There’s one final batch of carrots after this, last of the beets and a kalibos cabbage I should have harvested weeks ago.
Doing a simple sheet pan roast in the oven with the veg, garlic, sausage and mushrooms.

Do you grow any veggies down there during the summer or are you taking a rest?

Tomatoes, beans, squash (I hope), eggplant and melons are the early summer menu.
Beans struggle in July and August even with shade cloth.
It’s a battle against pickle worm with the curcubits.

Hoping that you had a wonderful day. Happy birthday Marsha!

Noire Charbonneuse, Lime Green Salad, Hoosier Outlaw Black Cherry and what’s supposed to be Copia z Dziobkiem but the shape doesn’t look right.

Are all the Copia z D that shape?
Sometimes I've seen hearts throw beefish fruit with lots of locules, which suppresses the 'pointy end'.
If they're all beefish, it must be a cross.

I will look more closely @bower next time I go out there.

Finally did the first pick on the dragon’s tongue beans, and grabbed a few other things that were ready.

Getting more tomatoes hitting color break including the first 2 Cowboy. Those are the big beefsteaks that will ripen to a rich brown/black and bred by Karen Oliver.
I’m metering out the last of my cooler weather crops like carrots and kohlrabi but really hot weather is setting in so I can’t leave them much longer.

Matrosik eggplant going berserk.
