Pulled up the ones with the largest leaves to see where their at
lmao, kinda dissappointed, but glad theres something there.

- 4/7/22 -

Beets Final

Bolting started so I pulled them up
Roots were super small, but I got pretty good producton from the leaves
Made a smoothie with the roots and had enough leaves to last about 3 meals worth

Cauliflower Leaves

No heads formed on these and aphids were starting to get to them
Decided to harvest some leaves
They taste just like collards

- 4/2/22 -

Beets

Pulled a bolted one and cut some of the biggest leaves

- 3/30/22 -

Chard Final

More plants were starting to bolt so I decided to harvest them all
Cut at the root at soil level with a box cutter
Got about 2-3 pounds worth

Kale Final

Further inspected the rest of my Kale plants and there were tiny aphids on most leaves I looked at
I was grossed the fuck out and said fuck it and harvested all the rest
When I checked on the other leaves I harvested and soaked overnight, that many aphids were still alive and all the leaves, I decided to toss all of it in the compost rather than go through the trouble of getting them off
Super bummed out, but learned that aphids are a fucking bitch

- 3/29/22 -

Cosmic Purple Carrot

Saw the heads poking out of the soil so I thought Id pick them out and see their size
Also, picked another with the largest leaves, it was slightly bigger
Not as productive as I wouldve liked, but not bad for lack of sun

Kale

Thank God, I noticed these aphids before I made a smoothie
They were pretty bad on a few plants so I decided to totally harvest them out.
Got a bucket of soapy water to knock off as many aphids into as I could while I cut the leaves from the stems, as the stems contained alotta aphids
Soaked the leaves to drown the rest of the aphids
