An unexpected harvest

I had not planned on harvesting any potatoes until Mid-July/August but the patch with the Chieftain and yellow potatoes were just not doing that well. So, dig we did and got a decent harvest for the amount of time those little guys were in the ground.

With the weather I admit I’ve been a little depressed, but yesterday the sun (along with a Summer Solstice sale from Farmington Gardens) encouraged me to do the rest of the buying for the season. So, I now have:

1 hops tree (yay hops)
2 bushes of Willamette raspberries
2 bushes of Toro blueberries
2 lipstick strawberry plants
1 San Marzano tomato plant
1 Zebra tomato plant
1 black plum tomato plant

I totally forgot to get the tomato frames so I will have to run out and get those today.

Diversify, diversify, diversify…right?
