Harvest Monday: August 27, 2012

We got more tomatoes this week, and I think we'll have some fabulous beauties ripen towards the end of the week.


We got our new camera this week, and some better lighting solutions too.  And what I notice from looking at this picture is that I need to wipe the water spots off those tomatoes!

I didn't get pictures of the multitude of peppers we picked this week, nor the strawberries.  And I forgot to take any of the corn either.  I'm either really hungry when I harvest or my mind is going.  Can't decide which.  The Mr could probably tell you though.

I think we'll see more strawberries and peppers this week.  And our lettuce is coming back - maybe enough for a salad this week!  Corn too.  And tomatoes.  It does look to be a productive week!

Total Harvest for the Week: 4 pounds, 1.8 ounces
Total Harvest for the Year: 45 pounds, 0.5 ounces



 Linked up with Daphne's Dandelions Harvest Monday... hop on over and see what else is being picked this week.

  4. Your tomatoes sure do look a lot better than mine! Even if they do have water spots! Sounds like you are getting a lot of wonderful produce even if you forgot to take pictures! Enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog! Nancy

  5. Wish I had tomatoes like those. They would go nicely with my cucumbers. Maybe we can trade.

  8. I am still waiting for my larger tomatoes to ripen but your mention of lettuce reminds me that I should start seeds for a fall harvest. I don't know what it is, but I always forget the lettuce!

  9. Ha! I was noticing water spots on my pics of ripe cherokee purple tomatoes too. I often have a hard time remembering to get the pictures and weighing done before I start eating on the daily harvests. It finally (after years of doing this now) becoming a habit but I still occassionally miss catching a harvest because I space it out and move on to using the harvest.

  10. For me, photographing the garden and it's produce is now second nature - but I often forget to weigh the veggies. Actually I don't really keep tallies of the harvest weights etc, but I do still like to be able to say "today I picked another pound of beans" or something.
    What type is your new camera?

  11. I can only wish I had a camera that was capable of picking up water spots and other details like that. Great harvest!
