July Harvest Totals

July is always a good time in the garden, because even when some crops fail (this year - cucumbers), others are sure to be thriving.  While most people are having a poor year in their tomato crops, I am having the best year yet, and the plants are still healthy and loaded, so I expect lots more to come.  I am very excited about the tomato harvest - it's over 30 pounds already, and I didn't get the first ripe tomato until about mid-July!  Also, the squirrels have eaten several of my best ones, so the plants are really producing well.  Other plants are looking good but are delayed, so there should be lots of beans in August, but almost none were ripe in July.  Overall, I am thrilled with the gardens, but I am always tweaking things for a better harvest next time.

Beans, Dragon Tongue - 5.3 ounces
Blackberries - 2.5 cups (last year the plant was severely damaged during house painting, so less crop)
