First Harvest this year!

[monkeybird]

I'm so excited! After 3 years of trying this is the first successful harvest I've had. Enough to feed the 3 of us several times. There are still blossoms on the vine.

I have about a dozen green tomatoes that are growing large, so hopefully they will be successful this year. The white acre peas are full of blossoms also.

I may have ruined my squash. I was so worry about white fungus (I've suffered that on the squash 2 years in a row) that I looked for a preventive. I found someone on the internet that swore by a mixture of milk, baking soda and dish detergent. After spraying, the plants dropped over the next day. After I dried my tears, I'd planned to pull them us this weekend. Well, today they seem to be producing new leave. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Don't trust the internet.

Anyway, today I'm enjoying my success!

Congrats!! I haven't even planted yet. The temps just got normalized again after that early warm spell it started frosting again until recently...I will be planting soon.

What type/variety are your beans?

Dont feel bad monkeybird, we've been having the same problem with fungus too. It took out our squash, zuccini. and is working on the cucumbers. And the white flies are horriable this year. We tried different types of fungus stoppers but it kept coming back(some just killed the plants). Totaly ruined my summer.

Wow, great looking green beans, nice job!

I am jealous of everyone who is already harvesting items from their gardens. Out here, we are just getting our's going. My tomatoes are growing, but no blossoms as of yet. As for the rest of my garden, well the bulk garden soil I had delivered is not that great, so I am going to scrap what I have planted, amend the soil and while I am amending the soil I will plant new starts indoors.

Enjoy your harvest!

They look like the same bean we plant- Roma. GREAT yields from these. We have a 50 x 60 area (roughly) in them now and another one almost that size further towards the back 40 that the deer are snacking on.

Great job MB! We'll be canning a pile of these in the next couple weeks.

Looks good. Post more pics as you continue to harvest. Nothing like fresh produce on your plate.
