We've had lots of rain in the past week and unfortunately we haven't been able to harvest in the gardens like we normally would. This evening, I went out determined to harvest tomatoes and a few other items. I knew that since we hadn't picked tomatoes in about a week that there would be lots! This time of the year darkness comes earlier and earlier so it becomes a race against time to get over to the garden after work and harvest everything before night comes. First on the list to harvest are the purple beans. Purple is a bit hard to see in the dark. Last on the list is typically tomatoes. At a certain point it becomes just too dark to see the tomatoes and you'll start stepping on more than you harvest. I got as much as I could before it was just too dark. I'll try to get up early in the morning and go back to the garden and harvest more tomatoes. I bet this week will be a record harvest for tomatoes for Epworth.
