We planted 4 rows , I am sure we will have extras.
How many pounds do you figure you’ll get Dave ? How long are the rows.

Rows are a little shorter this year . 50' x 4 . Planted a foot apart . Average a pound a plant or more . So at least 200 lbs .
We eat fresh picked smalls as soon as are ready in summer and continue into fall when we harvest . Keep some for next years seed , can some , some in cold room and give away rest to family and friends . Hope to get a garden cart made for the front to sell off some of the excess as it is ready . Not sure how it will work as we are on a side road and have a lot of dump truck traffic during the day .

Jumpins. All the rain we’ve been getting the potatoes going. If you look at the dates of the pictures, it’s amazing the difference.
I can see any kind of sandwich coming up soon with fresh lettuce on top. Yummie.

There coming right along. Your garden patch looks good. I planted mine way late, beginning the wonder if there going to come up. I got a few growing that I missed and left in the ground last year but that’s it.
