Harvest pictures

Vegetable gardening this year seemed almost effortless after all the rain we've had and the fact that I chose to plant a limited amount.

As the end of summer draws near, the Roma tomatoes struggled with the weight of its fruits.











Initial scallop squash harvest: bite-sized, ready to steam & devoured with or without butter.












Beet greens were ready to be harvested all summer but the beets themselves took their time to mature.











Peas, of course, are cool weather veggies, so they were the first harvest to grace our table. We were able to freeze a little bit as we enjoyed the sugar snaps at the same time.










Swiss chard is one of my favorite leafy vegetable because it is jam packed with nutrition for such a mild tasting veggie (compared to the beet greens which taste like beets).


While I sound obsessed with gardening ever since I started with the winter's indoors sowing, I feel just utterly satisfied and gratified with each garden visit. Writing it down helps validate this feeling of gratitude.
