The first harvest is lettuce and
sugar peas. I’ve planted three
kinds of peas and so the harvest
is stretched out for three weeks.
In fact, I let them bloom a second
time, so I can harvest some in
July.
This year I put 180 tiny onions
in the ground, and have been
pulling tender ones to eat most
everyday. Garden cress is one of
my favorites as the taste is simi

he is not catching all of the baby
bunnies that live here. We have
caught several in a box trap in
my garden and transported them
to another part of the farm, but
they keep coming back to feast
on my row of beans. They did not
find the earliest ones, so we have
been eating some.
Somedays I must forget the
garden and pick .berries. As soon
as the strawberries are over, we
must climb the hill behind our
house and pick black raspberries.
That is one crop that we have no
trouble getting rid of as most peo
ple welcome a box or two.
