| a days harvest |
Well I've had some good harvests this week but I was not very good about taking pictures! But this was typical, eggplant, squash and tomatoes are the major items coming out of the garden right now.

| Florence Red Bottle onions |
In the meantime there are many other things going on; trying to get things tidied up and fall crops planted, the new chicken coop and pen built. You can see a garden tour in this post and the new mobile chicken coop in this one.
I've also been busy trying to get all my production data entered into a spread sheet. When I'm caught up to date I'll be revamping my harvest records here.
Nice harvest - lovely onions! Is the crocked one in the first picture a squash or a cucumber? my aubergines are far from ready yet, but I lokk forward to them! Have a great week! :) Mia
ReplyDeletethat's a Tromboncinno squash.
DeleteVery nice harvest! Love your twisty squash and eggplants :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful onions! I didn't get a good crop of onions this year...odd, too...the leeks were fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLots of onions you harvested. Beautiful collecttion of produce.
ReplyDeleteI wish we'd get some rain! I am boggled at the squash on the roof--and envious. A great week for you!
ReplyDeleteNice eggplants. I was thinking of trying Trombocino next year, but since you are picking these off the porch roof, maybe I am naive in thinking I can contain it to a 5 foot trellis? Is the taste worth trying?
ReplyDeletefor comparison, my house, at the eaves is only about 6 feet tall. But these vines are running 15-20 feet and more from their roots. You could let them run on the ground if you have the space, but they will probably all be curly. I have to admit that I do not discern much difference in taste between different kinds of summer squash; more differences in texture. They have the firmer, drier texture of patty pans, rather than the wateryness of zuchinni. I'm waiting to try them out as winter squash. The seeds are in the bulby end, the rest is solid meat. I'm hoping that they are going to be at least a bit like butternuts.
DeleteBeautiful harvest.
ReplyDeleteNice harvest. My warm weather veggies are slowly coming in. Looks like yours are going strong!
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI'm using the same spreadsheet for tracking harvest as for planning. I created a second sheet then made the first & second columns on sheet 2 the same as sheet 1 (Sheet2,cell a4 contains ='Sheet1'.B4 ) This gets all the names from sheet 1 on to sheet 2. Then I use a column for each week.
So far its working.
I can see that working. I have a couple of ideas, but at least for the moment I have the spread sheet doing the math, so that helps. I'm thinking about what is the most important information I want, besides totals amounts; Don't know about doing a week in a column, will have to think about that...
DeleteVery nice harvest this week. I was also very bad about photos this week! Must be something in the air.
ReplyDeleteI love your curly squash!
ReplyDeleteI guess I won't be growing Trombocino if it grows up the roof. It would take over our little yard! lol Nice harvest this past week! Nancy
ReplyDeleteThose eggplants look good. What is that green corkscrew thing?
ReplyDeleteThat is a Tromboncinno, an Italian squash that can be eaten like summer squash while the skin is tender, or left to ripen and get a hard skin like winter squash.
DeleteI love those eggplant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful harvest and nice mix of summer squash varieties. I will have to go check out your garden update too. :D
ReplyDeletethanks everyone; the green corkscrew is a Tromboncinno squash; if they hang from from the trellis they grow long and straight, otherwise they grow curly.
ReplyDeletegreat update - lots of amazing things you are growing!
