Harvest Monday

Here goes another Harvest Monday post. Below is a collection of harvests since my last post. The garden is still chugging along and I am happy to have beans coming in again. It has still been really dry, the only good news is the temperature has cooled a bit.

 Dragon Tongue Beans.
 Tomatoes starting at the left: Sudduth's Strain Brandywine, Kellogg's 
Breakfast, Pink Berkley Tie Dye and Better Boy.
 Slicing Cucumbers.
 Black Summer F1 Pac Choi, Pink Berkley Tie Dye Tomato and
Dragon Tongue Beans.
 Kellogg's Breakfast Tomatoes. They have been a real performer this year!
 Purple Podded & Blue Lake Pole Beans.
 Slicing Cucumbers and Better Boy Tomatoes.
More Dragon Tongue Beans... They are an excellent producer
and in my opinion the best tasting bean.
In other news I started a bunch of fall crops in pots a while ago and they are just about ready to plant in the garden. The polytunnel has also been all cleaned up and it is ready to go in the garden. I'll be planted everything this week so I'll get a post up about the fall stuff later this week.

    What a gorgeous selection of tomatoes! Brandywine will ALWAYS be my favorite--but it's neat to see so many varieties!

    Do you grow a bush or a pole variety of dragon tongue? They always look so pretty.

    Great harvest. My Dragon Tongue beans are producing like crazy right now too. Kids really love them. Your variety of tomatoes is lovely.

    Really nice looking tomatoes. Haven't tried Dragon Tongues yet. Usually I have about 6 kinds of beans growing all over but had terrible germination issues this year, some kind of rotting.

    Nice Dragon beans. I'll have some to pick in about a week and am looking forward to them.

    Great variety of tomatoes coming from your veggie garden. Nice mix of produce coming out of your gardent too. Sounds like the season extenders are set to go and the transplants ready to go into the ground. I need to reseed some of the direct sown fall lettuces as the first attempt did not have good germination. Better get at it soon I can feel fall in the shortening days and cooler mornings.

    What a great harvest. You've done well considering the challenging weather we've all had this year. I do like the Blue Lake pole beans, they are just so prolific.

    So many varieties and very colourful harvest!
    I would like to try growing dragon tongue bean after looking at your harvest.

    I'm looking at this blog so close to lunch, and not only is it making me hungry - but now I don't really want to bring the lunch I brought. My spaghetti would be so much better with some of these added in.

    I love those 'dragon tongue' beans! I wish I had some seeds. I've never seen them for sell on the Polish market.
