Beans, Greens, Potatoes, Tomatoes!
Climbing The Ladder
We picked 28.6 lbs of tomatoes and 9 ears of corn today, and had to whip out the ladder to get to the Cherries. That takes us up to 334.9 pounds, which humbly, is only about the size of an offensive lineman. We’ve definitely peaked, but we should see at least fifty more pounds from these plants.

Silver Queen
We picked our first corn today, 8 ears, along with 43.41 lbs of tomatoes. Yee Haw!
Tomatoes and Drones
It was a very sunny day so the footage is a bit washed out, but still gives a cool scenic perspective on where we garden. A big shout out and thank you to our neighbors for shooting it. Maybe we can bribe them with some more ‘maters…and try part deux.

Holy Moses!

Pushin’ Fifty
Yep we sure are, and so did tonight’s pickings. This is the peak spring batch weighing in at a hefty 48.63 lbs, and taking the harvest total to 219.58 lbs. Now that’s some tomatoes, y’all.
Bright Sunshiny Day
Summertime and the pool is calling. This is the second biggest batch so far weighing in at 37.14 lbs, minus of course all those Super Sweets Tracey ate while pickin’ ’em.
Six and a half gallons
That’s 26 quarts to you and me, and that’s how many we canned yesterday. We also picked another 21.75 pounds. We’ve got some weeding to do before we give you a quick video tour, we’re doing a taste test tonight, and a good friend and fellow gardener is taking some drone footage this weekend, so please stay tuned.

Better Boy’s are Bigger Boy’s
At least this one is. Wow!
Say goodbye to double digits.
The rain brought needed relief, but also, quite a bit of leaf blight. We trimmed off what we could to try and stop the spreading, but it’s just the nature of the game. We’ll be pulling up these plants in about six weeks, so we’re not worried about aesthetics now. The plants are about 10 feet tall and still putting on fruit.
Cherry Delight!
All 6.9 lbs of them.
Ding Ding Ding!
The new heavyweight champion of the backyard is…Big Beef. Weighing in at .78 lbs!
Note the pock marks from our April hail.
Lights, Camera, Action!
This is a video of the May 25th harvest. We planned to pick another big batch today but we had some heavy rains, which were sorely needed. It was the fourth driest May on record here in N. Texas, and May is our wettest month.
It’s best to let the tomato leaves dry to avoid causing or spreading blight, so we’ll wait until tomorrow. Until then, let us know what you think in the comments.
