The okra plants finally produced enough in one picking to make a quart of okra pickles with Serrano peppers.
More Calypso's, some beans, and a few strawberries. The strawberries have been small and many are lost to birds or insects.
On Sunday I got a nice harvest. That's a Grandma's Pick tomato in the foreground.
Now over 200 pounds for the year, with the star producer being the five cucumber plants at 62 pounds. In second place, the potatoes - 32 pounds of Red Pontiac and 12.5 pounds of Kennebec. To see what other people are growing, head on over to http://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/

You have to be the cucumber growing champ this year. 62 pounds from 5 plants. Calypso is on my list for next year for sure. And nice potato harvest.
I agree with David! I'm impressed with your Calypso cucumbers. I definitely want to give those a try. Your potato harvest is awesome too. They ought to keep you well fed for months.
Wow - I definitely have more than 5 cucumber plants and I don't think I've even hit 4 pounds yet. For some reason, my cucumbers aren't doing that well this year compared to last - not sure if its the bed they are in or what. Those are a lot of potatoes - do both of those varieties store well? We really love potatoes around here & I'm growing a few that are supposed to be good in storage, but I won't know until I test that out this winter. It would be nice to add potatoes to the list of food we don't have to shop for anymore.
As everyone else has said - Wow to the Calypso cucumber. That's incredible! You could sell them to a store and till have plenty for yourself :)
What a great cucumber harvest. Last year I hit 60 pounds of cukes. I'm so glad to have less this year. But I could use a few more than I got. I'm never satisfied I guess. Though if I could have succeeded in all my fermentation attempts I think it would have been enough cucumbers, but no I just have one two quart jar of pickles. I'd like two of them.
OK I don't want Calypso - I could not imagine what I would do with that many cukes!! But I sure would like your spuds ...
