Photo below - here's the tomatoes that were salvaged from the plants that were blown over. They'll ripen just fine on the counter, and should provide me and my parents plenty of them to eat for at least 2-3 weeks, I figure. Any that aren't eaten fresh will be frozen, of course.
Photo below - seeds from various melons have been saved for next year's garden, and only honeydew melon seeds are still left to gather. As you might expect, plenty will be shared with my readers during the winter months.
In other news, i'm planning on adding another trellis to the garden. It'll be used for supporting vining vegetables that are grown in the area where all of the swc's are located. It's purpose will be to address the problem of high winds that have caused problems 3 times already this year. Even though it's a lot of work to get done, i've grown tired of having my stuff blown over. Besides, i'm known as "the builder" in my closeknit group of garden Blogging friends.
Take care, and happy gardening
EG

Great tomato harvest, and those butternut squash in the background sure do look good. I finally harvested a 1 pound Cherokee Purple today, and it tasted great. I won't have a huge tomato harvest this year, but that's OK.
I figured you'd come up with something for those winds sooner rather than later! Can't wait.
That is one nice haul. I'm sure you will be eating tomatoes for weeks to come.
Granny - those Cherokee Purple are sure hard to beat, that's for sure. There will be less variety in my garden next year.
Daphne - thank you - it's been a good year for me.
Ribbit - yeah, I'm gonna show that pesky wind.....
I'm a nosey biddy like Annie's Granny, I spied those Butternut squash in the background too and started drooling :o) ..
Did I hear you singing " come on come on to my house, were gonna have a "green tomato fry: come on to my house, I'm gonna feed you well :o)
( I think I need a nap, I'm tired ) :o)
That is a whole lot of tomatoes, 2-3 weeks huh...that is enough to feed a small platoon. Great job!
Gingerbreadshouse7 - ya like them butternut, eh? Well, I may just have to do a special post for you and Granny. :) BTW, I'm sitting here thinking up stuff I can talk ya into growing. Lol.
Kris - thanks, we should have plenty for sandwiches....
Looks like you were able to rescue quite a few tomatoes.Good luck with the new trellis. I think I am going to follow your lead and put a few in the garden net year.
Granny & Ginny may be like your butternuts....but, I think the melons look great! I think you will be good in the tomato department for awhile!
Now get going on that trellis Builder EG!
What a few (or dozen) building projects....
Is that Mr. Googly eyes? How much did it end up weighing in at?
CMWells - very observant! It sure is.....
Hey EG, what's the purple okra called? Does it taste any different? What a lovely harvest! Do envy you!
Oh!Canada - Burgundy, and it tastes no different than other varieties.
Oh my, just look at all those tomatoes! How wonderful.
