  1. You pulled out a lot of your tomato plants, but your harvest doesn't seem to slow down at all. You still have baskets of tomatoes. I can't believe your strawberries are still going so well. I'll have to think about everbearing strawberries.

  2. Daphne, just make sure they are day neutral strawberries. Some everbearing just bear twice a season, the day neutral bear constantly.

  4. It is always such a pleasure visiting your blog Annie, you have such an abundance of crops, and all so delicious looking. (Oh and I like the pose with Annie!)

  5. Heskie, the amount of food I've taken from this garden has exceeded my expectations. Actually, had I been diligent about succession planting, and not in a hurry to remove the squash and pumpkin vines, it could have been much more. If I had waited for the potatoes to mature, they would have weighed twice as much (but not been half as good tasting). I have kept a spreadsheet this year, of just how much I harvested of each crop. It's rather surprising, as my garden really isn't all that large.
