Garden Haul and Guessing Game

Well, the goat poo worked. We attempted a large garden this year. Had some major failures [slugs + greenbeans = bad news] and some successes [5 ft. tomato plants]. A good friend who has goats allowed us to come get a truckload of the...the good stuff, let's just say. It worked!

It seems like everything has ripened late, but it's so nice to still have cherry tomatoes out the wazoo, and regular tomatoes to turn into tomato sauce - yum! I have to say though, the purple peppers...not so much. I think I need to let them turn red to sweeten up. They were super bitter, though they do look pretty cool. Here's a shot from last week.

And now for the guessing game. What is this??

And a closer shot.

Three hints:
1. Yes, it is this color.
2. My boys will eat it [that says a LOT].
3. Can't think of another hint, sorry.

Because this looks so disgusting and yet tastes so good, I have to share. I'll send a jar to the first person to guess correctly.

[for the couple of people who know what this is, no cheating!!]

  1. Love the photo of your garden 'goods'! You are quite the little homemaker, you do a mother proud.....although I wasn't that great with the garden : ) Ok, now for the guess....is it something sweet? I can't tell, is it more than 1 fruit? Love you, MOM

  2. Maybe we need more hints - what veggies are in it? So glad your garden did well! We sure enjoyed the veggie plants you shared with us.
