managed to pick enough green peppers for a batch of salsa, all cut up and in the freezer. my dill is about done and pulling it tomorrow. onions look better then they  have the last few years...there drying up and going to pull them next week!!!!!! found 6 cukes so far but dang this lack of rain and heat is tough on them. maters are coming along nicely!!!!!

 

kalarabi is a crop failure again!!!!!!

I have picked about a fridge full of cucumbers and zucchini and a few jalapenos. Tomato plants look great but the maters the deer havent knocked off seem fall off on there own.  Sweetcorn is short and in desperate need for rain in the next few days to have a chance. Pumpkins are finally growing like mad.  At least this year the shouldnt be ready to pick in beginning of September. Pulled all my onions they were already drying up. Hoping to put a late crop of broccoli in there spot if I can find some seeds. Bell pepper plants are finally getting big hope I get some peppers since ive been picking the flowers off for a month. Weird year it seems.

Pulled my onions today, it was time. Only had 3 bad ones too . Best onion crop in the last 4-5 years.

[smurfy]

picked enough maters for BLT's tonight!!!!!!!! yes with miricale whip!!!!!

 

pulling the cabbage today . heads just dont want to get bigger........should still make a good batch of homemade kraut. 

green beans and cukes sure are slow coming iin.

hope my maters get more on the plants!!!!!!! i need a bunch.

That inch and a 1/4 of rain we just got should help the garden out!!!
