Harvest Time

This summer went so fast, I feel like I had no time to really enjoy the garden. It came and went before I even knew it. Last week, or maybe a couple of weeks ago (see, I really have no concept of time anymore), we went out to harvest the remains of our garden before a freeze. Here are a few choice photos-

No shortage of tomatoes here. Too bad I didn't have more time to bottle everything.
Anyone know a good recipe for green tomatoes?


A honeydew melon. It didn't taste so good.


An orange fleshed watermelon. It actually wasn't too bad. The kids devoured it in no time.


A giant bell pepper. Too bad it wasn't around at the same time as our county fair. I'm sure we would have taken home a prize for that.




Ben still loves eating tomatoes. Below, are a some pictures from the last few years. We have to get at least one picture a year of him stuffing his face full of tomato. Weston would rather eat dirt than a tomato, which it appears, is exactly what he was doing.

  1. Cute boys! I love the ones of Ben eating tomatoes. And that pepper--what a whopper! I have to agree with you that Weston was eating dirt instead of the produce.

  2. Love it! I think the dirt faces are the best! I apparently need to get a little more into cleaning gardens out cause I am never that dirty.
    Ben and I are from the same mold...I love eating tomatoes straight from the garden!

  3. I miss your blog... sigh...

    PS. These are the dirtiest kids I've ever seen. Its a wonder CPS isn't banging on your door.

    Call yourself Mother of the year... sheesh!
