We’re in a bit of a lull in the edible garden right now. I can harvest carrots if I want, but I’m leaving the rest to get a little bit bigger (though I might pick some to roast up with dinner tonight).

The cucumbers are behind where they were last year, but I should be able to harvest some more this coming week.

This time last year, I was starting to harvest cucamelons.

I’m not overly worried about that because they will produce right to the first frost.

My yellow pear tomatoes are looking good – but obviously aren’t quite ready yet.

My beans are still looking small and sad.

But I did manage to get one bean! I’ll take that as a win in the bean department this year.

My peas are mostly done, but I’m still getting a few small pods here and there. They get eaten right in the garden.

One of my Sugar Babies broke off the vine,

It was nice and dark and dull coloured, and sounded hollow, so I thought it might be okay to eat – if not as sweet as it could be. We had some friends over so I decided to crack it open.

And sadly it was still white inside! One of the friends still gave it a try… he said it tasted like a cucumber! I’ve got five more on the vines, so they will stay there for a good whole longer. I also thought these were seedless, and as you can see they are not. Next year I’ll have to find a seedless version.

Still no pumpkins, but I’ve got a few gourds coming…. still lots to look forward to!
