129 pounds ready to go!
We had our best harvest so far this season with 129 pounds of produce going to the food pantry. We had 27 pounds of potatoes, 22 pounds of cucumbers, 19 pounds of onions, 9 pounds of eggplant, 8 1/2 pounds of beans and squash, plus 7 3/4 pounds of blueberries!
We had 5 people picking blueberries and we were only able to pick about half of the blueberries before it was time to head over to the food pantry.
We also harvested basil, kale, lettuce, parsley, peaches, swiss chard, tomatoes, and zucchini! And we can’t forget the two large bunches of zinnias.
We still have lots of onions and potatoes waiting to go to the pantry next week.
It was a beautiful, crisp and cool morning with lots of dew on the grass. As we were wrapping up, a very large red tailed hawk flew over head and the chickens decided it was the better part of valor to head inside the shed.
