Soon to harvest cucumber

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.

Lettuce Done Now on to Summer Plants Such as Tomatoes, Corn, and More

Now it is time to transition into summer growing crops because the spring crops are done for the season for the most part. Lettuce plants are beginning to bolt, potato plants are still growing but are showing signs that they will soon be ready for harvesting, and peas are producing very little if at all. So far I have only harvested two zucchinis from my summer harvests, but soon I will be picking more vegetables and fruit from my summer plants.

Melons and Pumpkins Ready for Harvesting

With lower temperatures arriving and less sunlight in the daytime plants are beginning to finish off the season with the last production of fruit. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, and kale will continue through the fall and the rest will be done by the first frost of the season sometime in the near future. Right now I can still harvest some fruits and vegetables such as beans, pumpkins, and some melons that are done growing. (more…)

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…)

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…)

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…)

Blueberries

Getting a Little Bit More Blueberries From the Second Harvest

With spring crops ending with little left to pick it is time to move on to blueberries and other warmer weather crops. I am using a summer hybrid broccoli that is supposed to be able to withstand the warm hot summer temperatures. I plan on growing and harvesting them all season long making sure that they do not flower or go to seed. (more…)
