Harvesting the carrots

Vann and Aiden collecting the reward for all their hard work.
Wow! Look at how big the carrots are!  And the carrot tops weren't that big.
 



Carrots for dinner tonight. YUM!

6-25 Mike's Harvest

6-26 Jim's Harvest

Harvests from the Garden

The first of the summer vegetables are coming in -  Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of some of their recent harvests. I know of other pictures out there...some wonderful onion harvests, carrots galore, tons of lettuce.

Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchinis, beans, okra, potatoes, radishes, peas and carrots are starting to come in.

These two pictures are just some of what Mike and Sue have been harvesting recently.

Vann's grandson was very proud of the white carrot they pulled the other day. He was also a huge help when we spread mulch last Monday. We had to work very fast to keep up with him.

Alas for the peas, they are history until the fall. But they were very tasty until it got too hot. Mike,  I love the bowl they are in!

Jim already has okra  to go with his peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers!

Mark had two beautiful garlic bulbs. Awesomely huge ones!   John was so excited about his zucchini. He has been fighting the squash bugs to get them and his plant is doing good right now.

                                                                     
                             These are the potatoes Vann grew in her potato bag. They were gorgeous! Even with a late start she had some nice sized potatoes. I was quite envious of her harvest. Maybe next year I'll get an early start on a potato bag and have this many potatoes.

Sue has tons of onions and garlic to use now that they have all been harvested. And lots of room to put additional plants now that they are all out. Decisions, decisions!

Mark and his Gnome buddy have a nice harvest of cucumbers, tomatoes and beans. The beans are really coming along fast.

The Harvest is Coming in...

It has been fun watching the harvest come in and quite amazing to see how much food is being produced in each 4' by 8' bed.  When we have visitors at the garden everyone is very impressed with what we are growing.  More and more people are stopping by to see what we are doing. Just this past weekend I talked to 4 separate sets of visitors and I'm sure there were more when I wasn't there.

 

I wish I had taken a picture of Leah with her broccoli that she harvested this weekend. She was so excited about her first broccoli head that was ready to eat.  However, I do have a picture of Dalita and her broccoli harvest.

 

 

 Saturday Mike and Sue harvested their first carrot of the season.
