This is this weekends harvest, minus a few tomatoes and an acorn squash that I gave away. After I took the picture, I found two more acorn squash that were ready to pick. I would say, we have about 10 more pounds of tomatoes that are still green on the vine.

This was one of my Big Boys that I grew. I've also got some Lemon Boys that were just as big and tasty.

Off the tomato topic, but what kind of carrots are those? I grow a lot of Nantes, but I like that those look more straight and narrow...

Hmmmm....Good question! :D I think I saved the package. I'll check when I get home. I have to say, I was so pleased with them. Just had some raw for lunch and boy are they sweet! I've tried planting carrots twice before with not so much success. I think it really helped that we had a raised bed with loose soil this year. I'll let you know tomorrow. :)

We don't get many edible large tomatoes, but these are two Amana Orange and two Pineapple tomatoes. Both varieties were very tasty, and the Pineapple had the most unique flavor I have ever tasted in a tomato. The largest of the Amana orange was nearly two pounds!
The pineapple tomatoes are really pretty! I bet with the unique flavor they would make great salsa to put on top of chicken.

They were quite a surprise for us this year. Next year will several more of those plants, I can't wait. Now that I'm getting into canning salsa and hot sauce I would kill to have a bushel of them right now. :drool

I just went out and checked on the pineapple tomato plant, should two more ready to go in a day or so. The weather has gone from the mid 90's to the low to mid 70's, I hope it helps us to get a few more precious gems!
