Harvest Monday, September 2, 2013

Welcome, I'm linking for the first time to Daphne's Harvest Monday.

I'm posting photos of several day's harvest.

August 24, tomatoes are still only a trickle, cucumbers are slowing down, here Eureka and North Carolina Pickle, pears, Harkness Delight, Rescue,-

Beans are most heirlooms, Uncle Steve's striped pole; Italian yellow Shrimp beans, Annelino Giallo;

Grandma Robert's Purple Pole; Super Marconi Romano Pole, Yer Fasulyasi Romano bush, a mystery light purplish pole; and Park's Speedy-

August 26, this is one of my big Cocozelle Italian striped squash, the biggest so far was 4.75 lb., over 2 Kilos.  Cucumbers are Tanja, Diva, and Eureka-

Beans, some are the early Pisarecka Zlutoluske heirloom yellow wax beans that are already dry, and a few dry heirloom Yer Fasulyasi Romano bush beans, most are the same as the above beans except some darker purple pencil bush beans from Park called Velour-

August 31, some yellow Crooknecks, so buttery and nutty flavored; finally an avalanche of tomatoes, I'm growing heirlooms from saved seed so results can be variable- Verna's Orange Oxheart; Black Sea Man; Napoli (not true to description); Heidi; Tegucigalpe; San Marzano; Gogosha, has been my heaviest yielder; local favorite Legend which is late blight resistant; new varieties I'm trying from the Sample Seed Shop, Orlovskie Versaki; Monkey Ass; Shapka Monomakha-

San Marzano-

I'm still getting pears, the early apples (Prince William below) are over, and later apples still to come.   

Blueberries start with early varieties in May, most of the midseason are about gone, but a couple of evergreen blueberries have been insanely loaded, sorry the photo is a little dark, they are Misty and Sunshine Blue.   Legacy had some.

Thanks for visiting me, Hannah
