Peppers are coming in about every day or two. Beans are coming in pretty good. I have frozen several bags. Cherry tomatoes are in abundance still. Large tomatoes are few and far between, maybe a few a week. And the Fall bearing raspberries are coming in a small handful at a time. There are only 2 plants out there that I can see and only one of them is getting red right now, surely the other one won't be far behind.

| The last cantaloupe was picked, there were 3 total, but one rotted. |
 |
| The first yellow zucchini of the season and another summer ball pumpkin, probably the last. |
 |
| One cup of the pumpkin and one cup of the zucchini went into this pumpkin zucchini bread! Mmmm yum. Recipe found on All recipes, Pumpkin Zucchini Bread |
 |
| More dried beans. The red pepper is actually a purple beauty bell. I let it go red because kids didn't like it purple! |
 |
| Some of the popcorn has been shucked in that pie tin, a huge pile of cherry tomatoes, 2 more zucchini, more beans, more chard, more peppers! And another handful of raspberries. These 2 zucchini went into a recipe called Skillet Zucchini I found on Allrecipes as well. Super good recipe! |
Hoping for some rain today and this week. It has been very dry. Maybe a good rain will pump my garden into high gear again! It sure needs it! Plus we have a cool front coming in this week. We have had 100's the past few days and my peas and brassicas are not liking it one bit! Hope we don't go strait from blasted hot summer to super cold winter. A nice fall would be pleasant!
Look at all that food - very impressed. Its dry here too - we had 10 years of drought then the past year has been lovely and wet but it seems to have stopped raining again. I hope you get some soon.
ReplyDeleteIts like colourful festival of harvest in your kitchen. Great to hear you have some home-grown bean supply when winter comes.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful harvests! It looks like your cherry tomatoes are producing just as much as mine are...I can hardly keep up! I'm with you, I am hoping for a nice fall :-) Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful harvest. I like the yellow zucchini. My zucchini is gone to bugs and disease. I probably should have pulled it earlier and replanted.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen counter is like a harvest cornocopia! All that variety and bounty spilling out over the area. I always appreciate a harvest that has many things in it - as it gives so many more options for the daily menus.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my!! That is one heck of a harvest!
ReplyDeleteNice harvest, I've never grown shelly beans before, which variety are you growing? I really need to learn to cook with dried beans, they are so healthy for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you garden friends. Mac, those are Taylor Dwarf Horticultural aka 'Cranberry'. I haven't tried them yet, this is my first year at dried beans. I'm also letting the dragon tongue go to dried bean.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! My beans were kaput this year...I am impressed how yours are still coming on. Lovely, lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bountiful harvest! What type of dried beans are those? They look fantastic.
