Chard harvest(s)

We have been really lucky with the chard this year.  One little pot of starts and so far 3 dinners from it, and still lots more out there.  Wish I had planted more brocolli rabe too, but have been having some troubles with it bolting.  Perhaps starting the rabe indoors a month earlier, and getting it in the ground in April instead of May would have made all the difference.  Will try to get a fall crop later in the season, start seeds next month? 

The carrots are coming along but still have lots of time left to go.  The radishes are doing great and I have already eaten a few on salads.  The fingerling & Yukon gold potatoes are doing well, but I need to get out and mound around them today.  I hae been most excited about the lettuce this year.  Granted, when the weather gets real hot it will all likely bolt, but so far I have been able to grow my own lettuce for the past month and new additional crops have been planted for continued harvest potential.

The corn has been a complete and total bust this year.  I think the robins must have stolen the seed.  I have started another package of Early Sunglow (63days), in flats on the deck. It probably won’t have enough time, but we’ll give it a go.
