| eggplant, Lemon Spice and other peppers |
There were some eggplants along with Lemon Spice jalapeno and a couple of other peppers. Totals are down because it's been hot and dry and I just haven't been able to get out and water like they need it.

| Cucuzzi |
Still lots of cucuzzi and the vines are still going crazy. Some folks at market are adventerous and giving them a try. Leftovers go to a friend with pigs, she says they love them. Just over 6 pounds. I'm wondering if I missed some.

| colored eggs |
Still just getting about 7-8 eggs a day mostly from the new pullets. Giving serious thought to hatching the bigger blue ones from a couple of Legbar hens. Chicks that hatch now will begin laying in spring and will lay well most of the summer and fall when the older birds quit to molt. I just don't know if I have the time and energy....
Thanks for visiting and be sure to check out what other folks, in other parts of the world are harvesting too.
I agree with your comment on Happy Acres blog. My winter garden is also the most productive and requires the least amount of water. We always hope for rain. There's less pest pressure too. Fewer weeds.
ReplyDeleteyes winter is really the best growing season in the desert I just can't seem to get enough time to get anything planted yet though!
DeleteIT's been a few years since I grew cucuzzi and as I recall the vines were vigorous and prolific. Maybe I need to try it again.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you need any seeds! There are a couple huge gourds out there, I'll probably have enough seed to supply half the country! All the ones I didn't sell at market went to my friends pigs and they love them
