Gosh... what a strange season, it started out wet then got dry. The onions & shallots did well. They were in early on raised rows and I had mulched them well so the dry didn't bother too much. The potatoes could have been better, couldn't get them in till late and they suffered from lack of moisture later on. Green beans, green beans, green beans! Boy did they produce, think the biggest picking was 70 lbs. Now the beets... they started out nice, lots of little plants coming up, then those pesky deer found them. By the time they were done I didn't pick a one for market. A small plum tree had lots of nice fruit and produced a couple of good pickings. I really should get more plums growing since they are good sellers at market. (They are so yummy.) There were enough wild blueberries for me to pick a couple of batches. You never know how the wild berries will do or how bad the mosquitos will be.
Gosh, there's more, I'd better cover some of the other stuff later.
