The garden is starting to reward all of our efforts. So far to date we've gotten almost 7 lbs. of peas (shelled weight). The green beans are just getting started and we've gotten a total of 3 lb. 4 oz. of them. We've dug some red and white potatoes, given away about 10 lbs., and kept 3.5 lb. of reds and 4 lb. 12 oz. of the whites. I've cut 3.5 lbs. of broccoli so far, and planted a new batch for a later crop. Our Texas sweet onions look wonderful, and I gave 4 of those away yesterday. The 188 heads of garlic are drying nicely and I hope to be able to start cleaning and trimming those up in 1-2 weeks. The savoy cabbage has headed up nicely and we'll be able to start eating that soon. There is a disease all around us that is killing everyone's tomato plants, we're hoping that somehow we miss it, so far the plants look good.
We're still nervous about Loki, he's blocked up again. We'll know more after we see Doc Margie tomorrow.
