Potatoes! - Yukon Gold


We harvested two plants for a potato salad.  It may have been a little early.  We will check back in a week.  These will be used in a potato salad.  We are having a sort of harvest supper cook out tomorrow, from our lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and potatoes.  The corn is still a couple of weeks away.

Beans! and Peas


Yesterday, we picked 7 lbs, and today another 2.8 lbs.  That is a lot of beans.  Next year I will stagger the plantings.  


And we had a few peas that survived (most did not come up due to the cold wet spring.  They were very juicy and tasty.

Raised bed greens


About 4 weeks ago I planted this raised bed.  We have enjoyed eating the red and green oak leaf over the past few days.

Super Chili Peppers


I got this super chili pepper plant at a local greenhouse in the beginning of June.   It's "fruit" seem to grow upwards.  I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Corn - Knee high by 4th of July


I don't know where the saying came from, but knee-high by the fourth of July is where you want your corn to  be at least in Vermont.  This the best our corn crop has ever been.   I should also mention this is also the first time we have planted corn :-)
