I finally managed to harvest most of the kale. I harvested everything that I was not going to be able to eat and froze it. I just blanched it for 2 min, ice water 2 min and then into the freezer in zip lock bags.
I didn’t realize kale would get quite that big, and seeing as I don’t eat it on a daily basis I have also been giving some of it away to a co-worker who eats it.
That is all of the shallots in the middle and potoatoes on the right and bottom
I also harvested all of my shallots, some garlic and a couple potatoes plants. The shallots looked pretty good although they were a little small. The garlic was also pretty small, it was spring planted garlic and in a shadier spot. All future garlic will be planted in full fun in the fall around mid-September. The potatoes had one hill with nothing but disease and the other had only 3-4 potatoes. These were the blue ones (maybe Macintosh) I planted. Also from the bottom bed that does get significantly more shade.
You can see the potatoe scab on the potatoes aspecially the one on the left.
