Before I left I picked the pineapple that was growing in the pot. I was falling over and about to break off the stem so I picked it. It still had a lot of green on it so we left it sit out on the counter while we were gone. Here is what we came home to:
Here is a view of the garden from an angle over the strawberry bed.
Some of the strawberry plants are blooming and it looks like I might get a few berries this winter. This variety, Tribute, is supposed to bear in the late fall and then again in spring.
When I left last weekend my lettuce and spinach was still real small. Now they are much bigger and ready for some serious harvesting. Some of the spinach leaves are huge.
One of my new beds with cabbage, carrots, and beets.
The purple beans are getting some blooms on them.
Some of the Cherokee Purple tomatoes are getting very large and should soon start ripening up.
The broccoli is starting to form little heads in the center. There is nothing like fresh steamed broccoli. It is one of my favorite vegetables.
The zucchini is doing well with flowers beginning to develop.
The snap peas are climbing up the trellis and the chard needs to be thinned between the pea rows.
I need to add a the top to my tomato cage for the Beef Master tomato in this pic. That variety was one of the tastiest and largest I have ever grown last spring. The variety is very vigorous.
My pole beans grew way over the tops of the trellises and the pak choy is getting mature enough to pick some. Looks like stir fry will be on the menu soon.
That's all for now. Gotta get unpacked and things ready for work tomorrow.
