Today was the first day since I began my little adventure/wish of trying to grow 2,000lbs of garden produce that I thought I might actually be able to do this, like for real. Sure I’ve had a garden before, but were talking a few tomato, cucumber, pumpkin and maybe bean plants. Nothing like what I’ve got going on this year. Not even close.
I started the day by harvesting 6lb 10 oz. of shelling peas, checked in on the chickens, then went down to my neighbor’s yard (who’s moving tomorrow) and planted her 4 garden boxes with beans, carrots, squash, radish, and 18 cabbage. I’ll be going back in a few more days to plant the parsnips. I know I’m taking a bit of a gamble with planting in her backyard boxes because if her house sells before I can harvest…. well let’s just say the new homeowners will be picking their own dinner.
I was able to harvest 1lb 4 oz of sage and 12oz of oregano from her herb box {she was going to pull them out if I wasn’t going to use it} and then came home and washed and bundled up the herbs for drying. I was also able to pick a few strawberries and 1lb 6 oz of wild salmon berries as well. All in all, a good day.
Next on the list is harvesting some beets. Life is good.
