Salad..ie lettuce, radish, green onions, kale shoots, I have had 4 ripe tomatoes all from Micros , 2 ripe Long English cukes.I opened up one 5 gallon bucket of potatoes which harvested just over 4 pound,
All my red and black currants are picked and frozen, gooseberries not ready, ditto rasps. The cherries on a tree planted just last year were amazingly abundant but they are almost finished now, we had a great cherry cheesecake yesterday and probably have enough to make two more . |

Were they sweet cherries, Jeannine? Pie cherries are a lot easier to grow in my climate. We never have to do anything to the tree.

I'm excited for tonight I get to pick my first ripe tomatoes. Pearly Pink Orange. For those looking for a compact plant that gets loaded with fruit it is one to grow.
This is my first time to see and eat a really pink tomato. The tomatoes on the vine are so beautiful in the different shades turning from green to white to a pale pinky orange to pink that it almost a shame to pick them off the vine. I enjoy looking at them so much. |

Great yield on the potatoes too, Jeannine!
What variety of cherry is that and is it self-pollinating? |

Nothing, nada, zip, zilch, the big goose egg, rien, zero, ingenting. It's still way to early in Norway.

Pole beans Tomatoes, peppers, sweet onions, potatoes, and squash. Terrible year for tomatoes. I didn't have time to graft like I usually do, and sure enough, fusarium is dragging the plants down. Plus We just got 8 inches of rain as TS Colin moved thru.
Watermelon okra and sweet potatoes are coming along, but the spring was a bit on the cool side. Edit..forgot to mention..a few eggplants too. |
