Harvests

Cosmo seeds


Blue Lake Pole beans are still growing well. I like that it has both yellow and white flowers on the same plant.


And I let some dry out, so I will have seeds for next year.


Here are the seeds that I harvested so far this year. I hope I'll have enough seeds to share this year with other members of Seed Savers. I would need at least 25-30 seeds for each order. Right now I have about 200 seeds.


Ancho San Luis peppers


Brandywine OTV and Croatia

Photos from 8-8-08

This is the largest harvest of strawberries, so far this year. Variety is Albion.


Bunch of tomatoes again. The bottom most is Caspian Pink, the first one this season. Other varieties shown are Orange Strawberry, Brandywine O.T.V., Brandywine from Croatia, and lots of Anna Russians. Oh yeah, there are 3 small Roma-style. I'm not sure what the variety is. I thought I wast planting Polish Linguisa, but these are not that variety.

Freakish tomatoes

The sunflowers leaves are being chewed on, but I'm sure the seeds are developing nicely anyway.

This is a flower from a leek. The variety is Prizetaker. If you look at the bigger image you can see a little bee on the purple flowers.


I harvested many tomatoes today. I thought I would start you off with the normal looking ones and then get to the freaks. This is Brandywine O.T.V. (Off the Vine) with a potato leaf. It is the only red variety I planted this year.


Brandywine from Croatia. They are pink with a regular leaf. It is a rare variety, only available from Santa Clara Master Gardeners. I hope to save seeds from it, so I can grow from my own seeds.


Anna Russian. By far, the most productive of my tomatoes so far this year.


Now some of the freaks. This is Ed's Millennium. I picked one normal looking tomato and a crazy looking monster tomato. I have more pictures below.


It doesn't look so scary on the plant.


On the food scale it weighs 1 pound, 8.5 ounces. That's a big tomato!!!


Freak!

One of the Anna Russian's is looking a little bit like an alien too. I'm sure they will taste great.
