Ripening Cherry Tomatoes Perfect for Harvesting

At last my cherry tomatoes are beginning to ripen and many of them are red enough to pick to make this the first harvest of 2016.  I think I could have picked them yesterday, but I wanted to give them another day so that I could pick both my cherry tomatoes and beans on the same day.

Most of my beans have been picked and all I am doing is going to be waiting for the new flowers to produce a new batch of pole beans.  This should take a couple of weeks or so and in the meantime I will be focusing on harvesting my cherry tomatoes. (more…)

Collecting More Pole Beans from Second Harvest

My first bean harvest which was about a week ago didn’t yield that many beans or as many as I thought I would get.  The second time I ended up getting many more including two full bowls of pole beans.

I have harvested more in other years, but I think that this is a good amount and is enough to start canning and storing them for the Winter.  The plants still are producing and I am sure that I will be harvesting more beans in the near future. (more…)

More Pole Beans the Second Time

The first time I pick beans is always small and sometimes the second time is just a little bit bigger.  That is what happened today when I went outside to take a look at my beans.  There were plenty that had reached the perfect size for eating.

Last year I had plenty of beans that I could can them for the Winter and they kept their amazing flavor.  Hopefully I am looking to do the same thing as long as I get many more beans throughout the season. (more…)
