The Modern Victory Garden

Each Monday, Daphne’s Dandelions hosts “Harvest Monday” where everyone submits links to their blog posts summarizing their harvest for the week.   It’s fun to see what everyone else is harvesting from gardens in so many different regions.   Check it out and join in!                

On Sunday I spent a few hours in the garden turning over the green manure crop (crimson clover) and then layering on compost in one of the two largest beds ( 4’ x 32’ ) in the garden.  This is in preparation for the early spring crops that will be planted out in mid to late March.             

This bed was the potato patch in 2010.    Consequently, as I was turning over the green manure crop, I turned up a few missed potatoes from the fall potato lift.   They had over wintered quite nicely.   There was just slightly over a pound of potatoes that I harvested in the course of doing this work.                        

Earlier in the week, I had also harvested some nice mixed greens from the container plantings in the unheated greenhouse.   It was enough for two very nice sized dinner salads but did not weigh enough to round up to ¼ lb, so they were not included in my harvest tally for the week.              

Harvest totals for the week of February 28th through March 6th (rounded to the nearest ¼ pound).

• Lettuce & Greens 0.00 lbs (not enough to round to ¼ pound)
• Potatoes 1.00 lbs

Total For Week 1.00 lbs

Total Year To Date 11.00 lbs                    

Eggs harvested this week - 35
