harvest time. And today I’m going to try and fit everything into one basket. Starting with corn. Oh my gosh, that is gorgeous. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. This is the best harvest of corn. Oh my goodness. Moving on to cucumbers. And this is a double yield. Rosland white and white heron. Moving on to tomatoes and these are called Berkeley tie-dye. Wow. Yeah, that’s a pretty big split, but that’s okay. The rest of the tomato is going to be perfect. Yes. Pineapple, Hawaiian, Jersey Devil, Black Crim, and this one’s starting to blush down here. And one more black crim. That’s an interesting tomato. That’s a baby cuc melon shimmer. Black cherry. Chocolate cherry. Sunold and ground cherries. We’re actually under a heat advisory because it feels like 111 outside. Good thing my basket is full. I’m going inside.

  1. woah!!! ground cherries!! my family is ecuadorian, and i’ve eaten these all my life (we call them uvillas, in fact they were so abundant that my great grandparents considered them weeds, but that didn’t stop my grandfather from eating them!). so excited that this delicious little fruit is being grown by gardeners in the states!

  2. I grew up in Iowa in cornfields and I’d say you are doing a great job with your corn! We always cooked ours with the husk on on the grill. πŸ™‚

  3. Iam so glad that you finally got a great crop of corn, like you tell us not always will things turn out good and you have had a great garden this year glad for you ❀❀😊

  4. ALWAYS PICK YOUR TOMATOES WITH THE STEM ON. THEY LAST LONGER AND ALWAYS REMAIN FRESH. WITHOUT A STEM THEY LOSE THEIR MOISTURE AND RICHNESS

  5. Oooh if you cut some of the corn silk when it's young you can boil it to make tea. And you can eat young corn silk if you want, not my favorite personally but I know people who love it as a snack after they make their tea.

  6. What kind of corn varieties do you grow, if you don't mind me asking? Any MD Eastern Shore Silver Queen in there? 😊
