Carrots out the wazoo

Today is 91 days in and the carrots look pretty good. In fact I think I'll take another shot at it - very few of them got a big as I expected and I think I can do better.

But they are tasty.

Who knows potatoes?

Seeing as how potatoes do most of their business underground I'm having a tough time deciding when to pull them up. I looked for answers on the Google, but I got conflicting reports. A few sources say to wait until the green tops die off before digging them up. And just as many sources tell me to wait until the flowers die, cut off the tops, and then wait 7 days before digging.

I guess I could try a little of both. But I hate to waste even one precious, delicious spud.

Any thoughts from my millions of followers?

Who you calling tiny?

 Looks like I may have to retire the name "World's Tiniest Farmer's Market" soon. The garden is producing at an impressive rate. There were a lot of comments like, "You grew this?" Which is a compliment, right?

The word was getting out pretty quickly so the 1st floorers jumped in before the 2d floorers could respond. Looks like Griffin recognizes the Oscarde Lettuce she put in.

There should be a couple more rounds of Farmer's Markets before the season is complete. The next one should include carrots and the final installment should provide tons of potatoes.

Garden 2.0

We're 71 days in with about another 30 or so to go, but I'm already thinking about what's next. I haven't made a full plan but I know it will include tomatoes. More specifically these tomatoes. I have high hopes for these. Last year's crop did not go so well. (They were not Seeds of Change tomatoes btw.) I think it just didn't get hot enough last year to really explode like the ones the year before.

 I started these at my house last week and I'm planing to put them out in about a month when they are nice and strong.

Any thoughts on what I should put in next? Besides tomatoes of course.
