We harvested our first potatoes this week. Despite the potato beetle infestation, drought, hail, and straight line wind that knocked the stems to the ground, the harvest is rather good.
The bean harvest is only starting. Cucumbers seem to be struggling because of the drought. I decided to go against our no-watering policy for them and it seems to make a difference. I should be able to pick a couple today. Our kale plants keep producing good amounts of leaves. We have already harvested two dozen zucchinis this year. Tomatoes are only now starting to ripen (the garden is at 3,000' above sea level).
I include a photo of our rather messy-looking garden.
