What did you harvest today? Megathread

I "harvested" a lot of my plants. Just ripping them out and starting over. I have got this horrible case of powdery mildew on all my beans and cucurbits. It just wasn't worth the fight. Bought myself some copper concentrate in hopes of that saving the new lot.

So I guess not particularly a fun "harvest" hah. But hopefully one that means less struggle, more happiness. 🤗
Wondered if you need to treat soil ( pots) after you have had powdery mildew, even after removing plants ? cheers

We love seeing progress of anyone at any stage! Everyone loves seeing the picture perfect images of bountiful harvest, but we enjoy learning and growing together even more.
If you look through my uploads, you'll see a number of bloopers ;)
 
Today I harvested!... my first pot of potatoes. Got plenty of them, but they're all still a bit small, good little crop of baby potatoes, and 3 pea sized ones, which I'll be putting aside for replanting - if it worked for Mark, it can work for me! I'll leave it a few more weeks before I upend any of my other potato pots, give them a chance to grow as large as they can.
 
8.5kg of jalapenos and counting, frigitellos and big jim - just a few of the goodies we've got the last few weeks

this is a generic version i got from online ages ago i also make this with lemon juice and lemon instead of line and also ass 2 teaspoon zest into the mix
if you want a clear jelly no seeds or pulp you can stair in but the bits of peppers and seeds give it a visual character

1 ½ cups finely diced bell pepper , I use a combination of colors
1 lb jalapeños (about 10) , remove seeds and veins from half for mild jelly, or leave them all, for hot jelly OR
You can leave seeds in just remove the veins in center also refered to as the placenta this is where the majority of the heat is from
5 cups granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups white or apple cider vinegar
¼ cup lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
3 ounces Certo liquid fruit pectin

Dice peppers: finely chop the bell pepper. Scoop the diced peppers into paper towels and squeeze out excess liquid (this will help ensure the jelly sets up properly). Measure out 1 ½ cups of diced bell pepper (loose, not packed in the measuring cup).
Dice jalapeños same as with the sweet bell peppers and squeeze the liquid out, in the same manner ( Warning wear disposable gloves).

Add all of the diced peppers to a large, deep pot. Add sugar, vinegar, lime juice, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat, but maintain a boil and boil for 10 minutes.

Add liquid pectin slowly stirring it in, and boil for another minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then give a good stir (to evenly distribute the pepper pieces) and pour jelly into steralized containers. Apply lids securely. and process as with any other jelly in hot water bath.
