Though I confess my favorite time for Harvest Monday is in the winter when I can see produce still coming in from Australia and other southern regions. It keeps me dreaming about the garden when the snow is covering the ground.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-5830980279797971592010-08-11T17:35:38.240-04:002010-08-11T17:35:38.240-04:00Daphne,
Thank you for hosting Harvest Monday...Daphne,<br /><br /> Thank you for hosting Harvest Mondays! After reading everyone else's harvest, I was tempted to start my own garden blog. This way, I could show off what I've been growing and harvesting to the rest of the gardening community(instead of just my family :-)) <br /><br />RandomGardener.RandomGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634760100341475864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-73057388264829358912010-08-10T06:47:38.026-04:002010-08-10T06:47:38.026-04:00abigail, they are real space hogs for what they pr...abigail, they are real space hogs for what they produce, but I eat so many of them in the winter that I like growing my own. Next year I ought to have enough space to grow lots.<br /><br />Karen Anne, Luckily we don't get those 100 degree days very often. Maybe once every 5-10 years. This year being one of them of course.<br /><br />Dan, thanks.<br /><br />Dirt Lover, I have jalapenos, serranos, and Big Chili II. The black cherry is Chocolate Cherry.<br /><br />foodgardenkitchen, that is too bad. I've had a couple do that to me, but luckily not many. I've never had such a huge harvest of tomatillos before. They are another one that is loving the heat. I have two tomatillo plants. One seems to be a sport and it is huge and really productive so I'm going to save seed and hope I get another big one next year.<br /><br />Christina, I used this one:<br />http://www.canning-recipes.com/recipes/tomatillo_salsa.html<br />Which I really liked. I used a mix of chili peppers: jalapeno, serrano, and green chilis.<br /><br />Lou Murray, I had only 60 some pounds the week before. It is almost doubling it. Part of that is that the cool weather crops really died too early. Usually I get a better brassica and lettuce harvest in June and July. I guess the warm weather crops will make up for it all.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-33271081281714003862010-08-10T06:39:55.436-04:002010-08-10T06:39:55.436-04:00Ali, thanks

I think it is because I've been so fresh vegetable deprived all winter long.<br /><br />Cheryl, me too<br /><br />Martha, I find them so much better than the canned variety and so much easier to make too. They may not keep forever, but they keep for a couple of months which is good enough.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, I'm canning little batches of sauce oh and tomato juice. I think next time I'll make sauce with my strainer. It might have to boil down for a while, but it is so much less work.<br /><br />Stevie from GardenTherapy, thanks<br /><br />sweetlocal, thanks<br /><br />michelle, I've noticed that we have stolen all your warm weather. The gardener in me likes it, but the person who has to walk places wishes it would just cool down already.<br /><br />debiclegg, it is a bit too hot for me, but my plants are eating it up.<br /><br />mac, thanks<br /><br />Angela, I'm sure you will get your tomatoes soon. At least in southern California you don't get frost too early, so you have time.<br /><br />johanna, I can't believe I harvested that much either. I only have 200sqft of gardening space and part of that is in shade. The heat is doing wonders for the plants.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, I'll be hoping your peppers get with it this year. I'm not getting a great pepper harvest as the peppers are way too close to the tomatoes. They just can't compete, but they are doing OK.<br /><br />Holly, one is better than none.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91329923678147002332010-08-10T01:01:32.958-04:002010-08-10T01:01:32.958-04:00Beautiful dried beans.
