Today, while watering, I harvested. The quantity was small but some of the tomatoes needed to go now! Sadly about 30% had split in the heat, as had one eggplant, and had to be discarded. However, now that I know for sure where Cherry Street is, I think I can harvest more frequently swing by on the way out on days that I drive.
From the Court:
- Eggplant 13 oz
- Tomatoes (cherry) 6 oz
- Greens 4 oz
From the Tower:
- Eggplant 6 oz
- Tomatoes (1 big, 1 cherry) 6 oz
- Greens (mostly the parsley from the lettuce tub) 5 oz
- Cucumber (1) 7 oz
When you break down things this way, it doesn't look like much. However it totals over 2 pounds of food, fresh & organic, at very little cost. The greens bulk up a lot but don't weigh much.
(Note: Cherry Street is two-way! Look both ways before crossing --- I almost decorated the front of a van!)
