After a week without any pictures, it feels good to have something this week. I’m a bit embarrassed about the state of the weeds in the garden proper, but at least we’re making headway in the other areas. We’re so busy picking zucchini and yellow squash and throwing them over the fence at our neighbors that it’s hard to find time to pull weeds.<\/p>\n

Some of the corn stalks have refused to die and have even started growing ears. I still have my doubts about how many we’ll wind up with in the end, but at least we still have some hope.<\/p>\n

The carrots are starting to get big enough to eat, as are the beets, and the green onions are better than you’ll find in a store. As we fill out more and more areas of our harvest spreadsheet, we’ve started counting some things in ounces (such as carrots and onions), but we’ll keep counting others in units (such as zucchini and yellow squash).<\/p>\n

Picked this week (*not* cumulative):
\n15 yellow squash
\n11 zucchini
\n4 cucumbers
\n4 oz. carrots
\n1 turnip
\n2 oz. green onions
\n2 red chili peppers
\n1 beet<\/p>\n

I can see this list will soon be (if it’s not already) too large to enter each week, so I’ll probably upload the spreadsheet and just link to it.<\/p>\n
