June Harvest Totals

We're slowly but steadily entering into the heavy harvesting season. June was mostly lettuce and spinach. The brassicas are also in now. Our broccoli harvest was a bust. Out of 20 or so plants we harvested barely more than a pound. The cauliflower did very well. We gathered 5 pounds and 12 ounces. We'll harvest the cabbage on Saturday. We have also had an excellent celery and pea crop. The berries are doing well, and we are very pleased with our first-time turnip harvest. Our totals for the month of June are listed below. Happy Gardening!

Most of this cauliflower will be blended into mashed potatoes. It's a very healthy way to moisten the potatoes. You don't really even need to use butter. Although we might want to anyway!
