@EatenByLimestone, those peaches look wonderful! Do you ever make jelly from the peelings and pits?
@begreen, what a beautiful harvest of tomatoes! I bet your sauce will be great.
@clancey, I’m so proud of you. Thanks for posting a picture. Seeing that you’ve been successful just made my day.
Over the weekend, when I was watering the garden, I noticed that one of my varieties of sweet potatoes was pushing its way up through the mulch. Consulting my garden journal this morning, I saw that we’ve just hit the days to maturity, so I decided to dig in a couple of spots to see what size we were getting. My nine year old helped me, and here’s what we found.
The three small ones came from a crowded corner, and there is some majoring nibbling going on. I think we’ll end up harvesting sooner rather than later because of that. The large ones ranges from 1 and 1/2 to 2 pounds, so I was pretty pleased. My laundry room is hot and humid these days, so it will be a great spot to cure these.
My other variety just had smaller tubers, so we’ll wait a while on harvesting them. Hopefully the underground munchers won’t be too industrious.
The measurements on the pastry mat are centimeters in most places, by the way, not inches.
