garden status

This picture was taken back on June 1st to show an overview of the garden's condition. To the casual observer it still looks a bit barren, and the plants rather small; however, don't forget that this farm is an entire 0.01 acre, so the plants only look small in comparison to all the land we have.

In terms of our vegetable selections there have been some winners, some losers, and some in between. Winners: the potatoes plants (no guarantee they're actually making potatoes though) and the weeds. Moderate sucess: anything that stinks, such as garlic, onions and shallots. Losers: anything succelent and tasty such as lettuce, artichokes, beets, peas, beans, yes just about everything else that an animal would like to eat has been eaten. My solution? I planted more potatoes!
