Update

I haven't updated because I've been busy... gardening.

So, here are a few important things that have happened in the last month or so, especially related to HARVEST...

  • Green beans! I still love the festina, not crazy so far about the mon petit cheri.
  • Lots of tomatoes! Unfortunately, my green zebra tomatoes are not... I'm not sure if the error is on my end or on the seed company's end! They are red. We've had tasty fried green tomatoes, got early girls, brandywines, the non-green-zebras, and red, yellow, and white cherries. The only problem is that I'm definitely allergic to fresh tomatoes. I get a terrible oral allergy and had to go on prednisone the pain was so bad. So, I'm still trying cooked tomatoes and hoping I can continue to tolerate them!
  • We had 3 red cabbages. They were great.
  • We did get some broccoli!
  • Had some sweet peppers, but only green ones so far. We keep needing to eat them before they turn red! Well, we did get a couple of little orange ones.
  • Cucumbers, tons of cucumbers. I have really enjoyed these.
  • I have a few little melons developing, and I'm very happy about that. Not sure how long it will be before we can eat them.
  • Winter squashes and pumpkins are all planted and sprouted.
  • I'm starting to think more about fall now--already. I have plans to put in more beds.
