The garden has reached its productive phase. We need to pick every day. After Friday and Saturday, I put it on the scale: Two pounds. That's one pound a day of fresh beans, peas, zukes, and yellow squash. Today we grabbed a large head of lettuce for Grandma and Grandpa. It has been a lot of effort to get up and running this year, but now it is starting to pay off. What does a head of lettuce cost at Food Town? I don't know, but my sister and brother-in-law have done some calculations that show a direct financial benefit from the garden. When they send the numbers, I'll post 'em.
