    More rain than Noah had to put up with this year. It really hurt the cucumbers, squash etc. The blueberries did well though the figs had to much water content, I thought I would never get them dehydrated.
    This is the year of the great sweet potato experiment, five types with three different colors. Fingers crossed and I will try to dig up a few this coming weekend. They are great to wrap in foil and toss in the egg as I shut off the air . The residual heat will cook them.

    My daughter planted this year, she decided to add some flowers and for the first year we haven't had the deer and moose take the beet tops off, I actually haven't caught them in the garden at all, and it usually is a regular daily fight. This was a few weeks ago, its starting to fill in pretty good.

    beans were up about 7 feet and something ate the stems at the bottom, no beans this year. think i figured out why the tomatoes plants are so big this year, coming up on 8 foot tall this year, theres a ground spring under the raised beds, the ground is still soaked around the raised beds i put in, no need to water =)  still a few weeks for maters.  need to dig up a garlic plant, i think its getting close

    anyone know much about hard garlic. the leaves just started turning tan so im assuming i pick this week and hang to dry. what about the seed clove heads, same thing, i kept a doz or so. tasted the flower cloves last week, russian red garlic packs a punch. the cloves look small but the garlic and heat is way up there

    looks like another week or two. saw mention the bulbils that grow in the scape, they grow an edible chive the first year, might try that indoors this winter and pickle a bunch. they are pea size, look like this
