Harvest Time (by Eric)

Well its time to see what the garden has done..
And the results of this attempt to figure out how to garden well...

There was over a pound of carrots.


The peppers have also produced about a pound so far.
Becca thinks the taste is off a bit.  We are wondering if despite of the size if they hadn't completely matured yet.


Then we checked the potatoes...
I have never grown potatoes before it was kind of cool to dig one up and see how it works.


Given the smaller size I figure it was too soon, so I left the other two alone..
Live and learn I guess.

The cherry and grape tomatoes are riping a few at a time.
Becca and the kids all say they are yummy.
They eat them all before I get a chance.


The bigger tomatoes are cracking before they mature. So they get tossed
I am adjusting the water to see if I can save the up and coming fruit.  We will see how that goes.
