I did not get a lot of potatoes per hill but the ones I did get are of a pretty large size for yukon gold potatoes. I do like those yukon golds. I am going to be grating some with peppers and onions and put it in the freezer. That way I can take them out this week for breakfast-quick and easy breakfast for a mid-week morning. I also harvested what few walla-walla onions I had grown. There are so few, I will not have to worry about using them up in 2 weeks let alone 2 months. {{sigh}} but at least I got a few. I thought I would be able to harvest a few ears of corn but it looks like it will be next weekend before I can do that. Still, very early corn. Green beans are coming along fairly well. We will be eating lots of beans this week. Zucchini is growing and producing nicely. This year I only planted 2 plants of zucchini so we are able to keep up with eating them fairly well. I am getting some cucumbers every few days but not enough to do pickles or relish. The peppers and tomatoes are just coming on Also harvested the last of the spring snow peas and the lettuce. The earliest apples are ready for eating too.
The really good news is I haven't shopped the produce section of the grocery store in weeks and doubt I will need to do so for months.
The kitties like the fact that I have dug the potatoes and harvested the last of the snow peas. I took out the dead/dying snow pea plants too. So now the little ones have fresh, cool dirt to lie around in.
