potato harvest?
I decided to dig up my potatoes.
I had planted a dozen small potato bits, they grew into plants that came up, the plants died due to my lack of watering in late July. I got more plants than what I had put in, however, they didn't really grow because they didn't get enough water.
I had planted some parsnips two years ago, pulled one up and found it had hardly grow, so left them. They came up again this spring having survived the winter in the ground. So I decided to pull another up. Again because of the watering (the lack thereof), it doesn't look as good as it might have otherwise.
And finally here are the garlic bulbs that I had harvested in early August, I had left them outside to dry; they're not as big as I'd like, but then, I was a terrible farmer this year.

I feel for you, you know I do. But it was a hard year for everyone, it's not just you.
I'm down to just a few herbs these days. Enthusiasm wanes when you realise it is cheaper to buy the vegetables than to grow them.
zhoen, thanks, hopefully next year I'll remember to water more regularly.
Deb, it is certainly easier to buy the vegetables; but I'm interested in the idea of even a modicum of self sustainability.
