Talking Sweet About Nothing

This is a typical day's harvest.  Once things get rolling, we do this two to three times per week.

We've been making garden salsa for years, but this is the first time that we've grown EVERY ingredient!  Tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro all picked within an hour of eating it.

You can see the onion stalks have fallen over.  That's the sign that they are ready to harvest.

Here are about half of the onions (the other half haven't been pulled up yet) and the garlic curing in the shed.  This will take about two weeks for them to dry out.

We harvested about five pounds of potatoes.  The heat wave killed the plants a couple of months ahead of schedule, but we were happy to at least get this much.

Here's part of the pepper patch.  You can see how full these plants have gotten, and how many peppers are yet to come.

And here are the tomatoes.  They aren't the prettiest plants in the garden, that's for sure.
