We have been digging up and eating bigger red La Soda and Sierra Gold potatoes for a few weeks now. Today I decided to dig up the rest. The purples (blues) are still a few weeks away from being ready. I've been getting this much grey zucchini every other day and this many cucumbers every 3-4 days. I harvested a couple of Ichiban eggplant yesterday, and onions are ready to go. I have been eating the few ripe tomatoes off the vine. None have made it to the house. I'll be harvesting green beans and some winter squash tomorrow. It's been a wierd, wierd year; my dill was done and harvested by this time last year. This year it's 3-4 inches tall and has already lost out to the sunflowers.

Wow! That is one fantastic harvest! Look at them taters! Know what I have at my house? A DEEP FRYER!
ReplyDeleteWe're probably a week or two away from digging out the taters. But, yeah, they're ready.
We don't have any cukes yet. What's your secret? That darn cat?
