| New Potatoes; White Creamers & All Blue |
More potatoes this week, mostly White Creamers and All Blue. The main planting is fairly protected, inside a weld wire fence which is inside an electric fence. But some were planted in the front yard where the old pallet fence was falling down. And of course the dang javalina found their way in.

So working on replacing the fence became a priority; there is still more to do, but I closed up the main gap the javalina were coming through.
 |
| that *was* about 30 lettuces just 2 weeks from cutting |
So then the next day I discovered a squirrel had eaten the next lettuce patch. To the ground. Barely even a stump left. I was not happy to say the least. And I have been watching for it to come back.

To add insult to injury it also took off with the biggest green tomatoes.

| beets & potatoes for dinner! |
The beets are starting to come in and they are so sweet and delicious! Roasted with a little olive oil and seasoning they are as sweet as candy. And all the colors are so pretty together.

| Baby Pak Choi |
The baby Pak Choi was starting to bolt, so pulled it all, 3 pounds from a small patch and all spoken for as soon as I let the word out.
 |
| time for the peas to be gone |
The peas have given less and less the past couple of weeks. We've had some cooler weather so they aren't too sad looking yet, but they aren't producing enough to be worth the water. So out they are coming, to be replaced by cucumbers.
