\"photo-104\"<\/a>You might remember a few months back that I told you about a little challenge I set up<\/a> for myself\u2014to take a photo of a different veggie (or fruit or herb) on Green Island Farm every day for 100 days straight and to post it on Instagram.<\/a> That was May 20\u2014Day 1.<\/p>\n

Well, Thursday, August 28 was Day 100, and I made it! I managed to post at least a different variety every day, and it was a kick doing it. For Thursday\u2019s post (the \u201cfinale\u201d), I did something a little different and arranged a bunch of things for the photo (above). It was kind of hokey\u2014I spelled out \u201c100\u201d (sort of) with an eggplant and two sunflowers, and then filled in with assorted other veggies, herbs, and fruits. As usual, it was the end of the day and I was rushed, so I was pretty much winging it. Halfway through, it occurred to me that I should’ve tried to get 100 things in the picture! I went out and picked a few more random edibles\u2014a fennel flower, an asparagus frond, a pea shoot\u2014but it was too late to redo at that point. After I took the photo, I counted, and I had managed to get 67 different items in–not bad. The best thing about the photo was the cheery color.<\/p>\n

I thought it would be fun to show you, in retrospect, the photos in the #100Veggies100Days that were the most popular on Instagram and Facebook. (Keep in mind that \u201cpopular\u201d means among my dear friends and very small group of social media peeps!). Not surprisingly, many of the favorite photos were tomatoes, but I think my own personal favorite is the little pumpkin, because of the light and the wispy vine. (See photos below.)<\/p>\n

And I also wanted to let you know that it is not too late to follow along. Egged on by a few friends, I decided to keep going for another 100 days, only with a slight shift from strictly veggies and garden edibles to a broader look at the farm–#100DaysFreshFromTheFarm. (Yes, I conveniently co-opted my cookbook title<\/a> for the hashtag! And by the way, I\u2019m also now writing a regular \u201cFresh from the Farm\u201d column for Martha\u2019s Vineyard Magazine<\/em>. You can read the latest one on beefsteak tomatoes here<\/a>.) \u00a0So sign up for Instagram or \u201clike\u201d my FaceBook business page, Susie Middleton Cooks<\/a>, if you\u2019d like to travel through fall on a small farm.<\/p>\n
