In conclusion:

I pulled up the rest of the plants in the 2 bigger beds leaving some parsley and the onions then covered the whole lot with sea weed gathered off the beach this morning. I gave the strawberries and the cabbages a layer of kelp too. The strawberries are going crazy in the rain, next year should be a good berry crop!

Allow the raspberries to take over more, make them a frame to stand in.

Plant more: Lettuce and carrots (don't let the cat get the sprouts!) and chives (unless those 2 plants go crazy). Maybe put the carrots in buckets like the potatoes.

Plant less: broccoli, kale and turnips.

Plant some: flat parsley instead of curly. One or two zucchini plants. A sunflower in front where it's warm.

Use bone meal and nitrogen.

3 buckets of potatoes was enough, you really don't eat that much.

I'd really like to have a privacy fence/hedge across the front and have been letting the cherry tree babies grow as much as possible. Tossing rose hips in the side yard and letting the weeds/cherry trees grow there. patience.

The other day I turned the compost (sort of) and it was steaming in the rain! Real live compost happening in my heap o' vegetable matter! It was a crazy dry summer but the rain is making stuff happen.

I finally know where the secret-double-secret blue berry patch is! I just didn't drive far enough last time...yeah 26 miles to the bridge then another 1/2 hour plus on the logging roads. It's for friggin' ever to get there, but the berries are phenomenal. Bigger and more dense than Eaglecrest or the Dan Moller trail!
