Chrissy, it's a jungle. As always, some things are working out better than others, and it's never the same things.
Peas were very successful, and I'm experimenting with a fall/winter crop (just planted).
Spinach was hardly worth the effort, but I'm trying a fall/winter crop there, too.
Cabbage - same as the spinach.
Cherry tomatoes are beginning to roll in, 3 or 8 ripening daily. There are actually a few fist-sized tomatoes that are turning red, too. That's very unusual.
Summer squashes (crookneck, patty pan, and globe) are coming in at about 2 per day, which is more than we can eat, so we dehydrate the rest (or give them away).
We've been eating huge salads almost daily since early June. Most of the lettuces are bolting now, but the second wave is almost harvestable (planted in shadier areas).
Cauliflower and broccoli didn't produce much. They got baked in late June, and the chipmunk and mole made their lives difficult.
Garlic (~500 plants) all got harvested, and only a few are still curing in the garage. The rest have been cleaned up and allocated for replanting this fall and bringing into the kitchen.
Peppers and eggplant are all beginning to hit their strides. There are some fruits on the peppers and flowers on the eggplants.
Kales and collards are berserk as always.
Basil, despite a very rocky start, has become more than we can eat. So... Pesto!
Beans are coming along. Both the pole and bush beans got hit by a rabbit early on. I replanted, and they've been left alone since. We're getting 6-12 beans a day, but that should pick up dramatically soon.
The lemon cucumbers are doing amazingly well, but I only brought in the first fruit yesterday. There will be many more.
The delicata (winter) squashes seem very happy and have maybe a dozen fruits on them and many more flowers.
Carrots are growing. I don't dare pull any for another month or two. They take forever to size up here.
Kohlrabi and Brussels sprouts are pretty sad. There's still hope for the Brussels, but they're often very persnickety.
After I harvest the garlic, I always replant those beds with daikon radishes, arugula, and mustard. Those are all starting to kick in.
It's been a good raspberry year. I'd guess we got more than a gallon of berries. Probably half of those got frozen.
Blueberries have just begun ripening in earnest. The five bushes are pretty loaded. We're already freezing them, because they're more than we can eat.
The fig tree is absolutely covered in figs. I'd guess there are at least 300. They're still hard as rocks. Then, one day, they'll be ripe. And the birds and raccoons will find them.
I think that's it on the food side.
The flower side is absurd. Things have matured, and now it's just a dense mass of colors and shapes. I'll try to get some current photos. And the fragrances...
