The SOL Farm: September Harvest

September Harvest

This is a picture of the latest harvest basket and was loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatillos, baby leeks, kale, swiss chard, basil, thyme, rosemary, sage, tarragon, squash, beans, and some lovely nasturtiums.

This is the next stage to our lovely seeding artichoke, I believe we will soon harvest for seeds!

Some of our full shareholders received squash in their baskets.

These beauties actually turn yellow when they are ripe, and we harvested a ton! Neat fact: Little yellow tomatoes are actually a great way of deterring birds/birds that will eat your crops!

Squash in full baskets remind me of baby pumpkins!! So adorable and lovely, hmmm I would have loved one of these stuffed with some quinoa and herbs from my basket!

Our bean quality control on duty and working hard as usual!

Out lovely mix of beautiful tomatoes all heirloom varieties and did I mention delicious!!

This is a picture of Eightball squash and some corn that we have our fingers crossed that they will produce...

Lovely produce, beets and carrots oh how we love these roasted in the oven or fresh too!

Baby Wallawalla onions... I don't imaging the rest will get much larger this year... :(

This is a neighbouring pumpkin that is doing fantastic, and is a little reminder that Halloween is on the way!!

There are some lovely community gardens that surround the SOLfarm and is so wonderful to watch all the gardens grow. In this picture there is actually a type of hold growing on the squash plants that could actually affect the rest of the neighbouring tomatoes if not properly taken care of and disposed.....finger crossed! We have been cleaning up the garden and just have so much fun planting and growing new foods! Like the picture below!

This is a picture of Ocra, I have never planted or even tried to grow this is just a sample plot/ trial run and it is so beautiful! Whew knew it had such a gorgeous flower on it too! I hope it fruits!!
