Not your boogers freaks!

A thread for posting your veggies and fruit after you pick them.

Here's some jalapenos and okra I just picked.

Excellent!

Jalapenos that is.

Try and pick your Okra a bit earlier. Mrs S believes that a bit smaller will be better tasting.

I remember you mentioning that before. We were on vacation for a week and when we got back they had gotten huge. But thanks for the tip, I'll be picking them earlier from now on.

Nice! Our peppers aren't ready yet, neither are the tomatoes. Here's some stuff - we've eaten a LOT of blueberries, strawberries, asparagus, squash, snap peas already...Processed some blueberries and strawberries into jam already. No new garlic has been eaten yet and some is still curing in the garage. Love the fresh stuff!!

Some squash - last of the garlic and the last spaghetti squash in the background:

A tiny portion of strawberries:
16234

Some of the cured and trimmed garlic - I keep them in the mesh bags all year:
16235

Garlic still curing - I ran out of mesh bags, so used a couple of old pillow cases ;) The haul was MUCH larger than expected this year!
16236

Strawberry & blueberry jam! :)
16237

A tiny portion of snap peas - we air fried up some for lunch on Monday :)
16238

A small portion of basil (already dried basil, oregano, sage, and cilantro); this batch is destined for pesto this fried to go along with garlic sourdough bread:
16239

The first batch of artichokes - many more to come:
16240

Peace & healthy eating!

My estimator was a little off today. I thought maybe 36 pints ended up with 52 pints. Not bad for a days work!

Everything is real late here or rotted/damped off from rain.

Here is two from archives:

25+ jalapenos
20+ cucumbers
10+ lunchbox peppers
8-10 Okra
3-4 squash
2-3 zucchini

Tobasco Peppers about to come in, expecting 30 nice little red peppers daily from our 1 plant.

Neighbor farmer came over and said he was going to cut a section of picked sweet corn. He said he know his pickers missed a bunch and told us to go get all we want.

Got 2 trailer loads. First load was heaping this is the second load below of some salt and pepper sweet corn. We blanched and froze it today.

First picking of white half runner beans . . . about 100 lineal feet . . . fence is 5 ft tall . . . they grew way over the fence this year.

And of course the old codger sitting on the front porch . . . stringing and breaking.

Wound up with 32 pints . . . and gave away about 6 qts to a friend for her birthday.

May God bless,
Dwight

We've all been there it's okay. You can just drool over ours.
