This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

a week of harvests
This is my harvest this week. I picked the last of my green tomatoes, peppers and chiles today. And I picked a bunch of pretty little yellow signet marigolds and fleabane (weed) flowers. I have been regularly pulling escarole, red lettuce, arugula, beets and still-way-too-many-radishes. I had enough to give my parents a nice bag of storage potatoes, onions, a giant Brandywine tomato, radish and some greens. I also picked two more birdhouse gourds to total five this year.

Nice hall.
ReplyDeleteWhat can you do with the green tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteOh I love your gourds! Their shapes are so varied- they look almost whimsical sitting on your steps.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are still getting good harvests. Nice bunch of peppers & chilies, I have to grow more varieties next year. Do you have any luck with bell peppers? Mine didn't want to turn colour or get thick & juicy like the ones from the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Do I smell green fried tomatoes for dinner? Maybe a green tomato piccalilli with baked beans? Happy cooking!
