Whited’s Produce

Picking bush green beans is not my favorite task. It can be hot, boring and hard on my back and legs. But the results are rewarding and delicious. I picked about 8 feet of my 50 foot row. Got just under 5 pounds of beautiful green beans.

I had been doing pretty good with my carrot germination process until my last two plantings. Both failed. After the first failure, I tested the seed germination and got a little more than a 50% germination rate. Not great but enough in I over-seeded the bed. Tried my plant, soak and cover with black plastic process and still nothing again. Removed the plastic and after a couple of days, I cut the water off. Was planning to buy new seeds and replant. Today I was weeding adjacent rows and noticed a little bit of green. This is what I found.

Got .2 of an inch of rain at the farmette today. Unexpected but welcome.

This is a second step in my juicing evolution. This time with photos. More ugly carrots, carrot greens and some celery. All harvested from my Farmette this morning. I am really liking this healthy, refreshing drink.
