Harvest Monday Catch Up

Been on a bit of a blogging hiatus so this post includes harvests from the past two weeks. The garden has been producing well but I am still waiting on the majority of tomatoes. The cucumbers and peppers seem to be lagging as well this year. Looks like there will be a bumper crop of warm season veggies late this summer. Here are photos of most things harvested lately:

Tomatoes

The first two tomatoes came in last week. These are from the early sown Siletz plant. As soon as they started to turn I brought them in to ripen on the window sill. Last season the critters got the first tomatoes, not this year! They tasted excellent.

Snap Beans

Above we have Purple Podded poles & Dragon Tongue beans, both have been producing well still. The only ones missing are the green pole beans. They have been on a break but are flowering well now.

Dry Beans

Lets start with the first bean photo shall we. The black beans are Trail of Tears, grown from seed shared by Daphne. They are a pole bean and are the first pole variety to produce beans. The raspberry coloured beans beside them are Vermont Cranberry, a bush variety. They are grown from seed I saved last fall.

The lower photo includes Soldier beans on the left, grown from seed shared by Kath. They are a bush variety and very productive. On the right are Tiger's Eye Beans. Also a bush variety but not nearly as productive.

Onions
Bottle Onions

Utah Sweet Spanish Onions

Assorted tiny onions.

All the onions came in today. Like the last two seasons they are rather small. Storage onions are typically not all the big but these are half the size they should be. One that did stand out was the Bottle onions. They are like a long shallot and grew quite well. If they taste good I think I may only grow them next season as a storage onion. They are reported the be a really good keeper.
