We got our first Mitoyo eggplant, a productive, good tasting variety, but the sharp thorns on its calyx get me every time!
A mid-July transplanted "Brisk Green" pak choi:
The first
"Umberto" tomatoes. This was a free seed packet I got a while ago.
They are an heirloom, and are supposed to have "up to 250 2-inch fruits
per plant." Well, these are one inch, and if I get 250 I'll be amazed.
Still, it's fun to try different tomatoes.

The first
"Calabrese" hot pepper. I got these seeds from a winery garden out in
California last fall. The gardener said they were "atomic." OK, bring
it on!

The second planting of Toy Choi this season. Sadly only three of the
seedlings I started survived, and slugs had their way with the remainder, but
the stalks at least are nice, and taste just as good as the leaves.

| Oh boy Toy Choi! |
Now on to representative continuing harvests. Here's some solanacea harvested one day:
One of the last blueberry pickings:
And the shishito peppers finally gave us enough for a feast, or at least a delicious appetizer:

| Mellow Star |
And the "Mom CSA" for the week. See, I told you TKG would eventually start giving away Diva cucumbers. Unlucky Mom arrived just a day after a large batch of beans got frozen.
A Saturday harvest. The Bride eggplant steals the show in my opinion.
"Carson" wax
beans on the left, and on the right, Calima filet beans and oh-god-more-Divas.
Lamb kebobs and roasted peppers - well it doesn't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mike - your kabob meal had my mouth watering! I'll have to remember the double skewering trick. I'm planning a chicken kabob meal later this week. You're getting more Mellow Star than I have but my plants are still going strong. All of mine have been mellow too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea with the skewering and grilling of peppers, and it looks like you're getting lots of variety from your garden. I'll be trying Shishito peppers again next year, they were really spicy the first time we grew them.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, you've had some wowzer of hot pepper varieties, will be interested in which ones were your favourite. This time of year is so great when there is enough variety to mix and match at meals!
