Here I am weighing in to the Freedom Harvest Challenge for August 2009. These are the results of two 3 x 8' beds, one in my very shady backyard and new one in my mostly-sunny front yard. Construction of a larger front yard garden with 6 beds is underway. This harvest is a huge improvement over last year's 1/2 lb. total (one unhappy cherry tomato in a pot). The last and largest item is the wild blackberries we pick from the bushes on the dead-end road nearby. I made 3 batches of jam from them this year and froze several large bags too.
- "Stupice" tomato: 8 lbs.
- Pickling cucumbers: 1 lb.
-Jalapeno peppers: 1 lb.
- Royal Burgundy string beans: 5 lbs.
