MORE HARVEST FROM THE VEGETABLE GARDEN….

Today I went out and took photos - and tomorrow or Sunday, I’ll actually harvest some of the following. Most beautiful is the zucchini:
.

These are squashes numbers 2 and 3, so far….and check out the second cucumber!
.

There’s a third one getting larger a lot higher on this vine, too.

Those of you who were laughing my earlier strawberry post because I only got one berry from my little plant need to take a look at “strawberry 2”:
.

We’ll see if a third one forms from the several flowers that the plant still has…..and wipe that smile off your face!!

The closest thing to a “real” harvest this year is going to be the basil….I already have frozen pesto, and will soon be making more. Check out my plants!!
.

I’ll cut that pretty soon, then put some in the crisper for tomato salad and sandwiches, and the rest will be turned into more pesto for winter. Yummy.

The most exciting harvest is still in question….we’ll need some cooperation from the weather to get these babies ripened:
.

These are “Sweet 100” cherry tomatoes, which I’ve grown before and like a lot. I’m really hoping that a combination of heat (88 degrees today), and frost protection from my plastic cover, will allow these to redden up so we can have “real tomatoes” grown right here in Bend.
