It was my first year to harvest a full meal of asparagus. My best year for bok choi, beans, eggplants and cucumbers. And a fantastic year for popcorn and pears. The potatoes, peppers, squash and raspberries were good. I wonder what 2015 will bring.

2014 harvests
What a year. Now I remember why I was busy! I love to look back and remember the harvests.

Love love your harvest pics!
ReplyDeleteAll looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool way to visually show a year's harvest - what is possible.
ReplyDeleteI have hard time knowing how much to plant - generally err on the side of planting way too much . Like 50-60 tomatoes and 40 peppers.
Or a crop fails, yielding nearly nothing.
Wow, 50-60 tomatoes! You must have a huge garden! I try to plant a bit of everything, then I don't get too upset about crop failures - like my failed tomatoes (and failed sweet potatoes) this year. Although looking back at the pictures, I did get a bunch of tomatoes. I had 24 plants. Probably got the about or tomatoes normally produced by 5 or 6 plants. (Except for those out-of-control cherry toms at my community plot... I have one crazy plant. I stopped photographing the harvest as I was picking a bucket full once a week. I gave a gallon or so away to a shelter on a particularly heavy harvest day. Can't complain - I'll put in a Jaspar cherry in the plot again this year.)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to summarize a year of harvests!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteOn my new computer screen the reds and greens look way too saturated, too bright. It looked perfect on my old screen. I think I'll leave it this way, but I'll adjust my future photos to be less saturated. I suppose everyone's screen is a bit different, so there's no "right" way for photos to look.
Too many tomatoes and way too much rain = wet conditions and blight. So Jasper was your insanely productive cherry - I'll look for seed . . .
