Garden Update for August 11, 2019

The rain I was hoping for in this one came that night, a full inch, so that will help the dry conditions shown here. We're moving into mostly harvesting season, as the last of the fall planting is done and the weeds are pretty well under control. The first potato patch produced a little over 20 pounds, which isn't very good considering I planted 8 pounds of seed, but at least it gained some. I learned some things about that under-straw method to apply next year. Currently harvesting potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, Swiss chard, peppers, and very soon sweet corn.
