Harvest Time!

We have been picking and pulling up all our spring time hard work.
There were a few things that didn't turn out the way we wanted but we are learning and that's the whole point. We found several types of beans we don't like, tomatoes that just aren't as good as others and we lost almost all of our summer squash (except for a few at the beginning), and all of our pumpkins and now our winter squash to squash bugs.

We did get a few Watermelon that he raccoons didn't eat. The White one is a sweet Cream of Saskatchewan and the red one is an old variety called Moon and stars.
We are just starting to get our red and yellow peppers and lots of Cayenne's and Jalapenos.
Today I pulled up all the remaining carrots, there are purple and white ones that are just as great as the orange.
We pulled up all our potatoes a few weeks ago and they are awesome! We have a plain white potato, Yukon gold and red potatoes.
Some of the most prolific and hardy items that we will definitely grow more of next year is the peppers, eggplants, okra, onions, plain green beans, and just 4 different types of tomatoes. We had 9 different ones this year to see what we liked and we have narrowed it down to the 4 best.
I got a new shirt a friend at work found for me. Of course Adam just HAD to try it on.
I don't think he realizes that I have the power to put it on the blog! He he......
