Garden Update

So about one month later and my garden is thriving, and so are the weeds and bugs. Two weekends ago my family pitched in to help me get ahead on the weeding, and I am not feeling so overwhelmed.
Here are the latest pictures.

I think that next year I will  try to use my space more efficiently, and plant things in rows rather than broadcasting. It is so much easier to find things. I still have a lot of weeding to do, and there are potato beetles all over my potatoes. Don't let anyone tell you that chickens like potato beetles, because they don't even look twice; the ducks are only marginally more interested. The chickens do like to reach through the fence and peck at my wong bok cabbage.

 Today I harvested peas, kale, tatsoi, 1 beet, and 1 turnip. I have been supplying my sister-in-law with leafy greens for her yeast free diet for a couple of weeks, and my spinach is pretty much shot. I sold a good sized bag of greens, and some green onions to a neighbor. Next year I will plant more green onions, I think. 

 I planted more beets, edamame, azuki beans, dill, flat parsley, and Thai basil. The tomatoes are going to town, and the peppers are mostly OK, but my eggplants are being eaten alive by beatles? I'm not quite sure. I planted broccoli rabe just for kicks, and we got one good crop before it got away from me. I'm going to save some seeds and try again this fall. I tried corn salad, and just about nothing came up, and what did really hasn't grown at all so I turned it over and planted beets.

It's not a great picture, but this is mu vining garden. I have three kinds of cucumbers, two kinds of zucchini, some bumpy squash, lemon squash, three kinds of cantaloupe, watermelon, kabocha, and some white pumpkins here.
