Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Loving seeing everyone's pics, keep 'em coming!
Scott, harvesting pinecone nuts, that is a new one for me, my hat is off to you my friend, that takes some patience...and time.
Here are two Jamaican Red Scotch Bonnet chilies I just harvested this morning.
Anyone have any tomatoes ripening up yet? Most of mine are still green...

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Hey Scott, if you do make pesto sauce, it goes GREAT on Angel Hair pasta. It is also delicious as a spread on slices of a crusty bread. Here is a recipe for CLASSIC/TRADITIONAL Pesto Sauce and a picture of what it "should" look like when done.TripleF wrote:I had to search PESTO SAUCE.

4 cups fresh basil leaves (from about 3 large bunches)
1/2 cup olive oil

2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Sardo cheese, also known as Fiore Sardo cheese
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Those are some lush looking squash and bean plants, Mike!
Scott - it has been a few years since the last time I ate any pine nuts. I never harvested them like you are doing, I just picked them up and ate them one by one. I think they are pretty good: and quite a different flavor from anything else. I always like to try something unique.

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Scott, you're taking the food out of the poor little squirrels mouths!
Mighty lush lookin' plants there, Mike! Now if you had the corn in the picture, it would be the 3 Sisters of the Native Americans.
The Pinkeye Purple Hull peas in the garden finally played out or maybe we got tired of picking them. We cut them in a couple of weeks and hilled up two slightly elevated rows and planted 4 Seminole pumpkin seeds about every 10 foot. The peas that were dry and disked back into the soil have also germinated along with the pumpkin seeds. Take a look: These pumpkins/squash usually make before Thanksgiving. They have a long shelf/pantry life if they have no bumps, bruises or blemishes. We have had them on the pantry floor for up to 6 months or so.
Miss Joy makes a special pie with them and also bakes pumpkin bread in the one pound metal coffee cans that are no longer available. They make the neatest little round delicious roll of bread!
The pumpkins are a big temptation to the deer once they almost mature, we learned that the hard way many years ago.
The rest of the garden has succumbed to the summer heat with the exception of the Bell, Jalapeño and Sweet Banana peppers.
When you enlarge the pictures, there are a couple of clumps of Pampas grass which seems to be very similar to the saw grass of some of the Florida wetlands. They old timers used to say, "When the saw grass blooms, it is time for the hurricanes."

Not sure if I've ever had a chocolate habanero, but I do love a good habanero sauce! Not in just for the heat; its gotta have flavor.313 Mike wrote:Thanks Steve.

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Ivoryman, that cuke looks great, sure would like to have 7 pounds of them to make lime pickles. Our recipe makes about 5 quarts with 7 pounds.
The pumpkins we planted are beginning to grow, we've hoed and disked up all the volunteer Purple Hull pea sprouts, just hoping they will mature before 1st frost. There are about 20 hills planted in two 100 foot long rows. This is how they look this evening: Treefarmer
Jerry you sent us some Cushaw seeds several years ago after you showed us what a real Cushaw was supposed to look. Mother called the little "Seminole Pumpkins" Cushaws because of the shape. Seems like we planted and the seed and everything got washed away in one of the big rain events.jerryd6818 wrote:Philip, did you ever plant any Cushaw squash?

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
It will be interesting to see oif you can get those Cushaw to grow before your "winter" settles in Phillip!
Here is a Lillian's Yellow heirloom tomato I just picked this morning. My tomato plants are reluctant to give up their fruits this year, lots of green unripe ones hanging on still...but when they do turn, they are big and tasty.
This one is about 1 3/4 lbs.
Also picked these Golden Jenny melons. Similar to a mini cantaloupe.

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Mike, do y'all eat "mater" sandwiches up there in the that north country of Wisconsin? That big ol' tomato ought to make enough sandwiches to feed the whole family! 'Course you got to have a fresh loaf of light bread and Duke's Mayonnaise for them to be just right.
Back a few years, we had a frost on October 6th, you never know, just like where the hurricanes will eventually go. Maybe they will make it.

A garden fresh Mater sandwich is one of my favorite concoctions ever. I blend some habaneros into my mayo for a little extra zing!
This one was made with a Green Zebra tomato a week or so ago. And of course with this being Wisconsin, I just gotta add a thin slice of Cheddar too....

Very nice photos, Ivoryman, Treefarmer, and Mike! Just seeing that tomato sandwich makes me ready for lunch.
Nothing left to harvest in my little garden other than Rosemary, sage, and Basil.

Thanks Dinadan, I like your S&M Sheep foot 1/2 whit there, and that bone is great. Is that Italian Jigged bone? Very cool jigging and color.

Re: Harvest Time Knives!!
Thanks! Yes, it is Italian jigging. I got that little knife a couple of years ago at a very reasonable price and sharpened it up and used it. I have always liked sheep foot blades. I hate the way things have gone with Queen since then. That Wharncliffe of yours was also made by Queen, was it not?Ivoryman wrote:Thanks Dinadan, I like your S&M Sheep foot 1/2 whit there, and that bone is great. Is that Italian Jigged bone?
