Not much to report this week...I almost didn't post...but then decided that any harvest is better than no harvest at all! So...yay for 4 pounds!!! I'm still hoping to make the 200 pound mark before the end of this year.
Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

MMM... my maters are teeny tiny so ripe is GOOD even if they are garage ripe. :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! You are close to the satisfaction of reaching your 200 lb goal!
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your tomatoes. We are almost out of fresh tomatoes and soon it will be on to all those canned jars in our cellar. --S
ReplyDeleteIts especially worth talking about if you use it on homemade ravioli! Really interesting mix of fillings.
ReplyDeleteEven though the flavor is not as good, it's always nice to have the green tomatoes ripening long after the plants are gone.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very nice harvest for this time of year. At least the tomatoes might taste a little better because they're ripening quickly.
ReplyDeleteBarbie - You're right! Garage ripe IS still ripe ;-)
ReplyDeleteBrie - So close! Fingers definitely crossed!
Shanon - Thank you! I'm envious of all your canned tomatoes! Your pantry inspires me!
Liz - YES! There's not much better than homemade ravioli...especially with fresh sauce!
