6/27 - Beets 18 oz., onion 6 oz., Carrots 14 oz., cabbage 25 oz.
6/27 - I told David that my green onions were the size of baseball bats. Close! The garlic cleaned up at just 2 oz., the onions 6 oz.6/28 - Not shown, Broccoli 2 oz., lettuce 3 oz.
6/29 - Basil 10 oz.
6/29 - Carrots 11 oz., lettuce 19 oz.
Lettuce and carrots (from 6/29) all cleaned up.
6/30 - Walla Walla Sweet onion 9 oz.
6/30 - Rhubarb 12 oz.
7/1 - Bush beans 5 oz., the first picking of the year.
7/1 - Herbs 3 oz., garlic 2 oz., sweet pepper 2 oz., tomatoes from 2010 garden. The onion is the one from 6/30, above.
7/2 - Walla Walla Sweet onions 20 oz.
7/3 - Would you believe I forgot to weigh today's harvest of beets and carrots? I brought them in, washed them, took the photo and immediately cooked them all! I'm estimating they weighed half again as much as those picked on 6/27, which is probably less than they actually did weigh, but I've entered the beets at 24 oz. and the carrots at 21 oz.
Raspberries have been harvested daily. Total for the week was 7 pounds. That's 11.5 pounds picked so far this year, compared to last year's total of 9.25 pounds. I've frozen 3 lb. 13 oz. so far, so I will definitely have enough for jam this year!Total harvest for the week: 20.4 pounds
Total harvest for the year to date: 94.2 pounds

Wonderful! It feels like you just planted! I'm in love with everything you are harvesting. I put in a bigger Fall garden than I do for the summer...summer is mainly tomatoes and potatoes for me.
ReplyDeleteWow-you had a great harvest of raspberries!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just finishing up on strawberries-Don DREADS my morning trip in from the garden. Who'd have thought a person could be TIRED OF STRAWBERRIES. I hope to get that way with raspberries now!
:D
That's a lot of raspberries Granny! I hope that my raspberries are that productive next year! I'm all excited about my onions and I think that yours are twice the size!! Great harvests this week!
ReplyDeleteGosh you're amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat's all there is to say!
raspberries! Every time I go to the store and see the prices on various berries, i make a mental note to try to grow some:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful harvest as always:)
Beautiful fruits and vegetables, and beautiful photos. I'm impressed that you weigh and tally everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome harvest. Our garden has been slow to produce this year, partly because of my late planting. Your photos made my mouth water. What amazing pics you take! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteLynda, I still haven't found the room for a fall garden planting. I do have to replant they mysteriously disappearing bush beans, so I guess that would count as a fall planting. As late as this garden is producing, just about everything in it could be considered fall planting!
ReplyDelete********
Sue, I was surprised it averaged a pound a day. Last night was the first time I brought in the berries and Mr. Granny didn't want a bowl of them. That's OK, maybe I'll get enough frozen for two batches of jam.
********
Robin, just wait until I bring my onions in from the shed and weigh them, not to mention the big ones still growing in the garden. That will teach you to taunt me with your tomatoes :-D
********
Prairie Cat, just wait until you get out on the farm, you'll put my puny harvests to shame :-)
********
Charmcity, thanks. I started with four canes in 2009, now it's difficult to keep them all contained in a 4'x8' bed. I'm not sure how they'd grow in a container, but Prairie Cat (right above you on the comments) is eating berries from her potted one.
********
Sande, thank you! It stated as a good natured contest with a couple of other bloggers in 2009, and I've kept it up as a bit of a hobby. It takes up a lot of time that could be spent on mundane things like housework.
********
Peggy, mine is late to produce because of my early planting...so many things had to be replanted!
You can thank my new black cooktop for the good pictures. It makes a nice background, LOL
You are getting a spectacular raspberry harvest this year. The last picture I saw of your raspberry patch - showed a lush jungle of very happy plants - and obviously they are as the produce is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour harvest this week is wonderful and providing a nice variety of things for meal prep.
Those raspberries look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've got one carrot. Oh well.
There's always next year.
Kitsap, the harvest is improving, but I fear I'll soon be at nothing but carrots and green beans every single day. It will be a long time before the squash, cukes and tomatoes come along, and maybe never for the peppers.
ReplyDelete********
ZZ, one carrot is better than none ;-) Yes, I hope next year is better for all of us. It seems just about everyone is having some failures this year.
Great harvest, Gran. Those beets are beautiful. I was bad about thinning them this spring so much of mine are ready yet. And I still see that you're harvesting lettuce. I'm guessing they are enjoying the shade?
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! They are the size of bats! What a nice harvest(s). Envious of that Raspberry crop!
ReplyDeleteThomas, those were the best of the best on the beets, the remainder haven't done as well. Hopefully, thinning them out by pulling the larger ones will now give them room to grow. The lettuce under the ladder is now bolting and will be pulled to make room for a few seedlings. That's the only lettuce I've lost, four large plants, and it was Iceberg that never did form heads. I still have about six mature heads in the tomato bed, and the semi-shade, netted hoop bed has been planted with seedlings and is coming along well. I hope the few mature heads last us until the seedlings get large enough. I'll be planting a few new seeds in the next week, and use them to fill in as other crops are removed. Last year I harvested just over 45 pounds of lettuce, and this year I'm already over 40 pounds, so I should easily exceed 45!
ReplyDeleteLOL, David! I told you so :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, we are loving the raspberries, and this being their second year of production, have finally given me enough for some jam. I have also promised a granddaughter I'd make Pioneer Woman's Individual Raspberry Cobblers, her favorite raspberry dessert.
You have harvested so much this week. It looks so yummy. The Walla Walla onions look very good. Happy harvest!
ReplyDeleteThe Sage Butterfly, I'm anxious to weigh all the Walla Wallas that are drying in the shed. At last count, I had 52 of them out there, and there are several bigger ones still in the garden.
ReplyDeleteExcellent harvest Granny! I think your green onions and garlic have switched rolls :)
ReplyDeleteDang, granny - thast one carrot has "problems" don't it? Heh. Very nice harvest - especially the raspberries..
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous photos of your harvest. Love the onions against the black background, rhubarb too. But it's all those raspberries that have my mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sage Butterfly!
ReplyDelete********
Dan, the garlic was just planted this spring, so it's actually doing quite well!
********
EG, the raspberries are coming to an end. They sure have been good while they lasted! I'll be picking for about another week I suppose.
********
Lou Murray, I'm glad you like the onion pictures, because I ended up tasking several tonight! As my kids raided my onions, I'd grab them, weigh them and photograph them. I don't know why they didn't all take them at the same time :-)
Yeah, failures happen. I just wish I knew what I did wrong with the carrot so I don't make the same mistake next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh Granny say it ain't so. You are now officially kicking my ass in the garden. Ok maybe by only a couple ounces. Our raspberries are producing now too, but since it is their first year, I'm not getting much. Not surprising since they were bare root plants a month and a half ago. Nothing gets weighed from them. They get eaten as soon as they are ripe. Whoever sees them first picks them. So far I haven't been very observant.
ReplyDeleteZZ, success comes with time. The experiences you have, both good and bad, teach you to be a better gardener. Even us old folks have our failures, but we have enough successes to make it all worthwhile!
ReplyDelete********
Thanks, Ribbit.
********
Daphne, you'll jump ahead of me before long!
First year raspberries, 24 ounces
Second year, 9 1/4 pounds
So far this year, 12 pounds and still picking
You'll get there!
Thanks, I have to remember that, success comes with time.
ReplyDeleteZZ, just remember....if you need help or guidance, there are many here to help you. All you have to do is ask :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what is so great about blogging..there are so many people who have no problem at all with helping a person.
:D
It's much appreciated!
