On Sunday I harvested the garden. Considering I haven't even entered the garden since late June and we had a drought in July and August, I'm lucky to have anything at all to harvest. I dug up up two rows of russet potatoes and two rows of yukon gold potatoes. The russets were larger in size. I had a bumper crop of marble sized potatoes this year. I dug up four rows of carrots and have enough for one good batch of carrot soup. I harvested one green cabbage and one tiny pumpkin. Several tiny cobs of corn were found and each a half dozen kernels on them. The chickens enjoyed those. I think my harvest was rather rich considering how little attention the garden got this year. Fortunately for me I chose to put my tomato plants in pots by the garage door. Those I did keep watered so I had a good harvest of tomatoes and basil and parsley this year.
