This week I harvested the potato cylinders. One was a bust - no pots; the second produced about 8 Yukon potatoes of med to small size. The smaller cylinder was a bust - may have had too much air circulating since I didn't compact the soil at all. Live and learn.
In place, I planted one swiss chard and one arugula and a 6-pack of green onions. The zucs are finally growing, as well, the surprise tomatoes and melon (of some sort) are on fire. We used the potato soil/compost/hay to mulch the veggies and the smaller fruit trees.
I made blueberry lemon marmalade today with Dawn. $16 worth of blues and $3 of Meyer lemons (only one from our garden) from the Little Italy farmers market and all we ended up with was 2-1/2 half pint jars :-/ While the jam is yummy, the yield was low. Next time I'll try something that will yield more. Time to try peaches and nectarines :-))
Sharon, your mango lime jam was awesome! we tried it for the first time today on homemade buscuits. You are an excellent jam maker! :)
