Lettuce Core Update and garden Update 8-5-14

Well here is the lettuce core.  I have been gone for two weeks and this is what it looks like now.

Pretty disgusting isn't it.  I will try another one in soil and see what happens to it.

The Yukon Gold potato plants were completely dead, so we harvested them Monday.  Here is what we got.  I put a regular sized canning lid in the picture to show the potato sizes better.

I brought home tomatoes and Larry made salsa.  He needed two bell peppers and was able to go pick them out of the garden.  I didn't think to take a picture before he cut them up, here is one still in the garden.  Nice and big this year.

The greens from Bangladesh are starting to germinate.  The grass is growing great in with them.

The Little Freckles lettuce is doing great.

Radishes are looking good too.  The front few leaves are from a turnip.  A few of them germinated and are doing good.

Only a few beets are coming up.  Hope more germinate soon.

The asparagus patch looks like a weed farm. I had all the weeds gone almost three weeks ago. The parsley plant has turned yellow.

Apples are growing nicely.  Still need to get them covered.

Picked a few peaches this morning.  You can see that the birds are eating them.  There are a few more to pick that I can't reach and a few more that have been eaten by the birds and aren't worth picking.  As soon as all the peaches are gone they will move to the apples.
Monday we had waffles with peaches and whipped cream on top for breakfast with our company.  YUMMY!
