End of Summer Update

Once again, I've been behind with my posting.  Here are a few pictures of the beautiful vegetables we've been enjoying so far.... 


This summer the vegetable yield was definitely more about variety versus quantity.  On top of that, I've had to pick some of the vegetables such as cucumbers before they're grown to full size just so the squirrels don't get to them (we have a squirrel problem here...)  


On of the most fantastic vegetables are the Candy-cane beets and purple radishes.   They are both gorgeous to look at and incredibly delicious.  The only thing is they take almost all summer to grow for a single yield and they do take up quite a bit of room.  


I also had a variety of tomatoes going this summer.   Here in the photo we have cherry tomatoes, Caspian Pink tomato, and the Big Rainbow tomatoes were the tastiest tomato, incredibly sweet and "tomato" tasty - you can just slice them up and eat them as is.  For sure will be planing lots of those next year!

French Breakfast Radish


First radish of the season!!!  I've been waiting for these "French Breakfast Radish" to be ready for a while now, so today I decided to  dig one up as the top was starting to be visible above the soil.  I read somewhere that the earlier you harvest the radish the less spicy they are, so I decided to give this a try before it gets too "spicy".  The result?  DELICIOUS!  Just slice them up and eat them raw, or mix them into a salad :)  Can't wait to harvest more in a few more days!
