First Harvest Monday!

I recently joined Daphne's Dandelions Harvest Mondays, this is my first week participating, in total I have 11 Jalapenos, 5 peas, some green beans ( I harvested about that many each day this past week) 2 eight ball zuccs, 3 one ball squash, and 1 piccolo zucc. I also harvested a bunch of corn earlier this week. I will weigh and wash all this stuff when my hubby is done cleaning up his mess in the kitchen! We are already eating zucchini and squash 3-4 times a week, so I think the dogs will score on this harvest and I will make them whole wheat zucchini/squash dog cookies!

The rest of the garden is doing well even in this heat. The five little pea pods are the last on my poor pea plants. They are pretty much all brown and dead. Sad! Anthony has become chief surgeon on the zucchini and squash plants. We have found all SVB grubs and removed them (to put it nicely) and so far so good. I have never done surgery on the plants before but have read about success! Maybe next year I will be more proactive in preventing SVB.

Well that is all for now, rough day at work and I did break my rule of wine only after 5pm in my time zone and started at 4:58pm.

  2. Nice looking debut. I wish that I could have grown Jalapenos this year but I'll have to content myself with looking at other people's harvest. Nice squash.

  3. Congratulations on your first Harvest Monday! Today was my first, too. Maybe we can be Harvest Monday twins?? :) I like the contrast between your red tablecloth and your fresh produce. That Piccolo zucchini is stunning!

  6. Daphne's Dandelions group sounds fun...plus you get lots of comments! You continue to be and inspiration! Our Harvest Monday included pea pods w/butter and sage and bbq chicken in the crockpot using lemon balm, onions and bbq sauce and rootbeer that was not harvested from the garden! I'm trying to cook more with my herbs...some things are turning out pretty tasty and interesting!
