I got so wrapped up in trying to get everything done before the rain I forgot to take a picture of the week's harvest before splitting it all up and handing it out to random neighbors, Jo, and whoever else would eat it.... another pound or so of beans, 4 more big eggplants, a couple smaller eggplants, half dozen bell peppers, a dozen jalapenos, 8 tomatoes, 2 and a half pounds of carrots, and a ton of the chocolate cherry tomatoes... yeah... a TON! (Jason is still amazed that there are only two plants and they grew from single tiny seeds!)
A few fun sights from around the garden this week:
FROM LEFT: One of the sweet red pepper plants LOADED with huge peppers... I can't wait for these guys to ripen up and throw them on the grill! The other plant is just as loaded. Some of these are about 8 inches long. CENTER: one of the beautiful okra blooms. The flowers are just amazing. I'd almost grow the plant for just the blooms alone. Did I mention that the okra plants in the the right bed are now almost 5' tall??? RIGHT: The horticultural mysteries continue... a two-legged carrot?? You can imagine the surprise when I pulled this guy up! The main root is about 6" long.
