Harvest Monday - October 27, 2014

The "summer" bounty is dwindling quickly. I harvested some peppers last week but no tomatoes and it's been ages since I harvested eggplant. Only three photos of peppers this week.

Odessa Market, Lady Bell, Stocky Red Roaster, and Piment doux long des Landes

I nearly cleaned out all of the Tarahumara Chile Colorado peppers. Some of them have been smoked and dried (a process that I blogged about this weekend), and the rest are going into the dehydrator today.

Tarahumara Chile Colorado and Topepo Rosso

Padron peppers and Green Fingers cucumbers

The cucumbers are incredibly prolific still. I made a big batch of blue cheese dip last week with the notion that cucumber batons would be the perfect vehicle for transporting it to the mouth - yum. But there's just so much cucumbers and dip a couple of people can eat in a week. The refrigerator overfloweth with cukes...

This is nearly the final harvest of Australian Butter and Emerite filet beans, I stripped just about every bean off of the vines.

The Di Ciccio broccoli keeps putting out shoots, I harvested two bunches like this.

Also harvested but not photographed were a couple more Tromba d'Albenga squash, one of which went into a tomato coconut curry with beans, sweet peppers, and Sablefish. Another Tromba squash went into a couple more Scarpaccia (Savory Zucchini Tart). I also harvested the last of the radishes other than the Watermelon radishes which are still sizing up. The radishes were also good vehicles for transporting blue cheese dip. And I finally weighed the dry Petaluma Gold Rush beans.

Here's the harvests for the past week:

Australian Butter beans - 1 lb., .7 oz.
Emerite Filet beans = 2.4 oz.
Petaluma Gold Rush dry beans - 7 lb., .4 oz.
