This weekend was a good time to get some more fruits and vegetables from the garden. This Friday it rained pretty well and many of my plants needed it. After a rain is a good time to start picking as much as possible. Luckily I had plenty of vegetables that needed to be harvested and that is what I did between yesterday and today. (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…)
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…)
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…)
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 has been quite awhile since I wrote my last blog post, but weather has not been cooperating and many things needed to be completed before the month of June. In this post I will fill you in on what has been going on including some updates on my plants. (more…)
For the past couple of days I have been focusing on getting all my transplants into the garden including peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, pickle cucumbers, and the last of my honeydew melons. I also needed to plant at least one row of carrot seeds. (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…)
It looks like most of my garden plants are winding down and no longer producing any more flowers or fruits. My tomatoes are probably the last plants that are still growing fruit and I think I have just a few more harvests from them.
My bean plants are pretty much done for the season and today I just picked the last large harvest of pole beans. It wasn’t as big as past years, but it is definitely a good amount to store over the winter. (more…)
