Harvest Monday 8/20/12


This week has been a fairly good week. The beans are coming on pretty good and I will have enough to freeze some. Getting a small bowl of yummy raspberries every other day. And I finished harvesting the corn this week. The tomatoes must be in between one set and the next, because none of them are ripening at the moment after I got that 6+ lbs last week.


I harvested as many carrots as I could find. These are all gone already. Some of them I cooked up and put cold in lunch baggies for the kids at school, and the rest were roasted for dinner one night.


The size of the corn on the NE side of the garden is a good bit larger though still not up to the size it should be. Next year the garden will be rearranged to get more sun.

The rest of the corn! And a lovely red bell, it is ripening up nicely on the table as the kids watch and wait.

Getting a few strawberries here and there. They are yummy.

more beans...

  2. Hi Shawn Ann, You are getting a nice harbest. Wouldn't it be fun to be able to get a little of this and a little of that all year! Jealous of your raspberries as we are only getting very few from our second picking. Wonder what is up with that! Nancy

  3. Looks like you had a great week. What are the yellow/purple striped beans? Are they shellies?

  6. What a huge harvest. Good thing your kids will actually help you eat some of the veggies. Not mine.

  7. What a great looking harvest! I don't have room yet to put in most fall stuff. The couple beds that are emptying out have already grown root crops and that is first on the list because it's still too hot for lettuce to be sprouting.
