June Harvest Totals

As expected, June was a much better month, and things are finally really starting to grow here.  The extreme amount of rain we've had this year has been a bit of a challenge, and now it's blazing hot, so we'll see.  The tomato plants look good, and lots of green tomatoes are on the vine.  I don't think we'll have a ripe one by the 4th, but I hope not too long afterwards.  My Papaw always aimed to get a ripe tomato by the 4th of July, and some years, I do.

Arugula - 1c
Eggs - 131
Garlic - 98 bulbs
Garlic Scapes - 25
Kholrabi - 1
Oregano - 2c
Pea pods - 9.4 oz
Peas, shelled - 1 lb
Potatoes, Irish Cobbler - 1 lb 10 oz
Potatoes, Kennebec - 1 lb
Radishes - 10
Shallots - 2.8 oz
Strawberries - 22.5 cups

Also, we have mint, which the kids eat at will, as well as sage, dill, and cilantro.  I have tons of dill, actually, so if I would just start getting cucumbers, that would be great, but my cucumber plants aren't looking the best.  We are just starting to get some cherry tomatoes:

This was yesterday's harvest.  Hopefully, we start getting a lot more, because Lydia, Gyunay, I and love fresh tomatoes, and this small amount didn't go far.  The yellows are Golden Nuggets, and the reds are Mexican Minis. 

The egg count is a bit down.  Mama hen doesn't lay while she's hatching and raising chicks, so that's one less layer right now, and Nugget died a couple of weeks ago.  It's a good thing that Gyunay's not on a 4-eggs-every-day kick (although he does still eat quite a few eggs!).  All total, we have 1 Buff Orpington rooster, 3 Buff Orpington hens, 2 Plymouth Rock hens, 2 Americana hens, 1 Isa Brown hen, 1 Isa Brown pullet, 2 Turken pullets, 2 Sapphire Gem pullets, and 1 little barnyard chick.
