King Harvest - Mid-September 2010
Lately I've been trying to get out to the garden in the morning before I get going on work. It is nice and cool, there aren't many bugs and I can grab everything I can in 10-15 quick minutes. We're clearly entering the heavy harvest time as I'm pulling out 2 buckets of tomatoes/zuchs/eggplants/peppers/onions every day.
Here's today's harvest - which included many tomato varieties including German Johnson, Green Zebra, Mr. Stripey, Pineapple, Beefsteaks, Caspian Pink, Napa Grape, Red Cherry, and my favorite the Roma. Also are a few zucchinis, bell peppers, jalepenos, and a small onion. Some of them aren't perfectly ripe - and those were mostly the ones I either knocked off when picking ripe fruit or they were knocked off some other way and were on the ground. I figured I had to pick those up and let them ripen off the vine.
The timing couldn't be worse - because it is going to be tough to make the sauce and can it, but we're going to try!
