It's that time of year again. Harvest is nearing. Many garden vegetables are ready to eat now and they are very tasty.
A bit of patience will yield a bigger harvest, and I will be leaving some in the ground, but there's no point depriving myself and my husband of tender, sweet carrots.
The yellow beans have been producing like mad. I lost many of them to an early season hailstorm. Those that survived are doing their best to make up for the loss.
The potatoes in the photo are courtesy my FIL. He's been supplying us with tomatoes, green beans, and carrots.
I am grateful for a great many things this week, but if I had to pick one I'd say it is the taste of a carrot, barely washed and straight from the dirt.

words to live my week by.
I agree with Miz!
Why thank you, Miz.
And you, too, Tabor.
Fresh vegetables from the garden are the greatest. Stuff from the store is like cardboard.
Red, too true. There's no comparison.
Oh, yum. How i wish i could grow things.
Love your take on patience.
Messymimi, it is regrettable you can't. Thanks.
I totally agree - there's just nothing like garden-fresh produce!
Thanks, Bag Lady. It's the best.
hmm, wonder if I should pull a carrot and see if they are ready...it's the only thing I am trying to grow this year, so I hope they are good ;)
I'm hoping that by this time next year, I can report something similar. For now, I'll drool over your harvest.
