Mid-June: What are you harvesting now?
Comments (33)More fresh wax beans. And more. And more. My dry beans are almost harvest and done, except the Mitla Black beans which are just getting started but have already had am impressive yield. Tons of patty pan squash and cucumbers Some zucchini Most of the herbs are harvested and are hanging to dry or being added to preserves. Still eating some strawberries and raspberries. Still no tomatoes, tomatillos, and the peppers aren't even blooming yet. My garden is not doing well there. Corn soon, very soon. The first melons in another week or tweo....See MoreWhat are YOU harvesting now?

Comments (28)They're good. I ended up with a ton of them so I have pounds upon pounds of them in the chest freezer in the basement. At some point I will make ice cream with them. I get tired of mushy fruit and they are at their most flavorful when they are super ripe and mushy. I can bring some over for you to taste. Like a lot of things in my garden - everything is ripe at the same time, so I spend what precious little spare time I have trying to pick and process whatever is at its peak. Figs, pears, raspberries were ripe at the same time the pawpaws were, as were the watermelons and cantaloupe and the sweet corn, then the bell peppers and the last of the tomatoes. I do every trick there is to try and get each crop to space out the ripening to give myself a break between each one but it fails every year. By September I sick of picking anything and super sick of my kitchen. The freezer is full. The dehydrators are full. I think I'll make it through the winter until next year's harvests without starving. Oh,,, and I forgot to mention the greenbeans and squash......See MoreWhat's Everyone Harvesting Now?
Comments (38)We have a foolish Phoebe who persists in building her nest on the front porch every year. We have cats who sit on the porch most of the day. They pretty much ignore the Phoebe nest, which is up under the porch roof, about 8' above the porch floor, but when a baby bird falls from the nest, a cat gets it. Despite this, the Phoebe stubbornly insists on putting the nest in the same place every year. Every single time we open the front door, she flies away. I don't know how she ever sits on the eggs enough to hatch them. This has gone on for years. She is one stubborn Phoebe. Congrats on the SunGolds. Any tomato you grow yourself is going to be delicious and so worth the wait. We're still getting tomatoes from the first few early plants I bought on Feb. 1st. Our first ripe fruit from plants I raised from seed will be SunGolds but they are just barely beginning to turn, so it will be a few more days. After that, it seems likely the next ripe tomatoes will be Black Cherry, followed by a full-sized black tomato variety called Vorlon. The tomato plants purchased February 1st have done a great job of producing early fruit---we've harvested and eaten about 50 large tomatoes so far, which is the best early crop we've ever had. These plants have done so well that I didn't even get in a big hurry to put our home-grown tomato plants in the ground. There was no need to rush since the early plants were doing so well. I noticed today we have a jalapeno that is about ready to pick. It is pretty comical. It is on a Mucho Nacho plant I planted in the bed with those early purchased tomato plants in March. The plants have not necessarily grown very quickly, but did flower early and set fruit early. The one large jalapeno pepper is one-third the length of the entire plant. I saw it today and just shook my head---the plant kinda reminds me of a Charlie Brown christmas tree with its one lovely 'ornament' of a pepper that is just about big enough to pull the plant over onto its side. I'm tempted to go ahead and harvest the pepper just to relieve the plant from the burden of holding up a pepper that likely weighs more than the plant itself does....See Moreparty_music50
