Todays veggie harvest looks so pretty. What can I make out of this? (Tomatoes, yellow squash and eggplant).
This morning I see my fall planted peas are up and I have baby beans formed on my bean towers. This year I am growing two varieties of french fillet beans for the first time.
I have read so much about how good the french fillet types taste. So I tasted a few even though they are small and they are so good. They taste like string beans full of flavor. But tender and sweet. These are going to be really good. Thing is if I pulled a common String bean this young, it really wouldn't have much flavor. These French Fillet Beans are going to be a big success with me, I think.
I have these on my "bean towers". Really just two extra sturdy and tall tomato cages that I decided would be perfect for beans. Most of the french fillet types I have seen are bush beans but I wanted pole beans. So I finally found both a burgundy and a yellow french fillet pole and those are what I have growing.
Raining slightly this morning but I pulled up three of my squash. Two Buckingham yellow zucchini plants which just don't look thrifty at this point. Not my favorites anyway, might not be returned next year. And one of the Golden Egg yellow squash. I had not intended to pull that Golden Egg but had no choice. The stem completely broke and you could see why what with the SVB eaten center stem.
I do have some yellow squash seedlings of one called Safron. So I will plant those out in the pots and reuse them. Those were the two types of yellow squash seeds I bought this spring from Burpee, Safron and Golden Egg. I just love the Golden Egg so want to try out the Safron also.
