HARVEST TIME

 Its that time of year when your crops seem to produce the heaviest. In the beginning with all the rain in June I thought no chance of a successful season. Beans did overwhelm us. Had to open the garden up to extra pickers. Still a lot were tossed into the compost pile for the animals to eat. Have to pick when ready not when you have time. It was a good crop and the FRENCH FILLETS  were very tasty.On the other side of the garden the CUCUMBERS  came up short. Had enough to eat but the give away was just not there. Onions did good both red and yellow but the POTATOES suffered from the wet ground. CARROTS are still in the ground and the POPCORN looks like its starting to dry. As for  TOMATOES  I can say we did okay but no giveaways there either. Many different varieties so one offset the other. Now for my favorite crop the PEPPERS six varieties six colors. With these warm days and cool nights they seem to do their best. Picked a load of them Monday and made stuffed peppers for the whole family. Quite a chore but well worth my trouble. Looks good all the colors together. Picked today and made salsa and ones just to eat raw.  Only a few PUMPKIN plants but nine nice pumpkins.

 As I figure the garden was 50 percent this year. Kept me busy and I was able to start all my plants in the greenhouse.
