Tomatoes of several varieties are busting out of the vines. This morning 3,511g. That's three and a half kilos or 7.74 pounds! Tomato sauce a-coming.
The Great Potato Feast
Here is the story. Two seasons ago I threw a few potato eyes in a couple of my beds, and more in my compost. I harvested about ten pounds of potatoes at the end of the season. This past spring I did not plant any potatoes. Lo and behold, their foliage started showing up and growing, as shown here:
In one of my new raised beds in the penitentiary.In the wagon garden.
In my window garden.
A few days ago I scraped this off the wagon garden:
The big one weighs almost a quarter kilo, 227g. Today I saw two other potatoes popping out of the soil in the window garden and I plucked them, here shown with the other harvests of the morning:More beans, more carrots, more tomatoes and more of my mutated zucchini.
The tomatoes are coming on strong, heirloom and friends shown here. So far I have harvested 2,327g of tomatoes; made three batches of tomato sauce and frozen one. I will be keeping track of the potatoes by weight as well.
More Tomatoes
This morning I came from the garden with this catch:
The tomatoes weighed 1744g; the beans 704g.
Total tomatoes so far 3318g.
