Here's some of the harvest from this year. We were so pleased with our results. We did have a few losses... one pumpkin rotted and one got stolen. However, we managed to harvest 1 prizewinner, 2 rouge vif d'etampes, and 2 galeuse d'eysinne. We learned a lot about tomatoes... we didn't give them enough space this year and we didn't trim them back enough so unfortunately we ended up with quite a jungle. Alas... next year we will know better. We got lots of tasty carrots and beets. Favourites were the golden detroit beets and the atomic red carrots. We also had lots of luck with our rhubarb transplanted from my mom's backyard this year. It just kept giving and giving. Oh yes and speaking of which our chard (ruby red) was a winner all summer and fall.
And now... it's time to start delving into the seed catalogues to plan for next year.
Nice haul o'squash. Have you recorded the total weight?
ReplyDeleteNot yet... I still have to do a class picture too.
ReplyDeleteI love your vegetable portraits and I look forward to the class picture. Did you ever get around to doing one?
ReplyDeleteI like your storytelling. I can hear your voice as I read. Very exciting!
John - thank you for your delightful comments.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately two of the pumpkins got carved before I got around to photographing the graduates. Alas... next year.
Looking at these pictures again, I see that they are really first-rate. They're yours, right? I look forward to seeing many more.
ReplyDeleteThank you John. Yes... they are mine. I hope to get more up over the next few weeks.
