Harvested potatoes today. This was from 2/3 of a 3x8 bed. If only we had a root cellar...

Great looking stand. What variety and what planter?

Push type Earthway seeder.

I have Northen Extra Sweet and Gotta Have It.

The Northern Extra Sweet is much more vigorous. The Gotta Have It is supposed to make up to 3 ears per stalk.

Dry can them, they taste good and last a long time!

Interesting. Thanks for the suggestion - we did just buy a pressure canner!

Picked a couple bowls of tart cherries before the birds got them. Enough for 3-4 pies.

Well, I made enough filling for 5 pies! Cooked one, froze one, and bagged the rest for the freezer.

I think I'm going to plant another 300 bush beans for August harvest. I have 300 maturing in July, but I have an open 6' x 100' in the garden

Do you sell off produce, or can?

We're drowning in beans with just 16 or so plants, and just planted some more where we pulled up the potatoes.

To be honest I'm tired of gardening! After growing up on a farm with a HUGE garden and having gardens ever since, they have just become pretty much all work!

SO, I just plant a little for my wife and me and call it good enough. So here's a row with my fav potatoes, Yukon Gold's, and my two fav varieties of tomatoes,

I do have more than one garden spot, and yes, I do have a few other things planted.
