Garden Harvests - May 14, 2012

The harvests have been nice and steady this week.  We received some much needed rain on Saturday and the garden is showing the benefits.  I am still harvesting squash and lettuce, but the first batch of corn is getting there and should be here within a few more weeks.

This will probably be the last of the spinach, about 4 oz here.

Huge batch of lettuce, harvested 1.5 lbs this week.

Nice clean squash

Another batch, this was enough to freeze my first 2 pound bag.

It has been almost a week since I have posted and I have a pretty good reason.  I have been working on a project I have code named "Hell Week".  The project is almost complete and I will be posting about it in a few days.  My body is so tired I don't know what I was thinking.

On a separate note, I harvested the first yellow squash of the season, a good batch of lettuce, and a small batch of spinach.  Everything is going pretty good in the garden but we seriously lack rain.  It is so dry right now because we haven't had a drop in three and a half weeks.  There is no rain forecasted anytime soon so looks like the water bill will be high this month.

First squash of the season

They are a little warty because I left them on the plant too long

 

Huge basket of lettuce.

This was chopped up and we will be eating salads all week.

A little spinach, about 5 oz.
This was made into a hot cheesy spinach dip.

The harvests are starting to come in pretty regular now week by week.  I am done harvesting all my snow peas and the total harvested was just under 7 lbs.  I also harvested a pound of Alaska peas and a small amount of spinach.  I should have some lettuce and more peas coming in just a few more days.  It has been super busy around my house lately, and keeping up with the garden, much less my blog has proved difficult.  I am sorry if I have not been commenting as often on others, and I promise when things settle down I will.  Take care.

Here is a small amount of spinach, I just can't seem to grow good spinach.  

I have poor germination and small harvests.
