There are links on my website to little slide shows of events that have happened for visitors to look at. The place where I had the shows stored is stopping the service, so I am going to have to move storage site.
I made a short "show" of harvest shots to try out the link and asked friends and family to try it out the link to the new storage site to see how it worked on their compis. It seems to work fine, so now I am going to remove the slide show and get on with transferring my old pics. Before I remove it I thought I'd show it on here to let you folks see what can be accomplished on a small plot of land. The combined harvests mean that I never have to buy veggies during the course of the year.
Fingers crossed that this link works on here. Please let me know if it doesn't.

Heh heh heh... Biita, you are sompin else.
Well, I get harvests like that about every second or third day during the summer. so there is always enough to fill the freezer and give away.
Thanks for the nice comments...coming from you it's a great compliment, cos you do so much more, I believe.
Thanks also for checking to see if the link works.

Worked for me too Sjoerd (and very quickly too considering my lousy dial-up!)
Looks like a great harvest.
The more I see of peoples great veggie harvests, the more I think I'd better get more serious with my own vegetable garden!

Wow! what a bountiful harvest.
Those strawberries looked sooo good, I just had to try one and it was very delicious. hehe We picked bowls of strawberries every morning from mine too then at the end of the season, I had to reorganize because they needed weeding and needed to put rows in between to walk. Some of the st. plants that we took out, we put into hubby's patch. So we'll have two patches os strawberries this year. We'll be working the garden again this year to make it bigger though not quit as fancy as yours. We want to try some other veges. Maybe hang the zucchini like the cucumbers. Anyway, your garden is an inspiration. Thanks for the link.

Well, I want a salad! The veggies are beautiful! Very nice picture taking too. Great show!

By the way, do you have any Capucijiners seed to trade?

Everything looked good, and I'd love a taste of almost everything. I'm totally out of self-control when it comes to strawberries, and can finish a couple of kilos all by myself if I get the chance. Embarassed

Thanks so much folks. I'm glad you liked those harvest fotos. Gosh, sometimes when I look at them I get this terrible urge to bite into something fresh. chuckle.
PETUNIA--I like the sound of your gardens from your brief description. One thing caught my eye: it was about hanging zuccinis like cues. I have done that with "regular" plants ...sort of on the side of a fence, as the type that I planted didn't grow too awfully long; however, I did find a sort that apparently is a climber and I bought some of those seeds last year and what a success! I built what I called", "a stairway to the start" and let it climb right up and the zuccinis just hung right down like cues--easy to pick and no slug damage. This particular type tasted quite good as well.

ROBIN-- I shall look and see if I have some capucijner seeds for you tomorrow. If so, how many would you like?

DROOPY--Hee hee hee Smile I can just picture you gobbling up strawbs. Sadly I too have this wild attraction for strawbs. I have a couple of plants mixed-in with the rest that yield absolutely unbelieveable fruits--they will fill your palm, and they are red clean clear through and so sweet.

It's always a problem harvesting them because when I do that I have the tendency to pick one or two as I walk by them. Sigh Embarassed --So, I try and harvest them right before coming home.
I like them on yellow cake with whipped cream. ( I know, I know...he's decadent). You'd be right there.

Oh drool! I need to get me some of those plants. Then I can honestly say I only had ten strawberries in one day. Wink

Mmmmm...Delectable and delicious. Looks like you know what you're doing!!! I'm still working on my garden soil and it's getting better every year (we have all sand here). It will be a few more years, though, before my garden is capable of growing the giants you've got in yours. Your pictures continue to keep me inspired to keep hauling in even more compost and manure. That hard work sure pays off!

Well KL, you are right about hard work paying off...although sometimes one wonders. heh hehheh. Sandy soil can be difficult to turn-around...but it can be done. Do you also use seaweed in one form or another mixed-in with the other constituents that you add?
Just don't give up, whatever yopu do, KL...The condition will continue to improve with every year.
