Well, we missed Harvest Monday last week again, but we have been utilizing the garden! And of course I have no recollection of where I recorded the weights. We had a nice variety of things from the garden.
 |
| Scarlett Runner Beans |
Favas were a last minute addition to our al fresco dinner one night, it is so nice to be able to step out the door and pick what I need to get some vegetables for dinner.
 |
| Fava Beans - I can't believe they are still going strong. |
I think I did a bad, bad thing. I enjoyed our stuffed zucchini dinner last month, but the giant zucchini was from my girl friend's garden, so i decided to try my hand at growing a "big boy". We have 2, from 2 plants, but now the plants are pretty sad looking. And we haven't had a single additional zucchini from either plant in a while. Good thing we have 1 more plant! One came in at 4 pounds 15 oz and the other at 3 pounds 13 oz.
 |
| Pickles, Japanese eggplant, Super Sweet 100's, Cherokee Purple tomatoes, and 2 mammoth zucchinis |
We also harvested some pickle fixings. All from the garden. Now I have to try and get a recipe that I like. Trial and error period starts.
 |
Home grown cukes, grape leaves (pilfered from neighbor, but growing on my
side of the fence!), dill, jalapeno, and garlic = YUM. |
 |
| Finished product. |
And some more yummy yummy goodness.
 |
| More Scarlett Runner Beans, SS 100's, cukes, and my first Yellow Pear tomatoes.... and my first FIG of the year! |
So visit
Daphne's Dandelions to see what people are harvesting! Happy gardening all!
