Here are the tomatoes I just picked, I will have to make sauce again, the large tomatoes are really ripening fast now-
Cucumbers Eureka, Diva, and Tanja. Sometimes I don't look carefully enough and the sneaky cucumbers are hiding at the base and getting humungous.
A few Uncle Steve's pole beans, they are excellent and stringless. I didn't get out early enough to pick many beans today.
Glenora seedless grapes, they conveniently rooted a plant right behind my bean trellis so I can see the many bunches of grapes just hanging there. Most of my grapes have become a jungle.
Wow...they look wonderful and delicious!

Thanks, it's great to get most of our fruits and vegetables from the garden for a while.
ReplyDeleteHärlia, underbara bilder! Så gott och nyttigt att få skörda egna grönsaker och frukter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Birgitta, I'm mostly an edible gardener at heart.
DeleteYum! You've got quite a harvest there! I'm kicking myself for not growing tomatoes this year but there's always next summer, right?
ReplyDeleteA wonderful harvest!
ReplyDeleteLovely grapes, but the birds, squirrels, and raccoons would eat them all here before I had a chance to get any. My tomatoes are just about finished. Still getting lots of okra. There may be one more picking on the pole beans. About ten days ago I planted lettuce seeds - they are coming up - Hurrah!
We had to take my computer to the shop yesterday. I'm using the laptop, but all my photos are on the other computer. The computer guy seemed to think he could save all my stuff and get the computer back in operation in a few days, hopefully by Friday.
Have a wonderful week!

Actually ants and wasps are what interfere with my grape crop. I have birds but they are don't do a lot of damage here. I planted a LOT of nut trees here and I think that is what saves my fruit crops, until late in the season when the nuts run out. But I don't get any nuts. It's a trade-off. My tomatoes are actually only getting started, they will be limited by whether they get late blight from rain or get frosted. A few years I built pvc and plastic houses over them to keep them going longer and it works but takes a lot of work. Some of my beans are winding down but I planted some peas and short-season beans that I hope will still yield this fall, as well as my greens bed that will go all fall and then give me early spring greens. I haven't done well with lettuce much so don't really try. Sorry to hear about your computer troubles, I had that happen and try to back up files or burn photos onto CD's. My laptop overheated and fried all the files, but my computer programmer son managed to get them back.
DeleteA great looking harvest!! Love those colorful beans!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they are heirlooms but they look somewhat like Italian shrimp beans, Stortino di Trento,

Glorious GLORIOUS Produce!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. I hope we have nice weather to keep getting them for a while.
DeleteWow, you are getting great crops from your veggie garden! Mine started off beautifully, but then fell apart later in the summer. I did get several heads of radicchio though, which was wonderful, because you really can't buy it here.
ReplyDeleteIt seems every area has its gardening strengths and weaknesses. Some people grow all the things that won't grow for me. I just learn a little more with each growing season, or try to. I haven't ever succeeded with radicchio, for example.
DeleteBeautiful harvest! Especially those grapes. My yard was full of grape vines when we moved in, but I wanted a vegetable garden so I gave them away. I wish I had saved at least one!
ReplyDeleteYou should see my grape vines, they are a jungle. These grapes are the only ones easy to see and pick. They are great, seedless.
DeleteGreat harvest! Looks a lot like ours, exceptforthegrapes. Even the variety of tomatoes you grew look the same as ours.
ReplyDeleteI guess it must be a case of great minds thinking alike.;-)
DeleteI cant wait for summer in the Southern Hemisphere so I can grow these crops again... bring it on!
ReplyDeleteWe are heading into fall, so I guess you are heading into spring.... are you starting tomatoes now? I would be excited to be growing seedlings again. Do you have mild enough winters to grow cool season vegetables then? I can overwinter some things here and have early spring greens, yum.
DeleteHome grown food - noting better!
ReplyDeleteI dispair of the government that we now have - but take heart that 60% of people voted for somebody else! There will always be another election!

Better luck in the next election. I suppose you must also be heading into spring, happy growing!
DeleteI love the variety of your harvest and all those yummy colorful tomatoes.
