Compare these photos of the garden to those taken just shy of three weeks ago. The change is amazing. The potatos are taller than they have been since 1999 (when we also got a lot of rain - guess potatos like water). We are eating greens out of the garden practically every night. Based on past experience the garden is in 'peak' phase. I have kept up with the weeds and all looks good. This will be followed by 'lush' phase when the peas generally fall over and the weeds get a little out of hand. It will begin to look more like a jungle. This Sunday I hope to be eating fresh beets, new potatos and a salad along with liver and onions (and of course bacon) with the season's first deer liver. My favorite meal of the year. It marks the beginning of Fall. Patrick
