So, this is what I picked the next day during my lunch break. three cucumbers, 12 peppers, both sweet green and yellow banana, 1 pie pumpkin, 1 lb. of broccolini (rapa), 1 lb. of spinach (vine type),
a cantaloupe, an eggplant, 12 tomatillos and another 10 or so tomatoes.
The squash bugs have devastated my zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkin and now cucumber plants. Buggers. There were thousands in the garden about two weeks ago. I planted mint and sprinkled organic dust, but too late. We'll have to make it through the winter with the 40 lbs.
we already harvested. Ha! Ha! Who could eat more in one winter? In the area where all the squash plants were, I will till and plant my fall batch of cauliflower and green beans.
I have to walk over to our satellite garden at Jim's next door to see what needs to be picked there. I also have to go check the rest of the grapes.
I did check the satellite garden. The squash still looks good there and I just picked two 2 lb. zucchini. I also picked another 10 lbs. of tomatoes and 2 large beets. As I swung on home I passed the grape vines and picked two more pounds of grapes. This weekend I will make my concord grape jelly, peach jam, from the peaches I picked on our tree and tonight I better make another batch of Tomatillo Salsa Verdi. Yummy!
