We’ve obtained our first real harvest!  On the weekend we cut enough Swiss Chard to have a bit with dinner.  Not much, a few forkfulls for each of us.  Tastewise - it was great; but really not any different than storebought.  In this case the benefit is intangible, it’s knowing it was fresh and grown without any additives.

We also picked a bunch of the Romaine lettuce.  We didn’t eat it that night and by the next day it was wilted, so that landed in the composter.  More is growing though, next time we’ll pick it when we’re ready to eat it an not before.

Carrots are still weak, probably due to being overshadowed by the potatoes before the cull.  I pulled all the radishes because (again I thin becuase the potatoes overshadowed them) they were all leaf and no tuber.

The tomatoes are flowering.  The beans are flowering (and growing like crazy).  The peas are flowering.  The peppers actually have little peppers on them!  Corn is up to about two feet high, and the squash and cucumbers are really starting to spread though they don’t have flowers on them yet.  Overall the garden continues to look more and more overgown and lush all the time.  I’m surprised at how much stuff is growing so high in such a small space.
