I think I've hit the peak of harvests now. It will decline fast. So while I'm happy at the moment I know that it won't last long.
For instance? In the last 48 hours my zucchini plants when from having one green worm boring into it - to a complete infestation. the blossoms now have worms, the leaf stems have worms, the baby zucchini have worms. I do not have worms, but I do have a bad attitude. I knew it was coming, but I'm just NOT happy about it. If Mr. Giant corporation can come out with super germ warfare why can't it come out with a zucchini plant that fights back? LOL. Then again, as big as those plants get? Maybe having them fight back isn't such a good idea. What would happen if they decided they wanted to keep their bounty? That wouldn't be a pretty picture!
OK - On to serious matters. This weeks harvest!
Zucchini, Beans bush and pole, carrots, cucumbers, eggs (of course!) strawberries - but most get eaten in the garden because we only get a couple a day and a leek.
Oh, and that is 6.2 ounces of mint y'all! I made a few drinks this week that needed mint. Some hot tea, and some cold drinks. I'm weird. I really like cold mint. But I prefer it in my chocolate. LOL.
This weekend saw phase 1 of the big major project done. I"ll share here in a day or two. I also have a couple lovely recipes to share this week with some recent harvests. But, for now I'm late posting this so...
See you soon!

You have a full blown summer harvest going on! I have a ways to go before I get all that! Can't wait though! Yours looks super good!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Everything grows so fast once the heat sets in, I'm sure your harvests are not too far behind!
DeleteGreat harvests this week! It's strange to think about your season coming to an end while we're just gearing up! It's always funny to see how different growing areas are!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the things I love about Harvest Monday - Getting a glimpse into the lives of other gardeners is such a joy. :-)
DeleteGosh, we've barely started up here and you're already peaking?! Funny how there are all of these jokes about over-productive zucchini, yet we miss them when they're gone...
ReplyDeleteWe definately miss them when they are gone. I always try to keep only 2 plants going at the same time. That way I'm not completely glutton with them. We can usually handle that between us 5 and other close family and neighbors. Besides I have the AWESOME thing I do... off to post!
