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:


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


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!


Strawberry & blueberry jam!


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


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:


The first batch of artichokes - many more to come:


Peace & healthy eating!

I didn't plant a garden this year. Just too busy.

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.

We finally got two dry days in a row, then 1/2" rain last night, thunderstorm coming on in now........
