The garden this year was 'OK' (not the best nor is it the worst). The weather this spring was pretty weird to say the least, so it is nothing like last year. Onions did fantastic, while the cukes, eggplants, squash, green beans, peppers, etc were about 'average'. The tomatoes were below our norm in terms of weight...

I just finished cleaning the garden out, as the temps here are close to 100 degrees daily. Only thing left is peppers, okra, eggplant & melons.

0_o Everyone has a lot of veggies!
I've only gotten tomato's this year so far. (Happy about that actually since I didn't get any last year.)

The cherry tomato's look yellow in the picture but their actually bright orange! Delicious too! I wonder if I have enough to make a sauce...

 

[the1honeycomb]

WOW!! you got quite a nice haul!! It looks like your at a farmers market do you sell your harvests? I barely get enough to can for the winter! need to triple my garden size!!

 

[whistech]

Northernfox, I enjoyed your video and it looks like you will have quite a harvest. Beautiful garden, by the way!

Mr. Ranch, that is quite a haul! I wish my onions and bell peppers got that big. I have to ask, what kind of red potatoes are those? And I'm really envious of your pears!

 

[whistech]

Royah, those are beautiful tomatoes! What variety are the large tomatoes?

I have to ask, what kind of red potatoes are those? And I'm really envious of your pears!

The potatoes are 'Red Pontiacs'. They has always been my main crop potato. Large size, great for all uses overall (although not the best for fries, they are a little moist and don't brown as well as a russet).

The pears are Kieffer pears. They are not considered an eating pear due to its firmness, the fruit is excellent when used in preserves or pies. This variety is extremely resistant to fireblight.

truthfully I cant remember! lol But I'm pretty sure they were from my early girl or better bush. I have a lot of verities.

Well I canned 8 quarts of tomatoes, 6 quarts of sauce. 7 pints of salsa. 5 quarts of corn and will be making Blackberry jam have enough for 3 batches!!
