I haven’t harvested much this season at the moment, but there are many more things that are getting ready for harvest time. Tomatoes are producing flowers, beans are climbing the ropes, lettuce is flourishing, and broccoli is next on the list. It is almost the peak of garden season and in about a month I should be harvesting the bulk of the fruits of my labor. (more…)
Yesterday was a good day to get started planting my tomato seeds and hopefully some others as well. I did get all my tomato seeds planted in the usual containers that I use every season. Like all the other seasons I stuck with the tomatoes that worked: cherry, Roma, and steakhouse (beefsteak). (more…)
So far the real cool weather has not arrived and that means that I should still see production from some of the plants that are still left. For instance my beans are producing another set of beans and I should have a larger harvest than what was displayed today. (more…)
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…)
A quick update on what has been going on in the garden including all the Roma tomatoes I have been picking over the past couple of weeks. Some melons that are looking close to picking, steakhouse tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, peppers, and so much more. (more…)
Now that it is towards the end of the summer season it is time to start harvesting and making meals out of my fruits and vegetables. Tomorrow my Roma tomatoes will be made into sauce while my larger steakhouse ones will be sliced up and placed into sandwiches. (more…)
I have just started harvesting a few Romas here and there, but no significantly large harvest just yet. I think within the next couple of weeks I should begin picking many of them at one time and get started on making some delicious sauces out of them. (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 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…)
It looks like the season is coming to an end with not many fruits and vegetables left to pick. I have a couple of eggplants, peppers, and some tomatoes still growing, but for the most part it is pretty much done for 2016.
The good news is that I have a fall harvest of broccoli, kale, and cabbage to look forward to. I also still have three watermelons in the garden that are going to need to be harvested real soon as well. I would guess that I will be picking them sometime this month at the latest hopefully. (more…)
