Fall harvest in July
I spent several hours at the farm yesterday in an attempt to tackle the weeds. At least to the point that I could find my plants.
I raided Ms. M's garden for 19 cucumbers of which I will be making lots of bread and pickles.
7.75 lbs of potatoes
almost 3 lbs of onions
1.35 lbs of beans
AND
TWO PUMPKINS!!!
IN JULY!!!
The pumpkin plants were on their last leg and all I had to do was touch the pumpkins for them to fall off. Can you believe that they are ready...IN JULY!!!
I showed Wilson last night and his comment was "We have had really weird weather this year."
I have to agree. Otherwise, why would I have these cutie pies already?!?
wow...that is neat. i have pumpkins growing, but some are just little babies still. However, my tomatoes have started to turn, so that will keep me busy. I picked two baskets full yesterday. Salsa this weekend! I am going to do a blog post on my haul today. I also need to harvest some potatoes. Way to go on your harvest!
It was definitely weird weather this summer! Very strange indeed!
weird weather indeed! What a haul you brought back from the farm! I'm looking forward to pulling my potatoes soon. Your look tasty!
@Laura, we have eaten about 1/2 of the load shown here since I have posted this. Yes, they were absolutly delicious however the skins were not thick enough for storage.
@GardenMom, I have a LOT of pumpkins not ready. These were a freak of nature. :) I have a few tomatoes here and there as well. I think it is exciting to find one that has been hiding. I can't wait for my heirlooms to turn!
