Harvest Monday

eggplant

Welcome, once again, to Harvest Monday! This is an awesome blog hop sponsored by Daphne. Hop on over and say Hi and see what other gardeners around the world are harvesting from their gardens!

It was a really crazy week at work so I did not get many pictures of the harvest this week.

squash and tomatoes

Besides the eggplant, squash and tomatoes shown here, I did harvest more yellow wax beans, Kentucky Wonders, some of the Baby Blue Hubbard and Buttercup winter squash, along with some really nice bell peppers.

I also harvested a couple Amish Paste and Italian Heirloom tomatoes. While I am overrun with squash of all sorts, I have yet to experience a tomato glut. In fact, aside from the small salad tomatoes I haven't gotten enough to eat my fill fresh, let alone have any to can.

Sunday was a beautiful fall day, crisp and delicious in the morning, with an almost too warm afternoon. I spent most of the day working 'out back'.

I am working to tear down an old pallet fence, pull out the weed trees, patch the stone wall where I can or pull it out where it's too far gone, all to run some chainlink.







I will say the pallets have lasted well, considering that they were just wired together and have been sitting on the ground all this time. Besides that, the pallets in this area were also part of the compost bins.

There are still several good sized weed trees to pull out of here, but it was getting late and I was getting tired. Since I"m on call while the boss is on vacation and our county fair is next week I doubt I will get back to this project for awhile. Once I can get the piece of fence done, I'll work on cutting up all the old pallets for stove wood, especially as many of them are oak. That should greatly condense the mess back here.
