Truly A Harvest Season

The Harvest:

Roma Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes
Brandywine Tomatoes
Green Tomatoes
Eggplants , suprising. They slowed down and then picked up production again.
Bell Peppers
Marconi Peppers
Jalapeno Peppers
The cayenne's we are waiting to turn red, and man they are loaded with 6 -8 inch fruits!
Tobascos are forming, "stave off, Frost!"
Celery
Celeriac
Leeks
Onions
Potatoes, red & white
Baby Beet Greens with the tiny beets on the end.
Chard
Arugula
Kale
Cilantro

Coming on...
sweet potatoes, dry beans (adzuki,kidney, jacobs cattle,black cocoa,cannelini)
winter squashes (butternut, buttercup,acorn,sweet dumpling,hubbards)
carrots,rutabagas,baby popcorn, beets

Harvesting and cleaning up the garden is sooooooooooo time consuming. Trying to put up as much food as possible, canning, freezing, forming the dry storage areas...

The CSA shares have been averaging, if all the items available were chosen, between 20 and 24 pounds a week. I think that is pretty impressive.

Gotta get ready for the market tomorrow.
