I wanted to let you know about a couple of harvests of vegetables I completed today. First off one steakhouse tomato was ready for picking and was a very large one that weighed one and a half pounds. (more…)
Cherry tomatoes came first and now both of my Roma and steakhouse tomatoes are now on their way to a ripening pinkish red color. There are only a few of them changing colors, but soon the rest will follow. With plenty of sunshine they will turn much faster and will be harvested earlier. (more…)
It wasn’t going to be long to start picking peppers since the last post I wrote. I could have harvested them earlier, but there was no rush to pick any of them prematurely. Today felt like a good day to do some harvesting of a few of my vegetables. (more…)
There were two different harvests today that I was hoping to accomplish either yesterday or today. Luckily it was a good day and I was able to harvest the first pole beans and cherry tomatoes of the season. (more…)
I had some more cucumbers that were ready for some harvesting and they were a good size as well. I had a couple of large ones and a few average sized cucumbers that I could use for many different things. These were just cucumbers and pickles will be coming very soon and hopefully plenty of them. (more…)
I just started removing my onions from the totes they grew in and I am now beginning to dry them out. The plants were beginning to fall over and this is the sign that it is time for them to be removed and placed in a hot sunny spot to dry out. (more…)
I picked one cucumber this past Saturday, but I knew I would be picking more today so I decided to wait to write a post until I picked all the cucumbers that were ready. I also had some more zucchinis that were at the right size and decided to pick them as well. (more…)
It is that time when many vegetables are ready for picking. Zucchinis are sometimes the first to be ready, but they are not always first. It looks like my cucumbers and some pickles are going to be done at the same time. (more…)
It looks like I will be harvesting some fruits and vegetables soon in addition to the ones that I have already been picking. So far blueberries, lettuce, and peas have been harvested and most of my Spring crop is all but finished. I have picked a third harvest of blueberries and still more bushes need to be picked. (more…)
So far things are going good and plants are beginning to produce some food including both fruits and vegetables. There are some tomatoes and zucchini that are beginning to show themselves. These are the only two plants that will most likely start the summer harvesting season. (more…)
