Picking More Beans Seems to be the Trend

Right now my beans are exploding and they are continuing to get more flowers on them which leads to more beans for me to pick.  Around this time is usually the peak of my bean vines in terms of picking and harvesting.  I do not know if I will have many more harvests to make, but as long as they keep growing I will be there to get all of them.















Some other vegetables were on the ropes of being picked and I wanted to mention those too.  One pepper, a cucumber, and just a couple more zucchinis were picked this past week.
















This is all I was able to pick this week.  The beans I picked a few hours ago and everything else happened yesterday.

Its Time for Another Harvest of Pole Beans

The second harvest is one I always look forward to because this is where I get an increase and start yielding many more beans that the first time.  From looking at my plants and how they are growing it looks like that I should be receiving plenty more of them in future harvests.  I am not sure how much more, but only time will tell exactly what I will get.  Hopefully it will be close to last years harvest.














Some more tomatoes, cucumbers, and one zucchini were picked up today as well.  I am getting many more tomatoes and most of them are at full size, but they are still green and will probably begin ripening all at once.  I did pick up a two pound Roma this afternoon which is the biggest Roma I have picked this season and I hope there are many more.














Here are some more tomatoes I picked today.














Three more cucumbers.














Last, but not least one zucchini.














I just want to mention that my onions are still drying, but only for a few more days they will be left outside and then I can begin to use them.  I have already brought in the first set of onions that were dry and I should begin using them very soon.  I am hoping that these onions will last the rest of the year.  Last year I didn't plant as many but was able to use them all the way up to the beginning of December or end of November.  This time I want them to last all the way to January first.  That was my ultimate goal with onions this season.
