Let's Do Some Harvest Photos

[897tgigvib]

Hi everyone. I was thinking it might be time for everyone to put up some harvest photos.

This is a closeup of Japonica Striped Maize Flint Corn

A couple of the ears, and the first of the "Safeway Cluster" Tomatoes.

Some of the dry beans I mixed for making into chile and soup. This batch is heavy on the Rose Bolitas, and the Fanomen, but there are also Burgundy Bolitas, Burgundy Kidney, Black Spanish, Swedish Brown, Indian Woman Yellow, Colorful Bolitas Mix, Pastel Ojos, and some others in this mix, a 2 pound jar.

Oh yea! I plum forgot!!!

Will do real soon!!!

There are Mayflower and Italian Pole Borlotto in this mix too...

This mix doesn't have all the prettiest beans in it. I'll photograph those soon.

Wow, Marshall!

You must have the the most colorful ingredients in a slow cooker in California!

Maybe I will take a basket of tomatoes out in the sunlight tomorrow and take a shot of them. DW cut up a fresh red beefsteak tonight to go with a plate full of salmon with onions and tiny sweet peppers. We both were amazed how good that tomato was! What was it? I have only a smidgen of an idea! There is only one red beefsteak in the garden that is new to me. The others, I'm almost certain to be able to recognize by taste alone. So anyway . . . I may not be able to identify what is in the basket of tomatoes. Maybe I can start another thread on 1 or 2 -- you know, with a bite gone out of the corner of each .

Anyway, you may have memory lapses but I bet you don't have any difficulty in ID'ing every bean that I could point to in that picture!

Love the pics, Marshall. I can only imagine what a delicious soup those beans must make.

This is one of the jars of Quinoa grain. It needs another round of hand rubbing and winnowing.
