Kitchen garden update - harvesting

This week I have been harvesting from my kitchen garden.



It is just the beginning of tomato season.


Different kinds of beans. Small cherry tomatoes are peaking through.


Beets, zucchini and eggplant.

  6. Very beautiful; I only have a tiny garden with a tiny harvest, but I do go to our farmer's market! It actually SEEMS like a cheaper way for us. We don't have to water, and fight all the insects!

  20. What a bounty you have. My tomatoes are just now coming in. Late garden... I can't wait to get them canned for the winter. Of course, a lot of them are being eaten straight off the vine. Nothing better than fresh veggies from your backyard.

    Partying with you tonight.

  27. hi, you vege looks greatttttttttt! I have request and question: I looking at your different kind of beans photo, and I see off white/yellowis flat beans, possiblly type "papdi" (not the darker gree papadi), what do you call that? In gujrati, we called murchi valol or papdi and was wondering if you like to share some seeds with me or could you pelase guide me to the place where you got them from. I have been looking for them for such a longggg time and could not find it in india or in US. My family used grow back when i was a little kid but they did not save any seeds.

    thanks,
