Ripley Victory Garden Week 9

Today is weigh in day! Let’s see how many pounds of produce we have harvested in the last nine weeks.

Last update was 73.5 lbs of fruits and veggies picked.

Total as of yesterday is 181 lbs 10 oz!

That’s over 100 lbs picked in the last 2 weeks, and the garden hasn’t even hit it’s full stride yet!

Here are some pics from around the garden this week:

I have taken the month of August off from baking to get my garden chores and canning done. The hubs and I feel the way the world is right now that anything we can do to set ourselves up for self sufficiency is top priority for us.

Next update August 10th – See you then! -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

  1. Fabulous! We are just getting started over here, but I am going to be done canning green beans this week, and moving in to dilled green beans after the next picking. Your peaches look magnificent!
