We pulled the last of the Romaine this week and some golf ball sized Beets:
There were some more beets pulled but they didn't make it on camera. I also ended up pulling and throwing out the last 2 massive heads of romaine because they had bolted and were very bitter.
Totals for the week:
Beets 5.55 oz/157.34 g
Romaine 8.9 oz/252.31 g
Weekly Total: 14.45 oz/409.65 g
Season Total: 2.88 lbs/1.305 kg
Tomato Watch: As of 7/9/10: 87 Tomatoes have set fruit.
Harvest Total and Tomato Watch widgets in the right-hand column have been updated.
One of my Sunflowers opened up on Friday as well:

Beautiful sunflower! None of mine opened so far.
What a beautiful sunflower! I am still waiting on mine.
Vrtlarica & Allison - Thank you! The sunflower is 'autumn beauty.' I actually had a problem with birds or some other creatures eating the heads before they bloomed on 3 of my sunflowers but this one emerged! A few of the surviving sunflowers also had snapped, I suspect birds as the culprit as well
Some of our lettuce bolted also. It's too hot where we are!
Pretty sunflower. And I can't believe you count your all your tomatoes that are developing. I think I'd go crazy and lose track after 20.
Beautiful sunflower! Shame about the romaine, it can bolt so quickly this time of year.
Nice that you have had lettuce for this long. Mine bolted a month ago. Beautiful sunflower! Saw a cooking program yesterday where they used the petals to dress up a plate of food. I'd rather look at it, but to each his own! LOVE your Tomato Watch! Much more patience than I have.

I sampled some bolted lettuce a couple of weeks ago and almost gagged. It's definitely a bitterness that lingers in your mouth.
I agree with the others - beautiful sunflower!
Now that makes me want to grow a sunflower myself! Sorry to hear of your bolted lettuce. I'm waiting for this heat to pass and fall to get here so I can grow some more lettuce again.
