Harvest Monday

carrots

Harvest Monday! Hop on over to Daphne's Dandelions to meet other gardeners from around the world!  Pickings have been a bit slim, with the lettuce going out and the summer crops not really producing much yet. I have picked a little bit of baby lettuce from two small patches, along with chard and Red Burgundy Amaranth. I found these carrots hiding in one of the beds, leftovers from the last batch I guess.

I also pulled a few small turnips, some of which looked more like carrots than turnips, not sure what is up with that, but just then the camera chose to malfunction, so no pic.

Princepe Borghese tomatoes

The Princepe Borghese tomatoes are getting big and about to start turning colors. The plants are really loaded with fruit. Since they are in containers this means I probably need to give them some fertilizer and some more compost.

eggplants & potatoes in pots

On the patio the eggplants and potatoes in pots are doing very well. I finally got my sun shade fixed and set up and it gives them some relief from the hot afternoon sun.

Recycle!

I do a lot of recycling. Here a Currant tomato grows in an old ice chest and climbs a trellis made from an expandable baby gate. This is just hooked on some nails from the eave of the house.

Tromboncinno squash

This Tromboncinno squash grows in the inner liner of a washing machine.









The peaches and plums are getting big

potato bed

The large potato bed out front is doing well. Hard to see here but the potato plants are beginning to put out some blossoms, which means that they are probably beginning to make potatoes. So very soon I will be eating new potatoes!

lavender rose

This pretty lavender rose is blooming out front. I'm sure I've saved the tag somewhere; I will have to hunt it up to know the name of it. I really need to get some permanent tags on some things, like the roses.
