I’m not feeling too hot this weekend, so I’m just going to show you what I’ve been harvesting. This is Part 1 of 2; what I bought and harvested. Part 2 – what I’m doing with them – will hopefully arrive tomorrow.
So this blackberry plant up against the deck has been rather prolific, as if it senses the end of the season.
Just today, it gave me all of these.
None of those were ripe yesterday, and I can see even now, a couple of hours later, some of the ones I didn’t pick are getting closer to ripe.
This Melrose Pepper is aaaalmost there.
Maybe tomorrow? You can eat them green; I just want to try a fully red one first.
These aren’t all of the bell peppers or tomatoes I bought from the farmers market. Merely a sample. The herbs are from my deck planter, and the cucumbers will go in the slow brine in the pickling crock.
Don’t forget about peaches! Peaches aplenty at the farmers market this week.
Peaches don’t really come from a can, even if sometimes later they were put there by a man.
I’ve always thought onions were visually interesting. In the skin, they give a hint of the layers underneath.
What have you been harvesting lately? Any interesting farmers market purchases?
Ah, I’m going to miss all these food posts in the winter, when it’s time to eat things I’ve preserved and talk about drier subjects such as making your house more energy efficient as you heat it. I suspect there won’t be nearly as many chances to photograph and write about food then, but we’ll see.
