Things are going mostly well with the edibles.

The garlic has been harvested and is now hanging in the sunporch to cure. I got 15 heads (planted 18). They are on the smaller side, but they are healthy so I’m happy.

The shallots are starting to lay down, so I’ll probably be harvesting them in a week or two. I’ve actually already harvested and cooked a few. We were out of onions, and I didn’t realize. It was handy to just pop out to the garden. They were probably a touch immature, but Dave said they tasted just find fried up with mushrooms for his steak.

The potatoes and carrots are absolutely thriving! It will be a while before they are harvested, but I’m loving all that green.

Much closer to enjoyment time are my peas.

These are sugar snap peas, and technically, I could harvest them now. But I don’t love eating the pods. I like letting them get good and fat, then opening the pods and eating the sweet little candy-like peas inside. These never make it in the house. They are for in-garden snacking.

Much like the raspberries.

The red ones are just starting to ripen, but these gold ones have been going for about a week and a half. and boy are they delicious!

The cucumers, gourds, squash and pumpkins are all starting to climb the squash tunnel (they love the heat and humidity)

And I’ve got baby sweet peppers, and the start of Sugar Baby melons!

There’s only two things that aren’t doing well. And they are two of the “easiest” plants to grow.

First are my zucchini. I can’t recall if I mentioned, but the squirrels didn’t give my seeds a chance to grow. So I went to a local nursery and got a few plants. As you can see, they are growing, but certainly not thriving. They’ve had flowers, but only male flowers… which mean no zucchini yet. I’ve given them some fertilizer, so hopefully things will pick up.

The other dissapointment is my beans. Yes. Beans

They are pretty much the same size they were two weeks ago. They should be filling this darn container. How do you mess up growing beans??? If these don’t pick up, Dave is going to be really sad.

Like the zucchini, they’ve gotten fertilizer, and I’m crossing my fingers. And my toes!
