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.

A quick Update on Progress of Garden Plants and Soon to be Harvesting

This is just going to be a quick update on how everything in the garden is going and what are some of the upcoming harvests that will be coming from the garden in the next couple of weeks. At the moment I have been picking zucchini here and there and are the only vegetable that seems to ripen faster than all the others. My lettuce and peas seem to be done for the season and I will be replacing them with broccoli and possibly kale.

It Looks Like The Peak of Tomato Season Has Arrived

I have been picking all of my tomatoes for the past month with the cherry tomato plants continuing to produce with flowers and tons of fruit. Last week I had picked over three hundred cherry tomatoes from just one harvest. I thought that was a lot until today when I happened to pick just under 500 of them! The funny thing is that there are still many plants out there with many more cherry tomatoes to pick. (more…)

Large Eggplant

A Couple Eggplants and Several Large Steakhouse Tomatoes

This past week has been more about tomatoes than anything else in the garden. I have been picking tons of cherry tomatoes, some Roma tomatoes that were made into sauce, and several steakhouse tomatoes that weigh about one pound or more each. I also picked the first two eggplants of the season along with some beans and a couple of cucumbers. Let’s take a look at all my garden produce harvested this week. (more…)

Steady Harvesting of All Tomato Types and Much More

It seems that it is about that time where harvesting becomes almost a daily venture. I would say that I have been picking all tomato types this week at least every other day. Most of my tomatoes are starting to turn and ripen along with beans and cucumbers. The large Roma and steakhouse tomatoes have finally started to bring in small harvests at the moment. Soon I will have plenty of Roma tomatoes to get some sauce going for winter storage. (more…)

Getting Ready for Some More Peppers and Cucumbers

I have been picking mostly cherry tomatoes this entire week since most of them are at the stage of ripening. They usually come rather quickly and are the first tomatoes to be picked and continued to be harvested throughout the season. Today I picked the first steakhouse tomato along with a couple of cucumbers and some broccoli. (more…)

Those Ears of Corn are Now Ripe Enough for Harvesting

That is correct most of my corn is now ready to be picked while others still need just a little bit more time. Today was actually the start of harvests from corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Now that most of my blueberries have been picked it is now time to focus on other fruits and vegetables that may be ready for harvesting. (more…)

Soon To Be Harvests of Many Vegetables From the Garden

For the past couple of weeks I have been picking blueberries until the season is over for them. At the moment there are still plenty of berries left even though I have picked over ten pounds of them from this year’s harvests. Soon there will be harvests from my corn, zucchini, tomatoes, and possibly pumpkins and melons. (more…)
