Harvest Monday 06-13-11

It's MONDAY and that means another time to celebrate what is happening in our gardens with HARVEST MONDAY on Daphne's Dandelions.

This week I enjoyed my first ever harvest of soybeans. They quickly became EDAMAME!!!


I also had my first harvest ever of Cherokee Trail of Tears beans. Now... all the beans I planted were black but ... as you can see... some of the beans harvested were white. I knew something was wrong when one plant had white flowers but all the others had beautiful lavender flowers. I bought these seeds from a company online. Annie's Granny sent some to me that I will plant later this summer for a fall harvest. Although this was a small harvest, the amount will be add a nice touch to our supper tonight of MEXICAN PILE-ON.


I also harvested my first tomato of the year. My okra continues to produce. The okra loves the hot, dry weather!!

    Those Cherokee beans sounds and looks interesting..I'd like to add them to my "Beans and Rice " dishes.

    I planted some Trail of Tears also this year. I can't wait to see what they look like. There are so many beautiful beans out there.

    Congrats on you first tomato of the season!!

    Soybean, now why didn't I think of that? We love edamame around here. I haven't checked in with you recently - did you end up saving some seeds from your super productive tomatoes (cherry kind, I think) last year? I'm looking forward to hearing about the Next Generation! :-)

    I love how seeds get passed around. The Trail of Tears beans you have were passed to Granny by me. And I got them from the Ottawa Gardener. I wonder how far the chain will end up going.

    I've never grown soy beans however. Maybe someday I'll try them.
