Today's Harvest

I harvested the rest of my carrots left over from spring this morning. It was great. 
 I believe these are the Red Cored Chantenay variety since they are shorter and stocky.


 Earlier in the week I harvested some Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes from a friends garden, a cucumber from my garden and another one of those "I think it might be a cucumber, but its so yellow?!?". The Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes were a surprise, because they came from a tomato plant I blessed her with earlier this year. It was from the batch of tomato plants I grew from seed, but didn't mark properly. That seems to be the story of this season for me! A lot has been marked incorrectly. I have to admit though, that I think I'll be "mis-marking" on purpose next year...because this is fun!


After harvesting, I went ahead and seeded one of my garden beds with a cereal rye as a compost crop. I choose mine from Bountiful Gardens. Its an overwintering variety, and I'm guessing that means I compost it next spring? Feel free to comment if that is not correct :)
