This is a joint harvest - part of it came from the community garden - all large red and orange tomatoes are from there, eggplants and the front row of the butternut squash are from that garden. Black, green and bi-color tomatoes are from my new garden. All tomatoes including cherry types going back tomorrow to be delivered to the food pantry, but squash and eggplants remain here as they can't divide them evenly between people who need food - there's simply not enough for everyone so I get to keep them. On the far left side you can see previous harvest of butternuts that were already measured - 7 of them and some acorns next to them. They were not counted in today's harvest. Not visible in the main picture are leaks that are just outside the shot in the sink. And we have our first watermelon! I haven't cut it yet but do hope it is fully ripe. There were 2 others but they got split from the last rain storm.
Awesome! We're getting very close to harvesting our butternut squash too. You have tons of food! I hope you get more and more of those melons. Great work Jenny!
ReplyDeleteI have few cantaloupes but only a base-ball size watermelons left. I am very happy with butternuts because they store well for winter and if i see them going soft I can always freeze them. I love them in winter soup or as a side dish.
DeleteTakes me all month to get this much produce from my garden! lol I did pick a butternut today because I saw a hole in it. Will post the picture on my blog Monday. Maybe someone can tell me what did it. Nancy
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that your butternut got damaged. Hope nothing else will be lost. Good luck!
DeleteVery very nice harvests! Love all the tomatoes-they're so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou continue to amaze with your bountiful harvests! And lots there to put away for the winter...
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, there's enough to store some for winter and eat for dinner :)
