Simple garden techniques described in details so anyone can easily follow through on their end while sharing ideas and pictures on how the garden is progressing through out the year.
Nancy - if you look at the weight totals you'll see that it's really not alot. This week reached only 13 lbs. Every week is getting smaller and smaller.
Look at all those beautiful tomatoes and peppers! Another great harvest week for you. We all suffer the ramp down blues of the garden tally's getting lighter and lighter. I still have some big ones to go though as I have yet to lift the potatoes and my pumpkins and winter squash have yet to be harvested (they will be in October for us). Once they are done though, it will be very light harvests as I will be into the greens and root crops.
It's in-between harvests time that's always depressing. I wish I had more squashes or potatoes to pick but they're all done. Pupkins were ruined and only 1 survived. Fall plantings are just waking up so it will be a long time before anything harvested from that side. I have quite a few green tomatoes setting all of the sudden, but with temps getting into 40s I'm not sure how ripe they'll get.
Let me also say I think that's a nice haul you have there! We're in between summer and fall crops here too. I'm ready for some variety! But not really ready for winter.
That looks like a nice harvest to me, I guess small is a lot better than none. And look at that haul for the year - 839 pounds! Whoa, I think you've deserved a well earned break.
Can't believe the amount of produce you are still getting! Very nice! Nancy

ReplyDeleteI'm definitely NOT ready for winter - cold and wet weather makes me very sick and depresed so I'm enjoying sunshine while it lasts.

ReplyDeleteOh I'm not complaining, i got a lot more than I was hoping for.
DeleteThat does not look like a small harvest to me.
ReplyDeletethank you, it's better to have something that nothing at all i guess.
