Our harvest this week in the backyard garden!

This is everything we harvested this week from our backyard garden as a family of two. Starting over here, this week we got six more watermelon. Three of these were our regular strawberry red watermelon and the other three were the yellow fleshed kind. If you follow our page, you know last week we harvested nine watermelon and Emily canned up some delicious watermelon jelly. Earlier this week, we harvested a couple bags of peppers and put those in the fridge. But today, I got a whole another basket of peppers from our garden. We got all kinds of peppers like cayenne peppers, our habaneros, jalapeno peppers, Anaheim green chili peppers, a bunch of yellow bell peppers, and some red bell peppers. For our pumpkins we harvested this week, we got two Long Island cheese pumpkins, three pie pumpkins, and four of our honey nut squash. We also harvested 30 of these decorative gourds. Got a good little batch of green beans. I couldn’t fit them all in my hands. That’s at least enough for a few meals for us. I think this year we got something around 30 lbs worth of green beans. And this is the last of our harvest for the year. Emily loves to joke that it’s my only vegetable that I eat, which is only kind of true, but I do love them, so that’s why we planted so many. And last, but not least, our eggs. We got a total of 46 eggs, but I know that Emily and I both ate some eggs this week for breakfast. So, I would say somewhere around 50 to 55 eggs is how many we actually got. And this part is so exciting. These light brown eggs are actually the first time we’ve ever gotten these. These are from our brand new chickens that we got earlier this spring, and they just started laying this week. So, the light brown eggs are a new addition. And then we also got these tiny little baby blue eggs, which I’m sure they’re just small because these chickens are still young. But here’s what the other chicken’s egg size is. So that is everything we got in our garden this week. And you’re probably wondering, Chris, what in the world are two people going to do with all this produce? Well, you’re going to have to hit that follow button and she can show you because honestly, I have no clue. I’m just a hired help around

    That's awesome! It's so good to have all natural food to eat! Love you guys, and can't wait for Emily to come out with another crochet item again! I've made so many granny square blankets and 3 cardigans!!! And I'm toying around with the idea of a granny square dress!

    Please explain the decorative gourd. Im not familiar with gourd but it's not butternut squash and it's good for making pots?
