Monday's Harvest 7/23/12

Oh Boy, Oh Boy!! I have a harvest.  Maybe I will get to fill those baskets yet.

 My first tomato.  It is a Bush Beefsteak grown in a pot so not as big as they are suppose to get. 3 3/8oz.
 Went to get a few small potatoes from the volunteers to make salt potatoes.  Boy was I surprised.  This is 2 plants.  3 lbs 7 5/8 oz. of reds and 1 lb. 14 3/4 oz.of kenebec.
 My one and only Tom Thumb Baby Bibb lettuce. 3 1/2 oz.
 Detroit Red short top beets  14 1/4 oz.
 The tops were still tender of 7 3/8 of greens.
And of course my ever faithful onions from sets 1 lb 2 3/4 oz.

Check out our host,Daphne's Dandelions, and see what others have harvested this week.

    Congratulations on the first tomato! It sounds like the potatoes were a pleasant surprise. The beets look lovely. I don't like beets, but I think they are pretty and love the beet greens. Your photo has me wishing I had some right now. I can never get my onions to grow that large from sets.

    Wow! You went from zero to sixty in one week! Lots and lots of things in your harvest basket this week. The tomato looks wonderful and those onions and potatoes are the makings of some very good eating.

    You've got to love that first tomato. We always have a little party and sit down cut it up and savor every bite. Funny how that first one tastes so great!!

    That's fabulous! I love that you've waited until things got to a decent size before harvesting - excellent restraint. When I'm waiting on things I have a tendency to harvest too early and then regret it.

    Thanks everyone. I haven't been able to get out to my big garden since I got hurt but am hoping to hobble out there today. I know there is nothing ready but still need to check it. I never did get my tomatoes all caged so guess I will eventually be staking them when I am able. They are blossoming so need to get at it.
