Everyone in the family is enjoying our produce even Max, the beagle.

The garden has grown in since the last post in late April and you can compare the photos taken from the same angles 2 months later.

Here is the tally of produce harvested from April 24-June 30 from garden and approximate market cost:

Cucumbers pickling– made 4 quart jars of pickles @ $4/jar=              $16

Cucumbers- Tyrolia-3 large cucumbers @ $1each=                             $3.

Lettuce- 46 heads of artisan lettuce @ $1.50 each=                             $69.
