Monday Harvest

Happy 4th to everyone!  Well when it rains it pours some say and things have just been pouring our of the garden this week. I was able to pick more than I could use so canning has went in to full swing as well.  I canned over a gallon of tomatoes, 3 quarts of pickles, and the first quart of pickled okra.  This week I picked an amazing 16 lbs of tomatoes, 10 lbs of corn, 2.5 lbs of okra, 7 lbs of cucumbers, 4 lbs of summer squash, and 4 lbs of green beans.




Trying to sort everything.

Harvest Monday

It has been a great harvest this week.  I have been picking beans every other day, and pick 5 lbs this week, my first tomatoes were picked this week two I picked 7 tomatoes weighing in at 3 lbs. I also got to pick my first ears of corn which was 3 lbs. I pulled up 1.5 lbs of onions which became pearl onions after they were trampled by a rabbit and stopped growing.  My first okra was ready for picking this week too and I got 0.5 lbs but will soon have more than I can handle.  If you looked my garden pictures from earlier you may not see the okra, that's because I have two plots at my church community garden where I help run the community garden.


My two plots at the community garden, I have 4 rows of okra totaling about 18 ft between both plots and 20 tomato plants.
