In addition to tending to the flowers, I’ve also been harvesting the fruits of my labours.

The shallots were dying down and ready for harvest, and I think I got a pretty good haul. Like the garlic, they are on the sunporch so theirs skins can get nice and dry.

My potato harvest wasn’t quite a abundant.(Hand for scale) I planted three seed potatoes, and this is was I got. While they aren’t plentiful ,they are a good size. I think I need bigger container – but for my first try at growing potatoes, I think I did ok.

The bean harvest on the other hand… is absolutlely out of control. I planted waaaaay too many plants, as I’m harvesting this many beans every two days. We cannot eat this many beans!!!! This lot went to a friend. And another lot went to the new neighbour behind us. I’ll be taking a pile to Mom when I head there in August. But I’m still going to need to find people to foist beans upon!

The cucumbers are starting to come along! These are the first harvest, and they are definitely a good size – they are a Japanese variety that is supposed to be similar to an English cucumber.

I was a little worried about my zucchini, because I wasn’t seeing any fruits on it, but then all of a sudden I found this monster hiding in the plant! I guess I’m making Dave some zucchini bread!

And last… the cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen

Only three so far, but that’s fine. It was enough to toss on a bowl of salad for Dave.

All in all, it was a pretty good harvest day.

And of course, there’s still more to come.

The broccoli is starting to look like broccoli, and the squash… It’s looking pretty good too!
