This might be the best week yet, and we haven’t gotten to tomatoes yet!
5 oz. Green Bell Pepper
A few oz. of Strawberries (most of which did not make it inside)
2.52 oz. Jalapeno Peppers
4 oz. Mint
4 oz. Basil
2 oz. Yardlong Beans
12 oz. Green Tomatoes (the container plants are all falling over and dropping fruit now, bah)
8 oz. Swiss Chard
1.5 lbs. Beet Greens
1 lb. Beets
1 oz. Pepperoncini (this is what I think the mystery pepper is)
Snow Peas for seed saving
There are still no blushing tomatoes out there. I am trying to be patient. The pot of Yardlong beans I planted last is growing like crazy. There have to be 50 beans growing out there right now! I have a lot of room open now, since i pulled all of the beets and the snow peas are coming out once the pods are fully dried. I am thinking of getting some more beets, peas, and maybe some mache in. It is so hot, though. I really should have another go at the broccoli and brussels sprouts, since the ones I have seem to be done for even though they never produced. Alas! Last year I couldn’t grow a beet to save my life, and this year I got a whole pound. More learning, more learning, more learning! I love it!
You can see other harvests over at Daphne’s Dandelion’s!

I forgot to take enough photos this week!

Boy, your beets look yummy. I need to plant some for the fall.
Thanks, Robin! Last year I tried to grow beets and got only the greens. This year I got some beets! I am going to try some more for Fall!
Oh, those beets look good. You say you learned from last year, making me wonder what you learned. I planted lots of beets and ate a lot of wonderful beet greens. But those little puple globes never developed. I haven’t a clue as to what i did wrong.
Congrats on your success with them. I think they’re one of my favorite veggies. Well, if you don’t count tomatoes, of course.
Nice harvest. We are growing the same beets. I can’t wait to pull them!
The summer tomatoes do push up the harvest, but even without them your harvest is looking good.
great harvest! i’m totally jealous that your yard long beans are ready for picking. i got mine in a little later than desired this year, so they are still fairly small. always a fun veggie to grow.
Those beets look great. And thanks for posting the picture of snow peas for next year’s planting. How long did you wait after their normal harvest time until they got brown and dry enough for you to harvest them for seeds?
Nice looking beets and I wish you a speedy reddening on your tomatoes too.
You did it! I went outside after work and there was a bit of not green!!! It may be my eyes playing tricks on me, however
Nice selection of produce! I notice you have some mint. I like mine, although this year it has turned brown. I am wondering if it won’t come back. Something that will kill mint??? Never heard of that.

Martha, the biggest beet lesson I got this year was – you can NEVER dig too deep or loosen the soil too much. It seems that thinning is a huge help too. Next year I hope for even bigger beets!
Lori, if you have found something to kill mint you should start marketing it right now, lol. We love ours, it came with the house, because we love mojitos. Honestly, I ignore the mint completely. It grows on its own and then I pick it.
