More pictures of the bounty from my garden...behind the cut, to spare those of you who are getting bored by pics of veggies!


Potatoes! Potatoes!
I never grew potatoes before! We harvested about 3 pounds from a tiny little patch less than two feet square.
Cucumbers and a pepper! Cucumbers and a pepper!
Looks like it will be pickle time again soon!
Potatoes and cukes cleaned up Potatoes and cukes cleaned up
BTW, we ate four of the smaller potatoes for supper! They were very good! I will probably cook the eensy weensy ones with some beans. We've had a few of our yellow and green beans so far, but not enough to make a mess on their own, I had to add some I bought to them to make enough. But I have lots of blooms and tiny beans on the bushes-- I have hopes that I will have enough for a real mess of beans by the weekend, maybe.
My first tomatoes! My first tomatoes!
I have three other hanging buckets, and two pots on the ground, but these are the only ones getting ripe so far. I picked two of the ones in the green pot.

I love your pics! You really are getting a wonderful bounty. There can never be enough potatoes, pickles, or tomatoes.

Yummy! I have one little tomato that's just about ripe enough to pick. I had a little trouble with blossom-end rot, but I think I can still salvage most of my tomatoes, now that we've got our irrigation system figured out.

I will probably cook the eensy weensy ones with some beans.

Green beans and potatoes cooked with ham is nature's perfect food!

Tomatoes, especially the small ones, always remind me of Denethor! *lol*
