Harvest Monday – 8/6/2012
Here we go again! The tomatoes are coming in pretty quickly now, and in general I’m able to keep up. So far. I am surprised by the eggplant – the four above came off the same plant!
Total for week: 26.1 lbs
Total for year: 99.44 lbs

It’s nice when you can actually keep pace with the harvest rather than having to preserve it – but it’s difficult to achieve that with any degree of consistency! I do hope my eggplants are as successful as yours. Everyone I know has told me that they don’t normally do well in the UK, but I want to prove them wrong! 🙂

Preserving it is one of my intentions. But so far I’m doing Ok. The sambal this year has a healthy dose of habeneros for real fruity heat! If anyone will have success wth the eggplants, I’m sure you will!

You’re getting such a nice variety! I have yet to harvest a ripe pepper, although my Happy Yummy Hot are finally showing a bit of color.

Feels like it is mostly tomatoes at this point! The hot peppers are starting to come in, and the habenero’s are going pretty well The tabasco ones will be intersting… Still waiting on the bells but they seem to come late to the party.

Great harvest. Those tomatoes seem the perfect amount. Enough to eat and put up, but not an overwhelming amount.

I’m putting up most of them at this point. As long as the roma’s keep coming, I’ll keep canning!

Really impressive harvest this week, Dave. Such a nice assortment, too. Your totals are really incredible!

I’m liking the variety, but I think I will not top last years amounts. The prolific cucumbers last year are hard to match.

Awesome, awesome harvest. You all (from Harvest Monday) are such an inspiration!

Love to see all those beautiful ripe tomatoes. Something about a counter groaning from the weight of abundant ripe tomatoes which just shouts – “SUMMER”!

I agree, and when they are determinate Romas, well…. they sure are coming on strong… though I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I’m thinking of canning tomatoes.. I’d love a few of those romas!!

The romas are just about done…. will be ripping them out in the next week or two.
