August Garden Harvests

I've been a little ambivalent about my garden lately. We took two week long trips in August, so the peak of garden time kind of got neglected. But luckily, the veggies kept on growing. I still haven't succeeded in planting much if a fall garden. I attempted to transplant Brussel sprouts and broccoli. But only ended up with one measly plant of each. We'll see...

Look Amelia harvested a rock! She probably also ate all the tomatoes that I picked that day. The girl is a thief!

Haven't baskets were pretty small in early August. But the theme is the same. Tomatoes, beans and cucumbers (yay!)

 

In mid-August things started to pick up.

Too many beans....

 

 

 

This was the one of the biggest and last basket of August. Luckily, there is still a lot of harvesting time to go and lots of things growing. Plenty of carrots and onions left too.

Th fall raspberries are also keeping Amelia and I quite busy picking them.

If I stop neglecting things, I might be able to get my 5th attempt at spinach growing.

 

Ooooh --- and I have a pumpkin growing! First time ever!

Actually, I have this huge white squash pumpkin thing growing too! It's beautiful. I think it was seed from a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch we went to last fall. I can't wait to see what it looks like inside.
