We enjoyed broccoli and cauliflower from the garden this past week, a whole pound of it. We had a mix of Piracicaba and Violet Queen cauliflower, and it was delicious. We also harvested about an ounce of onion top thinnings and, you guessed it, more lettuce, almost 2 pounds.
With the lettuce, 
our harvest came in at a little over 3 lbs. last week. That brings the total crop value to $259.39, and the total value to $-8.15. So close, and yet so far. I will be further in the red next week, as I bought some straw mulch today, increasing my expenses.

Broccoli and lettuce, lucky you! Mine are both long eaten, although I just planted more lettuce seed. You are indeed so close to catching up with your expenses, congratulations!

Ah so close. I cringe every time I buy something now. This is going to be my most expensive gardening year probably. Most of the expense will come in the fall though when a lot of the landscape gets put in.

Beautiful harvests. It seems that everyone was harvesting the Piracicaba broccoli this week as I read through the harvest posts. I may have to try that variety next year.

I’m still in the red too, farther than you. That’s a lovely basket of lettuce!
