July Harvest

 We finally started getting some produce this month, although many crops were late.  I am actually, as of this morning, getting tomatoes finally.  There were only 6 before today (and today, I picked 9, so those will go on August's totals).  Here are the stats, including the excess cockerels we culled this month:

Beans, Dragon - 10.5 ounces

Beans, Kentucky Blue Lake - 1.4 lbs

Beans, Provider - 5.4 lbs

Blackberries - 2cups

Bok Choy - 3 

Cabbage, Napa - 2

Carrots - 8

Chickens - 4 harvested, total 11.9 pounds

Chijimsai - 6  (This is an Asian green, kind of like spinach.)

Cucumbers, Chicago - 2

Cucumbers, Double Yield - 5

Cucumbers, Edmondson - 6

Eggs - 223

Garlic - 58

Jalapenos -2

Potatoes - 12.8 oz

Pumpkins, mini Jack-Be-Little - 13  (These are mostly just for fun, for the kids to play with.)

Radishes -8

Swiss Chard -1

Tomatoes -6, total 2.3 lbs

Turnips -3


Plus cherry tomatoes, dill, mint, oregano, sage, and thyme


Obviously, green beans were my main vegetable harvest this month.  Some of the kids eat them, but not all.  I did pressure can some for the first time last week.  We did have one meal that was all from our yard: roasted chicken, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and roasted potatoes.  I did add a few potatoes from the farmer's market to make enough for the eight of us.
