Harvest Monday - July 23, 2012
I didn't harvest too much last week. The tomatoes in the community garden is starting to brown but there are still a lot of green tomatoes. I'm going to try fertilizing to see if I can keep it alive long enough for the tomatoes to ripen. I did harvest one mortgage lifter - it was cracked a little from all the rain we got last week but it looks nice and plump. The longhorn peppers are turning bright red. They are beautiful and also really spicy. I don't really know what to do with them. My first thought is to dry them and make pepper powder.
The basil is thriving and getting large. I transfered some of the plants so they have more space to grow. I harvested a bowlful to make some pesto. I just love the smell of fresh basil.
I'm linking to the weekly Harvest Monday hosted by Daphne to share my mini-harvest.

Those are really beautiful peppers and I take it they are a nice hot variety? The basil is gorgeous too. I love the smell of fresh basil and sometimes just pinch off a leaf while in the garden and crush it between my finger tips so I can enjoy the scent while out working in the garden. :D
ReplyDeleteThe peppers are super spicy!
DeleteOh what beautiful peppers I can imagine they looked great growing in the garden. Basil is the scent of summer and who doesn't love pesto.
ReplyDeleteThey are really pretty. I like to watch them turn from green to red!
