Today's Harvest

My fall crop has been started or seeded but that's of no consequence to the late Summer vegetables still going strong in the August sun. Most of my 12 tomato plants have produced at least one nice ripe tomato but I do have a couple that are either on their way out or have an abundance of green tomatoes forming, ready to ripen. This is the beauty of strategically planting heirloom varieties that harmonize throughout the season and keep the fruit coming from late June through November. The peppers, eggplant, corn, and potatoes are still maturing and will be harvested over the next couple months. The vegetables pictured practically beg to be made in to the humble but now famous French peasant dish, ratatuoille.
