Things in the garden are finally picking up a bit since we actually enjoyed slightly warmer weather over the last several weeks. Last week I picked a our first crop of beans and harvested a little lettuce. The lettuce this year has lasted much longer than usual due to our very cool weather. We still have a little leaf lettuce and spinach and our head and romaine lettuce is about ready. For the beans we had enough to freeze eight bags for later this winter while still having a bin full in the fridge for the last week.
Added to that we are seeing the first yellow squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes starting to ripen. Yesterday, I was able to harvest another round of beans (only four freezer bags this time along with replenishing our fridge supplies) along with 1 raspberry and 5 blueberries (both crops are still new and establishing themselves).
