Since this thread has been resurrected how's about some updates on the current season from all you homesteaders out there.

In my neck of the woods just as soon as everything got planted we had a protracted heat spell. That was followed by a lengthy wet spell which has just ended.

Everything in the garden has hardened off and is beginning to take off.The asparagus is tapering off and we've been eating lettuce, some herbs and edible pod peas are ready to go . The radishes didn't do too well though this season. We seem to have problems with them some years and other times they do great - can't seem to figure that out.

The hay is ready to be cut, just waiting for a run of hot sunny weather.
