Another Gardening Report

The first week of August is ending today an the gardening season is also closer to the end than to the beginning. Fruits are gone, except for the grapes and there are veggies that are close to being done as well. I took some photos of what we have right now, so you can see the fruit of our work.

Let's start with some tiny tomatoes 😂. Unfortunately these are not the biggest ones. My dad has already harvested those and made juice.

He took some photos of the biggest ones, so here they are. Sorry for the quality, the photos were not meant for the blog, but I want to show you the beauties of the garden.So the biggest one was 976g, which is 0.976kg. One single tomato 😁.

Personally, I prefer this type of tomatoes as it has a different structure, if I can use this expression. Not that the other is not good, it's jut that this one is easier to slice and looks better as well.

Cherry tomatoes are looking good. These are heavenly good for breakfast, dinner or for salad. You cut them in half and that is all.

These are a bit bigger and very delicious too. Also perfect for raw consumption.

These are also ripen nicely. It's a very delicious type, I already had quite a few.

The truth is, this year was perfect for the tomatoes, we had quit many and the weather was good as well. The season is not over yet, only half of it for the tomatoes, so this week we're making as much juice as possible. Usually we're canning everything that is not consumed raw as wasting is not an option here. With these market prices it would be foolish to throw away good products.

Peppers are preparing to ripe, but they still need two weeks or so. As you can see, I put my gardening nail polish on 😂. The truth is, this green looked kind of good in the bottle, but applied looks like diarrhea 🤣. But never mind, it looks great for gardening. Last time I also used it, but then the tomatoes were still green. Now I thought it would be better to use red, but still decided to stick to green.

These are not small peppers and will be green at the end. Next time I'll be able to show some lovely rd ones. Maybe change my nail polish to red? 🤔

This is a different type and it's better to eat is raw. The skin of the pepper is not so thick, it's easier for the stomach.

Now let's talk about my biggest enemies. This tiny cheeky thing is called apple paprika because it looks like an apple, but it's way smaller. Why is it my enemy? Because it's hot like hell and I hate hot paprika and hot food in general.

This is the other one. Tiny, it's not longer than 2cm and it is considered decorative paprika. You can grow them in a pot in your apartment or balcony, as it looks like a decorative flower, but in fact it's real paprika and it's hot like hell, even hotter than the previous one. So no way I'm going to at this, or the other one. Nooooo way!

This year we had an amazing cucumber harvest, most is canned for winter, so we have pickle for a couple of years. The cucumber season is not over, but it's heading towards the end now.

Eggplants are a gamble each year. What we usually get is low quality, not as tasty as the one you buy from the farmers market. Those are brought from south, where the soil is more sandy. This year however is different as the eggplants we got were very delicious. Maybe the seeds, the type is different.

Celery is looking good as well, ready to be harvested.

This is a huge squash and its not alone, there are several of this size.

A huge pumpkin which will be delicious once the cold kicks in, but not before.

Hazelnuts are getting ready. In two months I think it's harvest time.

Basil is ready to be dried for winter.

Beetroots are huge this year. These are also a gamble each year, but looks like this year is a winner.

Onions are already harvested and drying. This is the yellow one, but we have white and red ones as well.

And these are my dirty rubber boots as it was raining in the afternoon and the asphalt in the garden is soft 😂
