Beets were perfection!
Daikon was okay, but not as perfect as last year. Make sure to give each plant enough space next year.
Jerusalem Artichokes grew well, with only one flowering period this year. Possibly still too close together. Harvest just okay. Consider starting with fresh stock next year.
Potatoes from Fedco were disappointing (we’re experimenting with holding over Hutchins fall potatoes until spring). Adirondack Blue did well. Other 2 varieties didn’t all come up and didn’t have impressive yields. Less insect damage this year.
Radishes first crop had long harvest season (planted in 3 stages). Second crop did great, but should have been planted in stages to spread out harvest. Wasabi type just did okay, not all matured (maybe too close together).
Rutabagas started out ok, but did not reach full size. Had some mildew and late aphid damage. Maybe plants too close together. Consider fertilizing more.
Salad Turnip first crop had uneven germination, possibly didn’t get watered due to planting along edge of bed not being noticed. Consider marking with colored string. Second crop was amazing, very little root damage.
Sweet Potatoes were not as vigorous overall. (Didn’t try to take over the garden.) Purple variety not as productive; standard type most productive. Tubers were clean and very few fingerlings. Harvested before any critter damage.
Turnips were good, but a little smaller than usual. Were hit with mildew.
