Pounds of Potatoes

Potato Harvest

I haven't blogged for a few days, because I have been working a lot, there hasn't been too much happening at the garden; however, I did harvest the above vegetables this week. My yield was 15 lbs of russet potatoes, 2 eggplants, and 1 small zucchini for Monday. Wednesday, I picked 5 large, ripe tomatoes and a round squash. There has been a heat wave lately, and my decorative flowers are withering, but the vegetables all look good. I have replaced the row in the garden where the potatoes were growing with green beans.

Le Grand Tour De Lansing Gardens July 22, 2015

Tomorrow is the community garden tour of some of the best gardens in Lansing. Unfortunately, my garden isn't on the walk, due to distance from the starting point, but if you want to drive past, it is located on the 400 block of South Detroit, across from Dagwood's bar. We spent a few hours out there tonight harvesting, watering, and prettying things up for the tour. Sadly, we also discovered that someone had picked some of our ripe tomatoes without permission. Finally,  July 22 from 10am-1pm is also the last day of the season for the resource center. I am going to check in and see if they have any plants left.
