Still Harvesting

 Yesterday I went to the farm,

fully intending to tear out the tomatoes.

They are done.

But I forgot my clippers at the house.

So I just went down to check on everything.

I got FIVE good sized zucchini.

And a couple of nice yellow squash.

And an ENTIRE bucket of JUST sungold 

cherry tomatoes.

(And I didn't finish picking because my

bucket was full and I was hot... lol.)

And I didn't even touch the reds.

They are LOADED.

So I'll be heading out there in a bit.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day.

There are huge clusters of tomatoes everywhere.

And SWEET??? Oh my goodness!

We grew a variety of black cherry that we decided

we aren't going to grow again.

They are SLOW to ripen, and really watery and

just not really very good.

But they had some nice big ones, so I popped

one in my mouth.

Oh my goodness.

A whole different kind of sweet.

But totally yummy!

We may still not grow them again.

They take up a lot of space and are still really slow

to ripen, but I'll enjoy this harvest!

(I picked about a quarter bucket and there are

still more yet to ripen...)

Also got some nice lunchbox peppers and a 

couple nice big yellow bell peppers.

I'll add those to my frozen stash and get 

them in the freeze dryer when there are enough.

And the okra are STILL plugging away.

I got a full bucket of those as well.

I cut and dropped another bucket or two worth.

They were too big and woody.

It's been several busy days since we harvested last.

All in all, the garden is still doing well.

Gotta get out there earlier today than yesterday though.

It got HOT.

(And I have a presidency meeting at 1:30

at the President's house in North Hays...)

Enjoy your Thursday.

And maybe give a thought to the history of this day.

Where were you when the world stopped spinning?
