Hello, Hive Gardeners! 👨‍🌾

This is my fourth post this year in the Hive Garden community. The last one was almost a month ago, when everything started to grow.

In the meantime, we were mainly preoccupied with watering due to the drought, but we were also at sea for 10 days.
So, it's time to update.

I'll start with potatoes. It has been more than 60 days since we planted them, and now the early potatoes should be ready for harvesting, if all has gone well. But it was not fine. It was attacked again by some disease, and by the time we were at sea, it had yellowed entirely and dried out. This does not mean that there will be no harvest, but that it will be less.
A month ago, it looked great.

Now, the photo is three days old, and it doesn't look good. The plants are yellow or withered, and only the weeds persist. The drought has done its work.

Now it will soon have to be picked up, otherwise it will rot.
We have picked some of it up from permaculture. I am not saying there are none, but the tubers are small.

And there were quite a lot of peas - 3 kilos. Of course, it still needs to be peeled.

The garlic has started to dry out; if this happens, it must be dug up because the cloves will not separate otherwise. So okay, I dug it up.
But it's not a surplus either.

The peppers are growing well, the eggplants are flowering, and one has already produced fruit.

We also picked some zucchini and cucumbers.

Tomatoes are good, for now. Maybe some cherry tomatoes will be ripe in a few days.

Waiting for the green beans. The low beans have started to flower, and the high beans are wrapping themselves around the sticks.
Based on my experience from previous years, this is our best soil for beans. For three years now, we have been producing over 20 kilograms of beans each, and this year, we have planted even more, so we expect another excellent harvest. But not until August.

I mustn't forget the pumpkins! Just because I'm taking part in the Hive Pumpkin World Championship organised by @der-prophet and @hive-world-champ.
Pumpkins grow great! We planted four seedlings on the veil and they are spreading nicely. One little one has already shown up, I think it's a Hokkaido.

As they are growing well, my wife and I planted four more seedlings on the other side of the field.
I had to mow a bit because it was full of weeds. Last year, not a single one performed well there, so we'll see if anything changes this year.

In the main, for now, I am satisfied, because, given the drought, it could have been worse.
However, I am most disappointed about the potatoes, as I already know they will be small and that there will not be a large crop. Everything else remains to be seen.
But the first crops have already been harvested.
