Harvest Monday

Harvest Monday

Happy Monday, everyone!
This week brought us a few more potatoes and the surprise of a pie pumpkin and a Roma tomato that were hiding beneath the potato leaves!  Amazingly, both the pumpkin and the tomato are completely fine, despite the multiple freezes we’ve had over the past couple of weeks!  I guess they were “mulched” perfectly by the leaves 🙂

I still haven’t pulled any beets since there’s really no room for them in the fridge with all the Thanksgiving dinner miscellaneous taking up every inch of space.  Of course, there are also 40 bottles of home brew in there, too, which should be ready to share with friends and family on Thursday!  Given the lack of space, I think I’ll wait until Thursday to pull a few beets and then roast them up on the spot 🙂 I can hardly wait!
This weeks totals:
  • Pie Pumpkin = 1 lb 8 oz
  • Potatoes (a mix of purple and German Butterballs) = 1 lb
  • Tomatoes = 1 oz 
  • Eggs = 13 …ugh…the Ladies are still molting!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Happy harvesting!

    Yay! For a surprise pumpkin and tomato. I am glad your gardens are doing so well for you that your fridge is packed. 🙂

      I wish it were all form the garden, but unfortunately it’s not. Some is, but a lot of it is from the store in preparation for the big T-day dinner. I do hope, one day, to grow everything needed for Thanksgiving…even the turkey…but we’re a ways off from that 😕

    Awesome to have a fresh tomato at this late date! And beets too! Not to mention pumpking pie from your own pumpkin. Sounds like a holiday in the making to me!

    Yum! Home Brew for thanksgiving sounds pretty darn good! The beets are a nice treat to look forward to. I have some I need to thin and harvest too. Congratulations on finding the suprise pumpkin and tomatoe. It’s always fun to get an unexpected harvest out of the garden.
