The last of the carrots are pulled from the garden.

Busy Harvest
I enjoy my time in the garden– more than I enjoy the work in the kitchen.
But of coarse, the work must be done.
Tomatoes have been roasted,
Apples have been turned to Apple Butter, and pie fillings,
Soups have been made for the Winter months,
Herbs have been dried.
Lovely Leeks
The little, tiny Leek seeds were started in the warm greenhouse in Wintery March.
I transplanted out thin blades of seedlings– in May.
I was sure they would wither away in the intense heat of this Summer.
To my surprise, they grew.
Potato Leek Soup for dinner.
Quick Pick
Vintage garden basket,
well loved, and well used.
The Sampler Platter
And this is why I grow heirloom tomatoes!
And for us, you can’t beat the flavor!
Late Crops
My late crop of salad greens
are growing well.
The cooler weather has helped.
Plate Full
I have been documenting all the different heirloom tomato varieties
with my camera this Summer.
It will be a good way to remember them when the snow is flying this Winter,
and I have my nose in the seed catalogs.
After my little photo shoot the other day,
I had this lovely plate sitting on the table.
So proud. Very, very proud.
The best, largest and prettiest crop of peppers I have ever grown!
As Dr. Gru says in Despicable Me–
Very, very proud!
Garden defined
Fairly simple,
nothing showy,
often a bit untidy and rambling around the edges-
relaxed.
Show and Tell Heirloom Style
I just have to share these gorgeous Heirloom Tomatoes.
“purple smudge” . Really good producer!
- Ananas Noir or Black Pineapple: beautiful tomato! producing very heavy yields and large fruit. Sweet and slightly smokey.
Creme’ Brulee–My favorite heirloom from this gardening season! Producing heavy yields of a nice size tomato. Carmel colored with red streaks! , and tasty.
