Harvest Time 2009

First, here are our Halloween pictures. Semaj was trying to win the costume contest at work with his super creative costume, but they chose lame winners.


Here are some of the things that we were able to grow this last year.

This was the only good watermelon we got. We actually didn't expect to get anything, but then we did!


This is some of our early tomatoes.

Butternut squash


Banana Squash



We even had an inspector come and check out our produce. He was a pretty happy guy.

He tried to be very thorough.


(You can see most of our 25 pumpkins in the background)


He even taste tested on occasion.


This is what we were able to store besides the squash that I didn't take a storage picture of.

Top: Mulberry jam, Strawberry Applesause, & Salsa
Bottom shelf: Green Beans, Tomatoes, Regular Applesause, Pears, & Apple Pie Filling(still from 2008)




Top shelf: Mulberry Puree, Pears, & Grape Juice
Bottom: Green beans and Tomatoes

We also dried a few gallon bags of pears and apples.

Totally impressive! You make me and my one sorry tomato plant look really pitiful.
Plus, you have a really, really cute produce inspector. I love his dedication to the job--even taste testing!

way to go!!! That is awesome you utilized your garden so well! We had a lot go to waste his past year. It was our first year planting a garden and I really had no idea what to expect. But thanks for the great inspiration!

Woah. You have a money tree? Awesome!

Know what else is awesome? You. I'm so impressed, and clearly your produce inspector is too. I could just eat him up! (But I won't. I'll eat your apple pie filling instead. Yum.)
