The 2007 garden season was fabulous for us. They grew 3 feet high by May 30th, and were 5 feet tall by end of June. We had ripe tomatoes by July 4th. In August we harvested over 100 pounds in one morning for canning. We made 70 quarts of tomato soup with them. The beans did very well, and we have saved plenty of seed for next year from them. The squash did fabulous as well, we had too much summer squash, and lots of butternuts for winter storage. The Winter Luxury Pie pumpkins are beautiful and tasty.
From our yard and the rest of the farm we got walnuts, chestnuts, grapes, apples, peaches, apricots, eggs, and melons.
We are already planning the 2008 garden to be even better and more cooperative in labor and resources. I plan on raising all the transplants again, since last spring was so great for them. I got the timing and growing perfectly meshed now for our season.
