Much Harvesting of Zucchini and Tomatoes on the Way

I would say that most of the harvesting of my vegetables and fruits from the garden will be coming sometime this month.  I would say in the next few weeks I should be start harvesting my tomatoes.  My zucchini are ready to be picked and there are a minimum of three that need to be picked soon.

This is just one of the zucchinis that I plan on picking this weekend.  I think it is a perfect size for harvesting and I always wait until they have reached their peak size.








Tomatoes are also on my list for harvesting, but they will not be ready for another couple of weeks once they reach their peak size they still need to ripen.  It is still good to see most of my plants producing tomatoes including my steakhouse, cherry, and even Roma.

Here is just a small cluster of Roma tomatoes that have been hiding on some of my plants.  I hope to get plenty of them in order to make as much sauce as possible to enjoy over the Fall and Winter.








Some more blueberries were ready for picking and I picked my second harvest of these delicious berries.  I think I will have at least a few more harvests and hope to pick as many as possible.

This is just a sample of some of the berries that I picked recently.  I have many more that need to be harvested real soon and I hope to do that in the next couple of days or so.

Some Fruits and Vegetables are Starting to Appear

There are already and few fruits and vegetables that are starting to grow on some of my plants.  It is still the beginning of the season and there are many more days ahead, but seeing plants getting ready to produce harvests is a good sign.  Usually early is better in this situation.

There are still plenty of plants that are not quite that fast, but in time they too will eventually begin producing some fruit and vegetables.  There was only one harvest this week that came from my blueberry bushes.  They normally don't ripen this early, but with the clear skies and bright sun around they have ripened much quicker.

I didn't get that much, but with the first harvest I think I did quite well.

This only a sample of the amount of blueberries I plan on picking this year.  There are still some out there and I am hopeful that I will have many more harvests to come this year.










I am starting to see some tomatoes from some of my plants mainly cherry tomatoes for the moment.  I did not see any other tomatoes in the garden beginning to grow, but it will take my steakhouse and Roma tomatoes a little bit more time to grow.

Bush Bean Harvesting and More Blueberries are On The Way

Green beans are my favorite vegetables and I always have to grow them in the garden every year.  It wouldn't be a garden if I didn't have my favorite food in it.  As you know bush beans were planted before I started my pole beans.  Although the pole ones take longer to produce fruit anyways, this just adds to the fact that I will be harvesting the bush beans first.

This is what I did today because there might be some rain coming tomorrow that I would like to avoid if I am able to.  I always try to harvest anything before a rain if I can.  I always find that this is a great way to help out my plants and keep them producing flowers throughout the season.

Check out the beans that I collected this afternoon.

I also noticed that there were plenty of more blueberries that needed to be harvested as well.  Some of the older ones turned to a dark color which means that they will taste much sweeter than any of the normal ones that I picked.  They should all be sweet for the most part, but these dark ones will have an extra something that I will notice when I eat them.

Here are the dark ones so you know what I mean.

Three pounds of blueberries can be found right here.

There are many more vegetables that are starting to begin producing in the garden and the season will get really busy soon.  I might have to start writing more posts during the week.  Come find out what other vegetables are growing in my garden.

The Latest Harvests of Zucchini and Blueberries

Today was a great day for picking blueberries and it has been quite some time since I last picked them a few days ago.  It can take some time for blueberries to ripen and with so many of them on each bush it is a great idea to wait at least three days before going back out there and picking some more.

Some of the larger bushes that I have are producing some of the larger berries which happens every single year.  Feeding all your plants every year will help yield larger and juicier fruits that you can enjoy through the whole season.  Here is what I collected today.

After picking as many ripe berries as I could I went on to check on my zucchinis.  I had quite a few today and I ended up picking three of them.  One of them actually weighed five and a half pounds!  This was the largest one that I have ever grown in the garden.  The other two were about three pounds each which is still very good.

In the next post I will let you how my entire garden is going and what vegetables or fruits I should expect next to harvest.

Harvested The First Set of Blueberries

One of my favorite fruits blueberries are great to have and I always try to enjoy them throughout the summer and save them for days when they are not around.  This week we received much rain which helped them out and the first batch that I picked came two days ago.

I didn't get much because this is only the first of many that will come throughout the entire summer.  One pound is all I got, but there are many more blueberries that I can see that have not yet ripened.  Basically I am hoping that these other bushes will have many more that I will pick in the near future.

Zucchinis are just as great and I had a couple more that needed to be picked before they started to go bad.  I love picking them when they are very large because you cannot find this size in any store.  Although there is only one good meal that you can make out of these large vegetables.
