Harvest

Some people count the days or look at their plants to figure out when to harvest.

Not me.

I wait until the deer start to nibble. But perhaps the better term would be mow.

The good news is that deer leave potatoes alone. The bad news is that they consider the corn free game.

On July 19th, I harvested my corn. I lost about about 9 ears, but ended up getting two coolers full of ears. (It translated to roughly two gallons of corn in the freezer.) On July 21st, I pulled all of the fingerling potatoes, LaRatte and French. Awesome harvest of potatoes, especially considering the lunch bag of seed potatoes that I got from the Maine Potato Lady. (I love the Potato Lady!)

Yum.
