Garden Harvest

The only thing I planted this year was sugar snap peas and jack-be-little pumpkins. My peas are about waist high, and the pumpkins haven't even vined out yet. I planted late - we had so many frosty nights this year!

I did join a CSA and have had two pickups. We've had a bunch of different kinds of lettuce, kohlrabi, dill, zucchini, strawberries, and sugar snap peas. 

 Oooh it all sounds so delicious!  My Dad always had a vegetable garden, I so enjoyed picking fresh for lunch and dinner.  He wasn't able to keep it up as of about 5 years ago.  I tried for 2 years but with caring for him, the garden became a jungle.  I had to grass it in for the dogs.

 Enjoy your bounty!

Tomatoes are done here.  Too hot to set fruit and the plants are all worn out.  We may do some fall tomatoes if we can find what we want this weekend.  Cucumbers are still producing like crazy.  Peppers too.  We had some giant sunflowers that DH was hoping to get some seeds from but sometime today the squirrels removed all the flower heads and ate every single seed.  lol 

Kate, I haven't planted garlic in years but you've made me want to plant some again.  47 heads is outstanding!! 

We are picking kale daily, radishes, spinach and collard greens.(they are still young and tender).  Our garden is doing real good this year, I hung bars of soap around it to keep the deer out - and it seems to be working.

Hoping for beans by next week, we have three kinds planted. The vine plants are first getting flowers now, too early for tomatoes here.  But this 90 degree weather we have been having is really getting the garden to grow.

Like gardening but not WEEDING!

I have loads of tomatoes, none ripe yet. Basil, catnip, and sunflowers are thriving.

I also joined a CSA and so far have gotten bok choi, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, leeks, green onions, garlic scapes, beets, broccoli, green beans, strawberries, blueberries, mixed lettuce, spinach, kale, kohlrabi, yellow squash, and zucchini. There have been cooking greens, cilantro, and basil available, but I've not taken those. Much easier to let someone else do the work, esp. the weeding!

 I've got mushrooms and mold

Sage, basil, dill (done), thyme, & oregano are doing fine

Tomatoes and peppers are there but not ripening until this week with the emergent sun.

I lost loads of stuff to the wet weather due to root rot and mildew blights. 

That's all.

I'm with Sarah -- no veggie gardens at my house.  However, I've got two neighbors that are always sharing their harvest, so we get the benefits with none of the work.  So far, we've had some green beans, some zucchini and yellow squash, and a couple varieties of cherry tomatoes. 

In the past, we've had tomatoes in pots on our patio, but that's the only veggie we've grown.  We've had some herbs in pots, too, but now we raid our neighbor's herb garden. 

I've never even seen garlic growing, I don't think.  But it is a staple in our house, so I wish I was your neighbor, Kate.  I'd be offering to buy some of your crop, for sure!  Lately I've seen these things at our farmer's market -- I think they're called garlic scapes or something like that?  They're super curly green onion looking things.  I guess you eat them, but they look really cool in a vase, too!
