Stop! Harvest Time!



Behold.

The Ronde De Nice squash is uncertain and only producing a serviceable fruit every several days now. There's one in there in the middle.

The zucchini's leaves are yellowing and my guess is it has a couple more weeks at best. In the meantime, it's delivering superzukes, as shown on the left.

But the cucumbers and cornichons are making up for it, (on the right) and the tomatoes are nearing their red (or black or green, depending) and juicy tipping point (buried in the back but soon to be in the foreground, for sure). And the beans (green, purple, and fava) are a steady and reliable, if not as prolific, source over these past several weeks, with more to come there, we're sure.

I suggested last night that we could slice a cucumber and a zucchini and alternate the slices, kind of like a vegan turducken. The Kat was displeased with this.

No matter, it appears that cucumber-zucchini salad is quite a hit on the Ivory Coast.

Anyhow, that there is over 8 and a half pounds of food, all pulled out of the dirt today. Hurrah.
