Harvest

The tomatoes are ripening beautifully this year. Last year, we had a problem with bottom end rot, but our soil is giving them what they need this time. The rain has really been a blessing, too. I pickled our first batch of cucumbers...10 quarts! There will be more to come. Our okra plants are not as many this year and somewhat shaded by the large and earlier planted tomatoes, so there won't be as many pickled okra. I am proud to tell that in the jars of pickles are our homegrown garlic and dill as well. As a side note, we are full fledged organic gardeners.
