The Adventures of Grandma and Grandpa: September 2011

We were blessed with another huge crop of just about anything you can think of this year, and it's not over yet.
Besides all the fruit that we have every year, we grew vegetables galore! This worked out nicely as Gma and I have been dieting some, and fruits and veggies are a BIG part of the plan we are on. We have fruit salad nearly every night and it seems as one fades out, another takes it's place.
Vegetables and fruits (besides the fruit trees) grown this year include tomatoes, green beans that we needed to pick every day, snap peas, cucumbers, carrots, beets, radishes, several varieties of squash, onions, watermelon, honeydew Mellon, cantaloupe, and pumpkins. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
I have a new hydroponic project in which I'm growing lettuce and cabbage that I just started planting. In addition to that I have 2 other hydroponic systems not including the one in the greenhouse. Presently there are pumpkins, watermelons, cucumbers, cantaloupes, tomatoes, and a few other things growing in them. We also just started broccoli and cauliflower for the winter. We have an entire planter dedicated to asparagus, which takes a few years before you can harvest, and should have an ample harvest starting next year.
