The August theme will be Harvest.
Since August is the big harvest month in the north, I thought that could be a suitable theme. So go out and pick some peas or berry, reap some wheat, drag something edible out of the dirt or just pick an apple. Any harvesting is OK.

Rules are as usual :
Photos must be taken during this month (after theme is announced) and posted before voting starts
Photos must be taken by the posting member
Photos must be taken with a camera phone
Users post only one photo per entry
Users can change the entry only once
Users must name the phone they used (and software if not stock)
Post processing is allowed but you have to say what you did
3 days voting period starts on August 28th at 20:00 UTC and ends on the evening of August 31st

Great theme!

Not my entry since shot last week by my wife.
Not even my work since she does all the picking.
But i can attest tasty things happen over here

considering how the weather was/still is awful this season I don't think that the harvest will be near as good as the last season. But I hope there will be something for this subject by the end of the month.

Nice. Something in the squash family, but what?

In my old garden, I learned way too much about the sex lives of those plants . . .

yay, thanks for teaching me squash family, did not know that term. It indeed is a zucchini.
We are participating in a "collaborative field" where a farmer prepares smaller parcels with preplanted things in rows and rents them to locals to look after and harvest their share.

I'm almost sure I've eaten that flower stuffed with something, sometime somewhere, many years ago.

yeah, but in Germany it's more common to eat the green fruit instead. Usually they are eaten about 20cm long, though I can remember from private gardening they get harvested as long as 40cm and more than 10cm diameter.
At that size you would cut them half, spooning out the middle and fill it up with something meaty. Then bake it in the oven.

so, something like this

not my competition entry

yeah, like this...

and that would be more like an entry for last month's theme

You could have your blossom and eat your fruit too on mornings when you have a surplus of male flowers beyond what you need for polination. I've seen but not tried them fried -- the flowers, that is.

Silly anecdote 1, As a child I didn't recognize Zucchini at the grocers as they were harvested at the more common small size, whereas my mom would allow them to mature to the size of your forearm in the home garden!

Anecdote 2, It was a year before I realized that I could make the 'courgette' recipes in a British cookbook I'd been using
