I’m really enjoying my garden. Especially the tomatoes. We have so many and I have played around with things to do to use the tomatoes up before they rot.
I have made real, from scratch, spaghetti sauce. I have sliced the tomatoes, placed fresh basil with olive oil on them and topped this with thinly sliced mozzarella cheese and broiled it. We’ve chopped them and put them into sandwiches. You name it, we have added tomatoes to it.
Am I sick of tomatoes? No. I love them. Especially home grown ones.
The Butternut squash is flourishing! We will have many very large squash to store for the winter. Butternut squash are one of my favorites, so this makes me exceptionally happy!
The corn will be ready to eat in about a week. We probably have 2-3 dozen ears of that.
Hubby had over 200 pounds of peaches from our Reliance Peach tree. Yes a truly banner year for peaches.
Even the cucumbers are doing well. I can see another batch of Moon Glow pickles coming up.
The only thing that hasn’t thrived are the Eggplant, and I suspect that I started them too late. Next year I will start them inside and early. Very early. What I would not give to grow my own eggplant!
Yes, I love this time of year. Harvest time. I love eating the fresh vegetables and it’s about this time of year when I begin to plan my next garden.
Next year I will be doing…
oooh, a picture please! My tomatoes are JUST starting to turn red!
Yes!! A picture of all your lovely garden veggies, so I can drool. :x)
It sounds amazing…and yummy!!
Sounds like a bumper crop year 🙂
You must have a green thumb ! I don’t have any and not room enough to let vegetable grow. We only have grass and bushes around and that’s it. Vegetables are very expensive in Belgium due to this awful cold and rainy summer. If you want to eat red tomatoes they are from Italy !
Hi Mom,
Hope you have a great day! Glad we got to catch up again this morning!
Love you,
Mandy
