This weeks harvest? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I took the tally - but left it sitting on the kitchen counter.
I'm thinking me and weighing my prizes isn't going over so well. LOL. Oh, I started with good intentions. I did. I just have some of the worst follow through. Maybe I'd be better off to just keep it on paper. So far that is what is actually get kept track of. Then again it doesn't get added together unless I bring it to my own attention and post the total here. Such a catch 22.
The first ear of corn came in. Oh - YUM. I wish it was easier to grow good corn here. What I believe is the last of the broccoli and carrots are here. More zucchini, cucumbers, carrots, Cilantro, peaches, blueberries, green beans and kidney beans 
So a very diverse picking this week. It won't be so diverse next week. The carrots are gone, and I've left a stalk of broccoli to flower hoping to attract some bees or wasps, or anything that flies that can pollinate.
The weather has been wild this week and believe it or not cool. But the crazy winds have taken out all my sunflowers and most of my beans, and corn. Some of my tomatoes stalks are broken and citrus pups are falling. Usually our wild storms are late summer and after the larger less sturdy plants have produced their finest crops. So it was quite a shock to find my peppers snapped in half and all the damage done in the last few days.
The rare tree sale was a good time, though I missed meeting up with a comrade and wished for a bigger budget while I was there. This week is the middle of the month so stay tuned for my mid month update!
'Till next time!

I think your harvest is awesome! Sorry to hear the winds have wrecked such havoc in your garden! We're getting weird cold weather here in *sunny* California. I still haven't planted my corn and beans!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how good that corn, carrots and fruit look to those of us who are only growing and eating "green" right now? Oh, dear, my stomach can't hardly wait!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice mix of goodies you harvested! Sorry to hear about the winds. They are always hard on the plants.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Your harvest looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI so love the diverse harvest this week. As Granny said those of us farther north are getting green, green, and greens. Eventually I'll get peas, but then they are green too lol. My kohlrabi might be purple, but it is still an honorary green.
ReplyDeleteI am with Annie's Granny - all of that produce looks delicious to those of us confined mostly to salads and other greens at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAG what about those of us who haven't even tilled their gardens yet and are still waiting to even plant. Especially the fruit that won't even grow here. So Barb lets see those tallies increase.
ReplyDeleteIs that a tomato? I've forgotten what they look like just picked. You are way ahead of me here in MD.
ReplyDeleteI like your interesting looking carrot. Congratulation on your first sweet corn. It is hard in our region to grow proper sweet corn too. Instead of planting them in early spring, we sow them end summer or early autumn. So many variety of veggie and fruit in your garden.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're at good month ahead of us in harvest types. I can't wait for the first tomato! I'm sorry to hear about the wind damage, especially on crops that are hard to re-plant and get a decent harvest from before it turns cold :(
