The reason for the purchase - (in addition to my loving him :-D) - was that we do a lot of harvesting of fruits and veggies in our garden, and we have big things to collect fruit in but not really anything nice for smaller harvests. So if we are picking a whole tree of apples, that's fine - or 12 trees of olives or loads of grapes...no problem but just a few items tended to go in a horrid old red bucket. But no longer!
The new collapsible blue bucket now comes to the rescue and it got its first use this week! And it did a fine job.
We put in some:
kale
padrone peppers - these are my 2013 new favorite food
green figs
black figs
peaches and
apricots
What a colorful harvest.
I'm so happy to have an early fig harvest this year. Some years we only get them in the fall but we've had quite a few July figs this year and it looks like an amazing number will ripen for the fall. We will definitely be figged out! Glad family will be staying with us to help us out.
What did you harvest this week?
