• Salad Mix

• Tomatoes

• Beets

• Leeks

Got lots of cover crops seeded this past month! Building soil one bed at a time. Sam is obviously stoked.

Workshare crew crushing the last of the potato harvests. We grew 12 beds this year, and the first is always the easiest and more fun to dig. We stop watering the potatoes once they die back so that they can  cure in the field, but it makes the soil crusty and chunky and less fun to dig. But teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Prep for last nights dinner. Roasted beets and potatoes in the pan with a whole roast chicken. Big ole salad with a side of brown rice cooked with leeks and butter and herbs.

Very proud of this beet haul. Each beet seed is 3 plants, so they tend to get crowded. We transplanted them this year, separating each plant and planting at 4 inches. Our beets sized up very evenly and we never once had to go back and thin them :) The extra time we spent transplanting was well worth not having to spend more time later thinning. Transplanting for the win. Added bonus: the greens are gorgeous!

Ali is happy that there are still lots of tomatoes to harvest!
