Garden Update - August 06, 2012


The garden is starting to produce nicely! :) I have been harvesting bush beans, jalapeno, pepperoncini and bell peppers, scalloped squash and Ronde de Nice French heirloom zucchini, cherry and yellow pear tomatoes, and strawberries. The cantaloupe are growing nicely and one of the Kakai pumpkins has started to turn. The only fruit I am going to get from the trees this year is Kieffer pears and they are doing well too. The big tomatoes are all still green but I noticed one starting to blush today! YAY!! I'm still hoping for enough tomatoes to can and make into tomato sauce this year. So far, it looks as though that will happen.
Linking up with The Country Garden Showcase and Mosaic Monday.

  3. I'm curious what you do with all your peppers...do you dry them? Can them? I planted some hot peppers this year to use in my salsa, but they're already turning red, and I don't have enough tomatoes yet to make my salsa!

  7. Everything looks wonderful! I am so jealous. My green beans are beautiful plants, have blossoms, and not a single bean. I think it's just our horrid weather.

  10. Oh Candy, your bounty looks so good. Glad you are having a good year. We lost all but two of our zucchini to squash bugs. Hard as I try, they got ahead of me this year.

  14. The thrill (and exhaustion to follow) of harvesting is coming! My tomatoes aren't red (except Early Girl) either, but showing promise. We aren't having any tree fruit this year either, except MAYBE one or two apples; oh well. Enjoy your garden blessings!

  15. Nothing tastes any better than veggies and fruits home grown...this is the time of year, that I wish I had more sunshine and less shade~

  16. Your produce looks so good. This has been a bumper year in the garden for most crops for us. :)
