Here are the harvests after being gone at YW camp for 5 days.
Sadly, this is the extent of my onion harvests. Small lil things...but I won't complain.
Cured onions, a couple baby carrots, lots of Early cherry tomatoes, a couple Oregon cherry and a Sweetheart grape.
The tomatoes are delicious, I've picked a few more since and I've eaten most of them already...I wish they would all ripen already! It's tough waiting for them! Sadly, I also came home to see that some of my Marzano romas had BER (blossom end rot). I've removed about 10 tomatoes! I'm pretty sad, but hoping the rest will come in nicely. I think they got too much water while I was gone and must also be lacking Ca.
The zucchini are giants! Ooops! What do with them now??
Today, I spent most of the day planting for fall harvests and pulling up all of the beets that just did not grow. I really don't know why? I think they were much too crowded. My next post will be about how I used the mini beets and the greens.
In their spot, I planted Top Keeper onions, Guardsman salad onions and Red Marble onions. Most of these should overwinter (except the guardsman).
I also pulled a few early petite carrots that were in the way.
Yesterday I ate 1 of the bush green beans with a little tomato/onion relish. Delicious! I need to go pick a few more beans! I'm definitely planting much more next year!

Your carrots look great! Sorry to hear about your San Marzano's :( Our tomato crop this year is pitiful :(
That is a lot of zukes, and such cute little carrots.
Love your photos and those carrots look yummy! Dry and crush your egg shells (I've even asked my sister in law to save me some) and throw a handful in the ground in each hole for each tomato. This will give them enough calcium even if they get a little over watered. glad I found your blog - you're talented with the camera.
Thanks girls! Yes, the carrots are pretty cute and tasty. I can't wait for them to get a bit bigger so I can harvest more.
Unfortunately, I've lost a few more marzanos. :(
Laura: I appreciate the photog compliment. You have a lovely garden yourself and beautiful photos! I'll be following...
