Today's Harvest


Today's Harvest.


The ruler on the right to measure the long beans. 

The longest one (the one that curls in at the bottom of the picture) is 21 inches long.


From the top: Thai Long Beans

Middle Row from Left: Zuke, 6 mystery cukes, 2 Telegraph Improved Cukes

Bottom from Left: Basil (Holy and Siam Queen Mixed), White currant Tomatoes, Rattlesnake Beans (shelled).

Most of the tomatoes are eaten before they come in the house.

They're small and tasty.

And for those of you interested, the wooden tray that is holding the veggies is a new multi-purpose tray.

I bought it for Leif's Montessori activities, but it serves multiple duties in addition: holding fruit and vegs (as you can see), and also can be a serving platter for parties (since we have so many of those, y'know!)


And Leif, happy with the harvest (he helps me in the garden most mornings!)

Last night, I started planning my Winter Garden.

Yesterday, I planted more rattlesnake beans, too.

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to gardening! :)

  2. I want more and more garden, but I haint' got the energies to tame your grass garden, nohowz! ;) I don't think even superman does!

    I'm ver' pleased with how much we've gotten from the garden thus far, but as always, wishin' it could be more :)

    That pic was just too bright and over the top, so I paled those colors away.

  3. Was that to be sung to the tune of "Addicted to Love"?
