Perspective

It isn’t always obvious how big one plant is compared to another. This week I thought I would try to add some perspective, by inserting a can of Mountain Dew into some of the shots. Hopefully that gives you an idea of the scale.

This was another stellar week for harvesting. We had to call in the neighbors to help. We can’t keep up anymore. Sure, we could keep canning things, but that’s a lot of work too. It’s nice to have people we can just give things to, knowing that it will be used.

Picked this week:
300 Roma Tomatoes
300 Cherry Tomatoes (I’m too lazy to pick more than 300/week)
40 Orange Plum Tomatoes
20 Yellow Pear Tomatoes (I’m too lazy to pick very many)
10 Armenian Cucumbers
25 Eggplant (It was a great week for eggplant)
40 Banana Peppers
30 Anaheim/Big Jim Peppers
30 Jalapeno Peppers
15 Bell Peppers
5 Poblano Peppers
20 Blackberries (They’re just about done for the year)
8 Onions
2 bunches of Grapes
