  5. Wow when you see it all laid out like that it is so much. Your daily harvest beats my weekly harvest. I think it must be the gnomes. Are they helping you garden? I need to get myself a good gnome.

  6. Jackie, LOL! That green stuff is my first batch of pickle relish. I got a bit carried away with the food coloring ;-)

  7. Show off!!!! Ok....really, that is quite impressive to see, all laid out like that. The gnome thing is pretty messed up, though. You've got problems granny.....real problems. :-)

  8. EG, I have a third gnome out in the garden somewhere. He's the magic gnome ;-)

  9. Wow, all those beautiful tomatoes. Lettuce still too, you really have mad veggie gardening skills!

  10. Dan, the lettuce was just planted recently. I'm surprised it germinated, let alone grew in this heat! I actually have a few heads of Romaine that are nearly large enough to eat.

  11. Your harvests are so impressive AG! and everything is so colourful and healthy. You've pretty much collected a person's weight of veggies in one week! Truly inspirational =)

  12. 83 pounds for this past week!!! Wow! That's almost 30% of your harvest for 2009.

    Just incredible Granny! Wish I could be there to walk around your incredible garden with you!

  13. It really is over the top. I'm amazed you can eat it all, to tell you the truth. Are you running a secret soup kitchen? Do the neighbors pretend they don't see you and keep their cars locked? Impressive!

  14. LOL, Stefaneener. In the last two days, my two boys have probably left with 15 pounds of fresh food, plus jars of jam and/or relish. John went out with a bag of green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash and sweet relish, Scott was here tonight for jam and some basil to go with the tomatoes he took yesterday. And Mr. H has a big appetite ;-)

    But I have to admit, I'm having to spend more time picking, cooking, canning and preserving and less time blogging right now.
