Listen to Just Jenny on:
Wonderful! More people should have gardens and eat food that is truly organic.
Spectacular! Enjoy!
Interesting…seems like a small yield when you consider the time and effort involved. Other than the leeks and radishes, I could go through most of this produce in about a week or two, alone. If you’re splitting the payload between two families, I can’t imagine that lasting more than a few days, unless you dont eat many vegetables.
Must be so nice to have a full sized farm, like Martha.
Looks great!!! What are you going to make?
Yummy, sounds very healthy too!
WOW that is some harvest. I think you need to open a stand in the front of your house – how will you eat all of that? SO SO GREAT! Happy cooking and eating! Who says you don’t get enough fiber!
WOW!!!!!!!! I WANT SUM.LOL. I REALLY DO. VEGAN HERE. LIVE IN APT. MISS MY YARD
Good work, and super delicious!!!
Time to can!
Wonderful Harvest! Enjoy eating all those veggies!
Oh wow, my mouth is watering. As a child my family always had gardens, and the memories of gathering are fond (not so much the weeding). Thank you for sharing.
That is insane! I love it… I’m envious. 🙂
Mmmmm, looks healthy and delicious!!! What are you making? Soups, salads???? Share some yummy recipes… Enjoy your harvest!
Holy Moley! That is quite a spread. Whatcha gonna make with all those vegetables there Jennifer? Alexis had a great quinoa (? or was it another Pseudocereal? I use quinoa) + beets recipe that I make almost every Sunday. Beets are a nutritional powerhouse!
Wow – great harvest! And thanks for the update!
Wow……….happy pooping
Jennifer—do skinny girls from New York eat fried green tomatoes? They’re delicious and that’s what I thought of when I saw your garden bounty!!!
wow. nice. it’s been so cool here in california, our gardens aren’t so prolific… yet.
Jennifer,
That produce looks gorgeous!! Your brother-in-law must be so very proud.
I hope you will post about what you guys do with that bounty. Thanks for sharing.
WOW- Did you guys use fertilzer? I live in Northern NJ and barley have sprouting cucumbers! I only use organic stuff though, just wondering how you got so much so soon… i guess LI is a lot warmer than where I live!
Fantastic!! So fresh and healthy. Look at those beets and leeks. I can’t beleive you got squash already. My dad’s are still small. I love gardens. Enjoy and make a huge salad!!!
Awfully suspicious…I live on Long Island and I am not ready to pick half these veggies from my garden. Are you pullining a fast one dear? Did half of those come from the famer’s market?
I loves them fried green tomatoes!
such a beautiful bounty of vegetables!
They look delicious. Enjoy!
@Lisa in NYC…either you’re an idiot or you’re not aware how harvesting vegetables from a garden works…
I love how Lisa thinks that this is the total amount of produce to come from your garden. If that was really all there is, I doubt anyone would do this for a second year.
Is she aware that people pick produce throughout the growing season?
And who would harvest their entire garden in July?
Kudos on the big haul, you spoiled, fat, thin, jappy, collagen lip’d, gorgeous, ugly poser! 🙂 You’re fabulous!
Geniveve…I don’t think anyone is “pullining” a fast one (famer’s marker?!). Maybe it’s simply you’re as shitty a gardener as you are speller?
@ELIZABETH TEMPLE…GO BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT.
@ Mike and @ Frank, thanks for your pleasant remarks. WTF!
@Mike and @Frank: …FYI I grew up in Manhattan and know nothing about farming, despite being a cook and shopping at organic produce markets. Jen’s photo was entitled “harvest” so I assumed that was the yield for this growing cycle…Honestly Im stunned by how nasty the two of you are about my original post. Not necessary.
@ Jennifer Hutt – Since you dont allow posts that disparage your friends and family, why would you allow posts that insult other listeners/posters such as myself?
Here it is 9:45 in the morning and I’m completely rattled over the rude and nasty responses directed towards me from Mike and Frank in NYC. Did I deserve this? My original post is merely an observation and iI was incorrect then I could have been addressed diplomatically, not called and idiot and patronized!
You are always trolling this blog making your stupid comments. Give and you shall receive dear.
Lisa in NYC…………. you have options… you know………. Posters are always ragging on what I submit to the forum. You can put your big girl pants on, or you can run home, but dont stay and complain about it…….. Jen runs the show here so you dont have a choice about that ……….
That is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think your original post was funny! Just that someone would have such little knowledge of gardening.. just a humorous city girl kind of thing I guess. I doubt Jennifer can spend too much time here making sure that posts aren’t hurtful to others. I’d be happy that someone corrected me. I don’t think you need be rattled by strangers on the internet. Life is too short.
Well I didnt expect Jen to post all those, but whatever.
@Geniveve please show me one example – my comments are not antagonistic. @JRT I’ll stay and complain. @Andrea – Point taken, thanks
I still dont see what the hell was wrong with my original comment. If that’s the harvest then that’s what was produced in this growing cycle, correct? If carrots take 6 weeks to grow then you will have to rotate the times you plant if you want a constant supply. Obviously there are more than one growing cycles in a season, depending on the item, I just still think its quite an effort to get the amount that you do.
If you let those two comments rattle your day just imagine how you would feel in Alexis and Jennifers shoes, getting bombarded with dozens of scathingly harsh comments every single day! Don’t be so sensitive, you can’t control what other people say or do, just ignore things you dont like and dont let them annoy you.
@Lisa, here’s a suggestion: If you have no knowledge about the topic being discussed, it’s probably best not to share your lack of experience by posting something stoopid…
@Lisa….give me a day so I can go back through the recent blogs. You are always making your bitchy, know it all comments. Dear…just because you are a product of NYC….don’t think you know everything.
@Lisa in NYC, I didn’t call you an idiot. I merely implied that you didn’t know much, if anything, about gardening. I could also say the same thing about my own mother. In fact, I often tell people that my mother is the worst cook on earth (as an example) and it doesn’t offend her because she knows she can’t cook. I didn’t think my comment would offend you because I assume you already know that you don’t know anything about gardening beyond your own assumptions. If my comment truly rattled you to the degree that you cease ability to function, then please forgive me, and reconsider your choice to live in NYC, as this is not a city that is known for its comforting warmth.
If you are objecting to my name calling at the end of my comment, that was in response to (and directed to) Jennifer’s Facebook comment and was clearly meant as a joke, and I’m completely confident that Jennifer took it that way. If you took it as an insult to you, I would question why you thought “Kudos on the haul” was meant for you.
All in all, I have nothing to apologize for. When one doesn’t want to be judged, one doesn’t put themselves out there to public scrutiny. But if you’re truly agonized and deeply grieved by something I have said, please do accept my apologies regardless. I do apologize for how you perceived it.
How old are we??????? 1, 2
whatever
Whatever, I’m done with this conversation/argument/attack.
I agree. Being bred in Manhattan is no excuse for not knowing about harvesting. Maybe you need to take a course in agriculture “Lisa in NYC.”
@ Lisa: Okay, when you plant cukes they are on a vine and grow up fences or similar. They produce cukes all summer. You can pick once, then a few days later, pick again and on and on until the plant is done producing. Each seed you plant grows a vine and each vine can produce about 30 cukes. As for leeks, radishes, beets, onions, potatoes – each seed you plant produces one yield. You can plant these throughout the season as they aren’t sensitive. Actually any of the “hardy” vegetables can be planted throughout the summer. You can space when you plant so you always have a harvest. Pepper plants grow low to the ground like a basil plant. Smaller and bushy but each plant (one seed) usually has about ten to fifteen peppers from it. The squash family grows along the ground or up a trellis and are pretty hardy also. Beans can grow up a pole or as smaller bushes, but they never stop producing. You can actually get sick of picking vegetable after a while. Cauliflower is like cabbage or kohlrabi, each seed will produce one head of whatever you’ve planted. Like beets, leeks, etc. My husband also grew up on cement in NYC and had no idea how things grew until he saw my dad’s garden. There is no need to attack someone for not knowing something. I hope this helps explain a little. If you go to a farmers market, you can ask any of the guys working the stand and they will tell you all about it too. They know alot more than I do.
i’m jel
Are you actually proud of this? Your haul looks pathetic next to what Alexis posts from her kitchen counter. Why didn’t you wash it at least and try to arrange it so it’s photograph-worthy? Is that a plastic bag??? Doesn’t really look all that impressive. This is just one more example of how low rent you are compared to the Stewarts.
Frank and Mike are a couple of douche bags.
