It has been very busy this week especially with all new harvests of corn and cantaloupes.\u00a0 The cantaloupe was nearly by accident because I wanted to check out the connection between the melon and the vine and when I turned it over it just came right off.\u00a0 Good thing the melon was pretty much ready anyways.<\/p>\n

The other cantaloupe that I picked was coming off from the vine so I just decided on removing it since it was going to come done at any moment.\u00a0 No reason to leave it on the vine like that.<\/p>\n

Each cantaloupe weighed three pounds and were good sizes.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I did pick some corn and it was only one ear for now.\u00a0 There are plenty of ears out there that are probably real close or are actually ready for harvesting.\u00a0 I will have to go through the stalks and check each one to make sure that they do not stay out there if they are ready.\u00a0 I don’t want them to become overripe.<\/p>\n

Here I was cooking the first ear of corn of the season.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

I had it for lunch and it was really sweet and delicious.\u00a0 I can’t wait to pick plenty more of them.<\/p>\n

Not only did I pick some new vegetables and fruit today I also picked a boatload of tomatoes.\u00a0 This includes all three of Roma, steakhouse, and cherry tomatoes.<\/p>\n

I picked three containers of Roma tomatoes today and they weighed over 20 pounds!<\/p>\n

\"Cherry<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the first two containers of Roma tomatoes along with seven pounds of cherry ones.<\/p>\n

\"Third<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the last container of Romas that were harvested today.\u00a0 I also did pick some steakhouse tomatoes as well.\u00a0 They are not as big as they should have been, but I can still use them nonetheless.<\/p>\n

\"Steakhouse<\/a><\/p>\n

I also got some more cucumbers today and one zucchini.<\/p>\n

\"Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Good sized cucumbers that can be used for some relish or just for cutting into slices.<\/p>\n

\"Four<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what I like to call the second tier zucchini.\u00a0 I had a first tier which ended early in the month and the plants started coming back by producing new leaves, flowers, and vegetables.\u00a0 Now I should be getting more of them in this second harvest.\u00a0 This is the first one for now and more are on the way.<\/p>\n

I also may be getting another watermelon on the way from the second plant in the garden.\u00a0 I had planted this seed later in the garden and didn’t think that it would get to the stage of producing flowers and fruits.\u00a0 I just discovered a fruit on the vine that might lead to another watermelon for the season.<\/p>\n

\"Start<\/a><\/p>\n

I will have to watch this fruit closely and if it starts getting bigger each day then that will mean I will be possibly getting another watermelon.\u00a0 I can only hope that the bees around pollinated this fruit.<\/p>\n

The other thing is I still have pole beans to pick which probably could have been done today, but I wanted to wait another day to get some really big beans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
