Popcorn Harvest

These 3 guys are popcorn ears. They are naturally smaller than normal
sweet corn ears. Now I have to hang them in a mesh bag and let them dry for 2 months.

Waiting for the Red Pepper

See the hose? I really hardly had to water the garden this year.

This guy us suppose to be a Red Bell Pepper. It is huge and beautiful
but it is not red. I'll Leave it on the plant and keep waiting.

Yellow or Orange Bell Peppers. We'll be patient and wait. 
Rory planted more Lettuce in the beginning of the month.
Mid October we should have more lettuce.

Pop! Corn. At this point I'm waiting for the plant to
start dring up so I can harvest the cobs.

We made sauce from my tomatoes!!

We roughly had just over 3 pounds of usable tomatoes.
(not all shown here)
We scored and cut stems out before blanching.

We blanched the tomatoes and the skins practically fell off.

Used a food mill.

Results of the food mill before seasoning.


Important part of cooking.


Cooked for hours.
It looks like sauce.
It was great! Can't wait to try again.
