Harvest Monday 8/13/12

We all enjoyed camping along Lake Michigan last week, until a big blob of rain planted itself right over Michigan for the rest of the week. But before the rain we got to enjoy the beach, a few light houses and Silver Lake sand dunes. Fun, fun!

When we returned home I brought in over 6 lbs of tomatoes and over 2 lbs of beans.

I figure this may be why my cucumbers were not growing so well. I found these buried behind all the vines and the raised bed. Though I am sure the bugs and disease did not help either.

And we picked more beans today, including a few overgrown ones.
Thanks for all the comments last week. I am sorry I couldn't get to yours, the signals was very limited up there.

Join in the Harvest Monday fun at Daphne's Dandelions.

  2. It looks like fun times on the beach! Too bad the rain came.

    What a food haul of veggies to come home to. It looks like you've got some yummy raspberries too.

  4. What a great harvest to come home to! Isn't it terrible the way those cucumbers can hide? I only have three plants in a pot, and I still find overgrown ones.

  6. We were out town last week too and came home to a big harvest :-) I have to admit that I worried about the garden a lot while we were gone, but everything was fine and happy and it was great to come home to big harvests. You had a great haul!!! Happy harvesting!

  9. Lovely array of produce and I'm very jealous of your camping trip - I'll have to wait a few months before the nights are warm enough for me to brave our tent.

  11. Good haul this week. Wish I had that many tomatoes to deal with. My brother won't be getting his usual gift bag from me this year. Your vacation sounded great despite the rain.
