The Garden Yield - A Winter's Grub

I've never really shown much of the harvest that we have put away for the winter from our garden.  So here are a few shots.  The wolf should not be able to get a toehold in the door this winter.  Looks like some mighty fine eating this winter. I was very pleased with the yield, and we will try a few new things next year as well.

Sweetie Tomatoes
Ghost cherry tomatoes

Brandywine tomato

The carrots are monstrous, but still very sweet. The yellows are kind of a nice contrast.
All Red's dug and laid out to dry.


The winter's potatoes in storage.
I must confess, I did not grow these - these are from a client's flower boxes - they are tubers off the very decorative sweet potato vines.  BTW they are absolutely delicious - yes three of us lived through the taste test.

    I really like your new header. The morning glories look grand. I wouldn't know your answer to you question but I am really impressed with all that food you grew yourself. We grew potatoes, large quantities as a kid to feed four hungry boys. They lasted all winter.

    I've never thought of growing sweet potatoes. So I'll try them next year. I'll have to find a garden center that sells them.

    New follower! I must say my dear musical gardener friend, YOU have not taken up nearly enough of my time! The photos captivated me with inspiration! I'm a writer and always looking for just that! I could seriously feel the dirt under my fingernails as I looked at the veggies! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll be back! (Not a musical, but Arnie sure put on a good show.)
