September Harvest Totals

 I finally got some produce from the garden this month.  The tomatoes have been deer-eaten and just not producing, but the tomatillos have produced more than ever!  I had over 6 lbs last month, and over 9 lbs this month!  I've made lots of tomatillo salsa, and more will be coming on.  The hens are mostly laying well.  Belle hasn't laid an egg since May, but the other 12 hens generally lay very well.  A couple of them were molting this month, so the numbers are a bit down.  The Edmondson cucumbers have taken off, too, and I've fermented lots of pickles as well as canning some.

Beans, blue lake - 2.1 lbs

Beans, cresent - 13 oz

Beans, dragon tongue - 14.2 oz

Cabbage, Asian - 1

Carrots - 7

Cucumbers, Edmondson - 66

Cucumbers, Green - 3

Cucumbers, NC - 1

Eggs - 196

Jalapenos - 4

Pepper, Bulgarian sweet - 2

Pepper, misc sweet - 1

Squash, Butternut - 3 mini ones (2.3 lbs)

Tomatillos - 9.2 lbs

Turnips - 1

Zucchini - 1

Plus cherry tomatoes, basil, cilantro, mint, sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and lemon balm

I grew one fennel plant, which the boys got at a 4-H event.  It has these really pretty caterpillars on it, which look a lot like the caterpillars that turn into monarch butterflies, so I let them have it:
