missive from farmer john

new crops





Garden is thriving. Here's the first batch of Zucchini, The last radish from the cuke bed (The cucumbers ate the radishes!) and thepole beans. Beans started producing like mad. Turnips harvested on Mon. They are huge! First harvest of the bushbeans was sunday. Pole beans are ready to start harvesting in a day or 2. We've only got a few tomatoes starting to fruit, but the plants are doing well. We should be tomato-rich by the party. Cukes are probably a week away from the first pickling. So far about 10 have been harvested. Yummy. Lar is going to plant more lettuces this week. We finished laying down the mulch yesterrday. That's about it. See ya soon.
