Recent harvests

First, a photo of my pingtung eggplant plants, which I so seldom take a picture of. I re-did the chicken wire fencing around them because rabbits were eating the tiny eggplants. Now I hope I get eggplants.

A couple of days ago, I got my first big tomato, a Dwarf Tomato Project tomato called Purple Heart. As you can see, the tomatoes aren't dwarves, just the plants, which top out at about 4.5 feet. (so they aren't very dwarf either!) It was delicious, and I had most of it on my first BLT of the season, which was indescribably good.

A typical every-two-day harvest right now, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, and ground cherries. About two or three weeks delayed because of strange spring weather.

I harvested my bagged potatoes. I started with three large potatoes, two red (chieftains, I think), one white (mystery variety, all from Walmart grocery store organic potatoes), let them chit, cut them into three pieces each, let them sit another day or two, and then put them in grow bags in compost plus peat plus tomato fertilizer. The harvest from 3 seed potatoes was over six pounds! There are big potatoes on the bottom of this pile, and the little ones on top, the size of extra-large hen's eggs,  I'll save and use for seed potatoes next year, if they make it through the winter in storage.

Just finished mowing, which means I get ten days of not mowing! (yay!)
