Fall Garden Update - October 6, 2016

Just a note to blog about the totals for the Spring/Summer Garden 2016.  We had some stupendous successes, and some total failures, as usual, but the total of over 262 pounds of vegetables makes me smile!

Snow Peas 4 pkg    
Cabbage 11 pkg

Sweet Peppers 2 pkg    

The fruit.  We had a very bad peach crop (I think because we had such a mild winter last year, the trees didn't get the number of cold hours that they need), and a very big elderberry crop. Some of the fruit never made it to the scale, especially the blackberries which were eaten right off the bush!  I'm looking forward to see how 2017 does since we've added a few more fruit trees this past year.
