Started Harvesting the Garden

Well I had intended on keeping record of my garden planting etc on this blog........well, l am also a soap maker and have been very busy making and selling soap at Farmer's Markets and Festivals this summer.  So the garden has been doing okay, but probably hasn't received the attention it should.  My husband seems to have taken over and this week has harvested peas, chard, beet greens, kale, and brocolli.  It's been pretty hot lately so the peas have stopped flowering.  They really like it cool so I don't think we will have a bumper crop this year.  The potatoes planted in straw are coming, but got hit bad with frost a few times in the beginning of the season so they have been slow to grow.  We will see what happens by the end of Aug.
