How does your garden grow?

Okay just finished up pickling the first picking of some my hot peppers Hungarian Wax and some "Penos" (jalapeno) and loaded up a few jar fulls of onion, tomato, and zukes so I'm good for a while...

or maybe just for this week.






Wohoooo also have two baby watermelons forming might actually get something yet.

Picked over 450 ears of sweet corn the last 2 days. Well dad did I have been too busy. 14 dozen frozen on cob rest made 24 quart bags of cut off. At least a years supply.

Creaming corn is a job of work. But unless you have unlimited freezer space, you just about have to do it.

WOW, that is a lot of corn. But will be good eating this winter.

Tonight we cut the Tendersweet melon I had clipped the other day. It was a pretty standard yellow meat, not the orange meat advertised. Not as sweet as my Crimson Sweets, but still a good melon.

Last night we did 5 half pints of pickled okra. Will have to wait three or four more days to sample them.

Today's harvest included snap and snow peas, lots of carrots, and a gallon of blackberries. Sweet talking the better half to make some blackberry syrup tonight. Quite warm in the PNW to be over the stove this rare hot evening though.

One pint jar was put up the end of June. The quart and other pint were put up last week. Only have two jalapeño plants.

Brandy Wine and Old German heirlooms ripening on the vine...and picked about quart of cherry tomatoes from only one plant just now!

Put up 4 more quarts of them darn zukes and tomatoes too :confused2:

Harvested more string beans again last night and probably will again tonite along with my first cukes of the season

Things are rolling in Vermont now considering the moderate drought conditions here and in the surrounding areas.

I have been watering most every day.

Wow 3rd of August first crop of string beans are almost gone by but they produced heavy and I picked at least 6 times on that little patch....and there is still some yet. My flat roma beans are in flower now and my heirloom "creasy pole beans for Library's seed saving program are topping their poles and also showing flowers. Finally got some needed rain over the weekend and today I have a big pile of cukes. Eggplant, bell peppers all producing great and ready to harvest hot cherry peppers for pickling, some are turning red now, and there 's more jalapenos and hot wax too. Rain wrecked several heads of the iceburg lettuce I had growing (got all mush). Squash has slowed down finally especially the zuc's but I found a new way to eat more...

Zucchini "meatballs"

Hey with enough sauce and cheese just about anything's good

And a friend of mine made me a nice batch of pesto with some basil I harvested and shared with her.
