update on the farm situation...

sooooo, i harvested what few potatoes there were (all very small), the lettuce plants are still alive, but not much bigger than like an inch or two so have yet to harvest anything off of them...i got about 1/2 a baggie of peas off of our multiple rows of peas, they've yet to produce any more, the 1 bean plant that had survived the weed infestation is now dead, and last but not least...a raccoon helped himself/herself to what little corn we did have and all that was left was a little mutant piece of cob w/ like 8 kernels on it...HOWEVER, we do actually have a decent crop of carrots so far...i yanked 3 yesterday and they're about baby carrot size at the moment, maybe a bit bigger...i've been told they won't do too much more so i'll probably harvest them the rest of the way next week and see what all we wind up with
all in all...a COMPLETE learning year...if nothing besides the 1/2 baggie of peas, and miniscule pototoes, and our small carrot crop we learned a lot of what NOT to do!

Lol! That sounds just like us! No matter how hard dh and I try, our harvest is as "abundant" as yours turned out to be! Enjoy those peas! I did- the whole half-baggie full. :)
