A late July harvest
We’re a long way from feeding ourselves from our backyard garden. But pulling potatoes and garlic from the soil and picking zucchini, cucumbers, beans and lettuce on a sunny July morning at least suggested that good things are possible. We harvested a couple of carrots and onions on the same day, but they didn’t show up in time for the photograph. And we actually have a ton of swiss chard still growing. We’re not big fans of it, however, and don’t think we’ll plant it again and therefore didn’t invite it to the picture-taking session.
