  1. Day Eleven of cornfest and the ears just keep coming. These have been particularly free of pests and well pollinated this year. It's very much appreciated.😀 🌽

  5. Heat index just hit 109F / ~42C again this afternoon, so it's too hot to got out and pick more tomatoes. Grabbed a big load this morning, but they're coming in faster than we can harvest. BeetBear is asking for a bigger wheelbarrow. ALSO we are now officially no longer in drought conditions.

  7. Wins and losses. While we've had a great year for corn, onions, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans and others, the cucurbits have struggled & the zucchini and cucumbers have given up the struggle entirely. The 2nd planting of mini-cabbage is coming along well in spite of or because of all the rain and dampness. Picture shows the sad remains of the cucumber bed; just baking mud at this point. We move on...

  9. Anybody else trying to help the garden survive the extreme heat by covering the plants? Is this a good idea?
    I used whatever I had, perhaps a mesh fabric might be better?

  11. Ready to harvest some eggplants...
    This year, I grew the eggplants in two 12-liter clay pots, more than enough to harvest...

  13. While the overall pole bean (Kentucky Blue) crop has been good this year, they are now under pressure from the Mexican Bean Beetle (Epilachna varivestis). We've had two years without them but now they're back. I'm using my sticky-stuff-on-a-stick method to try and keep them from doing too much damage.

  15. I found the old recipe for what my father called his "Chili Sauce" but always seemed to me to be a type of chutney or relish. The measurements for tomatoes and onions are by size not volume which seems odd but here's the image of the recipe card if anyone is interested. I think the origin goes back to our roots in Yorkshire in late Victorian times...

  17. We DID pick a few other things today to put out for the neighbors, but mostly worked on getting the onions out on the drying rack, which is really just a ladder and some bamboo canes on horses in the garage. This was our best onion harvest in a long time. Didn't count or weigh anything but they're mostly huge. 😀 🧅

  19. Got all the onions pulled this morning. We're going to be the rest of the day getting them all laid out to dry. They really lived up to their name (Ailsa Craig) this year. Ridiculously fabulous size . 😀 🧅

  21. Almost forgot yesterday's cornfest picture. Another nice meal and we've topped the 100 mark. This concludes the harvest from the first planting and there will now be a short interval until the second planting is ready. (AND it's teeming down with rain here again this morning; so far 2 inches (50mm) in two hours... 😀 🌽

  25. Usually by now, we have our onions all harvested and hung up to dry, but it's been so wet in July that the onions (Ailsa Craig) just kept growing and only just now have begun to flop over. More rain coming tonight and tomorrow, but after that we've got to get these pulled and drying. BeetBear says he's going to need a bigger wheelbarrow! 😀 🧅

  29. Nice little home greenhouse haul just now.

    Eggplants are over charcoal already as I type this.

    These tomatoes are super sweet little berries.

  33. We are delighted to have our daughter home for the weekend, before she has to go back and do professor-y things at the University. This means we can ramp up picking to a higher level for a few days. CornFest day Seven!😀 🌽

  35. Been having rain showers off and on for the last two days so it's been difficult to get out and do any harvesting. This is what we managed this morning. We'll do more corn this afternoon. Daughter coming to visit for the weekend so the cornfest will really expand then. 😀 🌽

  39. Did a lot of picking mid-day today to try and get ahead before the storms roll in again. There were also green beans and cherry tomatoes set out for the neighbors that didn't make the photo. We get mobbed as soon as the cart appears by the road. In other news: It's day number four of CornFest. Still more good eats all around! 😀 🌽
