Harvest Time

Early this spring, busylizzy and her green thumb talked her brother into letting her grow a garden on his five acres. It was formerly an organic farm with berries, produce and free range chickens. The payoff started a few weeks ago with potatoes and cucumbers and now continues with carrots, beets and corn.
 
 
Jubilee Corn that started late and is just now filling out. Hopefully, the extended warm weather will help with the ripening. We had some on Sunday and it was lacking.

 
The beets got humongous a little too quickly. busyizzy's niece's daughter, Karisa, is the little princess helping with the harvest.
 
There are a few pails of cucumbers, again.  They are good fresh eating and we have plenty for pickles too.

 
In case you hadn't noticed, there are more weeds than veggies. This is the organic method and it all grows well together. If we lived beside the garden instead of many miles away, we would be on top of it with a hoe.
