two of the bigger eggplants harvested this year.

Beans are Mature Enough for Harvesting Along With Eggplants

This will be quite a long post since I haven’t written one in awhile. Many harvests have been happening over the past several weeks. Some of these harvests include many fruits and vegetables. Many of them are the first for the season such as beans, cantaloupes, and even eggplants. I also have my fall crop in the ground which includes both broccoli and kale. These I will be harvesting far into the fall season and possibly longer depending on the weather.

Summer Harvests are Beginning to Come Through

Now that summer is just about halfway done my crops for this season are starting to ripen. This includes tomatoes, cherry, Roma, and beefsteak along with eggplants, peppers, pumpkins, cantaloupes, watermelons, and more. I also transplanted all my broccoli in the garden in order to achieve a fall crop this year. I also plan on picking some pole beans in the very near future now that I am beginning to see some small beans forming on my plants.

Adding Melons, Eggplants, and Peppers Into The Mix Under Fluorescent Lights

It was about time that I start planting some more seeds especially melons, eggplants, and peppers. These plants need to be started early with their long maturing process. I like to plant them before the month of April and the end of the month is right around the corner. (more…)

Roma Tomato Harvests May Be Stopping Very Soon

I still have Roma tomatoes to pick, but after today I am certain that there is not that many harvests these plants have left. I would say that the best fruit from these plants are done and with the largest harvest to date I would say this is the peak or end of my tomato season. (more…)

The End of Corn, But Still More Harvests to Come

So far I have picked plenty of cherry tomatoes, beans, and even corn over the past month. My corn is pretty much done for the season except for a couple of stragglers that will be harvested in the next couple of days or so. (more…)

Getting The First Steakhouse Tomato Harvest

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…)

Time Has Come for Tomatoes to Change Colors

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…)

Peppers are Now Ready Along With Cherry Tomatoes and Pickle Cucumbers

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…)

Today Was a Day Filled with New Harvests

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…)
