Sweet corn is getting close. Probably a few are ready.

We don't fool with them anymore. We don't eat much jelly/jam or eat much cobbler or make wine.

Normally it is advised to break the egg shells up then bake them in the oven . helps to get rid of the raw egg smell. I never bother with the egg shells as it takes a long time to gain any benefit. those egg shells will still be there the next year.

I never fertilize for radishes as I don't want a lot of top growth. I want them to put their energy into the root.

Radish is usually grown in the cool weather in the spring. Usually in the heat of the summer they will go to seed before you get a good root. You may have some luck in partial shade and kept watered but not water logged.

My radishes grow in plain ole clay better than potting soil.

Got my first pick today.

And harvested the last of my spring potatoes!

58lbs russet potatoes
55.5lbs gold potatoes
So not as good as my 75lbs of red potatoes, but not bad!
Now just gotta figure out what to do with 188lbs of potatoes

How are you going to store those? I've got a bunch inside and a small row yet to dig up. I read where a fridge is best but not sure that I have room. Thx!
