Todays Pickings/eatings

Yay Grandpa Bob you are always making something really yummy that comes from your garden. We have some tomatoes that are just getting ripe as well as some basil. I picked one green tomato that has not ripened. I may switch it to a sunnier location. This has not been a great year for the garden plus I havent done any weeding so it doesnt help.

We had late breakfast of eggs and sausage so lunch don't even sound good now. As for dinner we will have maybe tuna salad sandwiches, that is something good on such a hot day. Now I will go look at your picture of your veggies. :)

You did an absolutely amazing job. Everything looks terrific, and oh so fresh! I am going to go to the Farmer's Market Wednesday morning to see if I can find some fresh veggies. The ones at our local Walmart Supercenter just aren't as good as I'd like them to be. How much do you estimate you saved by growing your own food in your own garden?

Nice harvest you have there! I don't have much in the garden this time around-- your basic herbs (parsley, chives, thyme), but apart from that, fall is "the season" around here, when the blackberries ripen, and then there will be lots of apples and pears, later.

I don't live where I can have any kind of garden. However, I went to a friend's house last week and she loaded me up with all kinds of home grown veggies. I jsut finished off a bowl of soup made from some of them! I still have fresh potatoes and squash to make soup with. All the cucumbers and tomatoes are eaten already!

hi friend its lovely to hear that you have a hobby as gardening , i too have it but today i cannot pick any vegetables from my garden as all of them are very small and need to grow a little more , but donot worry i will let you when i will pick them , ok , happy mylotting ,

Good for you. Maybe we should be calling you Farmer Bob instead of Grandpa Bob. It is so much fun and tasty too when you can go out in your yard and pick some yummies. Fresh homegrown is the best. Yes we have picked a few things. Happy Farming.

We miss you here on myLot. Come for a visit.

Your veggies look so good. I went to walmart today and bought some iceburg lettuce and green onions. I have the tomatoes and green peppers from my own garden. I made myself a large salad today for lunch.

Oh how I wish I could come for lunch at your house!!! You did well again this year you always do such a fabulous gardening job. Looking good!!!

I've been enjoying blackberries, raspberries, and yellow wax beans from my garden this week. The strawberries, of course, are done for the season. I should be having a tomato or two in the next couple days, to go with the lettuce.

Well it sounds like your garden is doing good inspite of the lack of rain and the cooler temps! You are very lucky and so is your family! Woo Hoo! I don't have a garden but will vist the farmers market soon...I'm having mac and cheese with hotdogs for supper....the granddaughter is staying overnight! lOL

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Nothing like a tasty home grown veggie, you have a lovely crops there for your dinner, tattylashes is growing her veggies too and sent me some of her lovely beans, they were so fresh and tasty, I have eatr some raw, so you enjoy yours, you deserve it. Tamara

My father really loves gardening so we have a lot of fresh and organic fruits and vegies in our garden. Everyday we will picked in our garden and make some soup out of it.

Thaty is wonderful. I wish we had room enough where we live to grow a bigger garden with more variety of things to eat and choose from. We have only ate tomatoes, green onions and leaf lettuce from ours. That is all we have.

I love free veggies from the garden you should invite me to dinner I do not have a garden wished I did.

Hi Webeishere, I am so jealous! You veggies look great!I did not plant a veggie garden this year because my hubby and I are in the process of buying a house. Hoping that the closing will be in the next week or so. I do have a couple of pot going, one tomato, one green bean. Last year we had ow own mini farm going with lettuce,green and purple cabbage,carrots, broccoli,cauliflower,2 green and yellow squash, cukes, green and yellow beans, 3 types tomatoes, yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes, corn, lopes, watermelon and pumpkin. I think that was all. We will be putting in a huge garden at the new place as well. Bot, do I miss going out to the garden and picking out the veggies for that nights dinner. Thanks for sharing your picture and your garden. Happy growing and happy eating!

Looking good there Grandpa Bob! I don't have a garden this year and it is showing. Unless you count green olives as a veggie I have not had any today and I have had no fruit except processed fruit. Email me some of those veggies, so I can eat healthier. LOL

That looks delicious! I remember picking carrots in Grandma's garden, wiping off the dirt on my jeans and eating it as I picked some more. I wish my carrots had come up! You do have a green thumb, I guess that comes as you get experience.

I do not have a garden or farm, so that I eated will be bought in the market. Sometimes, I want to have a small garden which have kinds of vegetables. I would like to pick something in it for lunch or dinner.
