From our garden....

Now that the summer is coming to an end, BOOOO, it also means that it's beginning to be harvest time for a lot of our vegetables from the garden.
So I thought I'd post a few pics of the things we just pulled out of the garden.

First up:
Cucumbers of various sizes. Mirinda is making pickles out of these babies!

Next:
These are red, white and blue potatoes! They'll make for some yummy "patriotic fries" which are far more delicious than those "other fries". ;-)


As you may know Mirinda and I love color so it should come as no surprise to see such lovely crook neck squash and Anaheim peppers...


We've also had some yummy corn, some red onions, tomatoes(most of which are still ripening), some carrots, green beans, a few radishes and three types of lettuces. Our mint plant is doing well too, it has provided us with some yummy for mint for some yummy mojotos!
We also have a huge crop of tomatillos that are still growing as well as a small crop of pimentos.
We've had a few items that didn't do so well, a couple of squares of onions were over taken in a big way by out squash, and tomatillos, as well as the beets we planted. We also planted some bell peppers that were also overtaken by our tomatoes.
Even though this has been our second year doing this, it has been a far more productive year than last. I think we've learned a lot this year, like what to plant and not to plant as far as space goes. The crook neck squash takes up A LOT of space as well as the tomatillos and potatoes.
Tomatoes do too, but they are fairly easy to control by pruning them to grow up.

That's all for now!
