Not much, but it all adds up. 3 oz of radishes today.

David S.

Things are just getting started here but we did harvest 20 lbs of rhubarb in May. More to come as soon as we can get to it!

so far 10 lbs of peas Have tomatos on the vine and other garden stuff up so it will be more.

So far... 1.5 lb of peas (shelled)

(Still trying to learn how to garden in Georgia. We had great gardens when we lived in Alberta, but Georgia is proving to be a challenge.)

2.5 pounds of radishes! They are huge, crisp and sweet!

Just scratching around for a few early potatoes and got 1.7 lbs, plus a few yellow crookneck squash, zucchini, eggplant and patty pan - for a grand total (including the potatoes) of 4 lbs. Can't wait for more!

7 pounds of araza
5 pounds of guayabilla
11 pounds ginger

total of 23 pounds

14 more ounces of radishes, and 21 ounces of leaf lettuce.

David S.

Ancel, I know what ginger is, but I'm not sure of the other two things. Even if there isn't an English word for them could you tell us about them? Really, I'm just curious ;-)

Hi Mary,

happy to! Araza and Guayabilla are guava relatives. Both are small sized trees, up to about 15 foot high, and produce heavily about 3 times a year (here anyway). The araza is yellow, is about 3 - 5 inches in diameter, has a skin like a peach, smells delicious and tastes very acidic. The guayabilla is smooth, shiny skinned, about 1 -3 inches in diameter and also very acidic. It produces less, again about twice a year. There is no name in English, but the scientific names are Eugenia stipitata for Araza, and Eugenia victoriana for the guayabilla.

The fruits are too acidic to eat from the tree but are great in a juice or in jams, pies, puddings, scones. I use mine to make a great jam we sell at the farmers' market. It tastes a bit like rhubarb, if you haven't had rhubarb jam for ten years. Hope this is useful!

Ancel, thanks for the info!

In May I harvested about 1 pound of radishes, with a few snips of peas thrown in. It's a start. :-)
So far in June I have harvested maybe 1/2 pound of green beans, and boy were they delicious.

Hmm. May was a slow month.

About 3 lbs of salad greens as we ate salad almost every day. 3 lbs pounds of radishes and radish greens.
1lb of other greens
1/2lb of onions

Our totals for May (yes, I know I'm late) were:

97.8 lbs total

94 lbs strawberries

MrBadger, you crack me up! I've created new columns in my spreadsheet just for you!

I aim to please! Spring weather here in the Willamet Valley is cool and so things are slow taking off. But we should be harvesting some non-rodent crops soon, mostly lettice at first but a bunch of tomatoes, zuchiinnie and squash. Got a lot more planted but nothing that will be harvested anytime soon. So I have to report what I can!!! :-) (And the rodent harvest probably isn't over yet either.)

My spouse does point out "but is he *eating* them?! It is a harvest challenge!" I had to confess to not really having the stomach to ask... ;)

Well, ya'll, I refuse to touch the thing, even long enough to weigh it, but I got a 3 foot rattlesnake this evening.....

Just 'cause I "harvest" them don't mean I eat them! Got another gopher by the way, maybe 5 pounds. I'm just guessing at the weight 'cause I don't want to weigh them either. To be honest I hate killing the things. But whach'a goin'a do?

Hello I am new here but wanted to jump into this post as soon as possible. This month I have harvested 1/2 pound of fajita peppers and a 1/4 pound of bush beans.

4lbs green beans
2.5 lbs purple beans (with another harvest waiting for me to pick them)
2.4lbs strawberries

We have tons of tomatoes on the vine and some wonderful looking pumpkins. Hopefully now that I have corrected the watering problem with the cucumbers, zucks, and other squash we will start to get some of those.

Yesterday Picked:
7lbs 2oz Plums
3lbs 1oz Zucchini
2lbs 5oz Zucchini
10oz Romaine and Buttercrunch Lettuce

Mary, I hear they're good eatin'... Can't say I've ever done it though. I leave the exotics to the spouse!

My parents did help catch a few rattlers years ago while visiting friends in Redlands, though. Nailed three of them to a board to leave out overnight for tanning the next day... and something scavenged them first. Had it not, I'd probably have tasted rattler way back then...

3 more lbs of tomatoes
6 lbs cukes
1.5 lbs beans
lots of mint, basil, and rosemary

and about 1.5 lbs hot peppers.

This morning:
2lbs 2oz Zucchini
