Todays' Harvest

westocast73 · August 3, 2006

Well for those who haven't read in my previous posts I am a 23 year old trying to kick the fast food/restraunt habit so I decided to build a veggie garden. This is my first year with any type of Veggies ( done flowers for awhile ) and for whatever reason I got sucked into tomatoes so I am growing 14 types this year. It and onions take up a huge chunk of my garden. Well I have been eating fresh Veggies all spring already and have already completed my first crop rotation in some areas! Well today was my first day of a real well rounded harvest.

It includes the last of the Green Onions. Swiss Chard , Beans ( Have twice as many in the fridge from day before ) One hot pepper , 2 Bells which join the 3 from two days ago ( picking the first of the 5 plants when they are big and green) 2 Miracle Sweet Tomatoes ( Hybrid I know I have much to learn

) 1 Pondeorsa , 1 Lemon Boy ( Hybrid 3 Hybrids total and 11 Heirlooms so dont kill me!

) 1 Tigerella.

I must say the satisifaction of harvesting your own Veggies has made me a convert for life. The taste is also amazing but just the pride factor does it for me ( I am a man what do you expect...).

Well here is the picture.
