My wife says I'm immature....whatever lady.

I have a ton of green tomatoes. Bell pepper 1 so far. Seeing jalapeño and jalafuegos(sp?) are coming on. Had aphids show up on the peppers. Went to war on them. I think I got them stopped. Last year they got so bad I pulled all the peppers couldn't get them down. I moved the peppers out of that house and moved a ways away. Still got them.
I'm eating Mexican Sour cucumbers finally. They are different but I like them. Gherkins are producing now along with the leaf lettuce. Never did get a radish this season. Have no idea what went wrong.
Beans are starting to flower along with the potatoes. Waiting on everything else to do it's thing,

Life's good.

Blackberries starting to come in. Plenty more to come.
None of the red raspberries made it into the house this morning. It's nice to pick and eat breakfast in the garden.

Been a cool summer so far, but it's starting to deliver.

Fresh green beans from the garden on the menu for supper tonight.
Also getting lots of zucchini and cucumbers. Tomatoes probably within a week.

All of you! That is so unfair showing pictures ! I'm getting some gherkins. Armenians are just now starting to put runners out. Beans are blooming. Found one small cantaloupe growing. A ton of green tomatoes. The jalapeños are coming on. Green peppers are so so. Acorn squash are growing. I will have a lot of black berries and a few raspberries when they decide to grow and ripen.

Mid July update. Tomatoes I started are finally starting to look like something decent.
Peppers are hit and miss- the giant Marconi and garden salsa peppers look good, but the rest are stunted, so hopefully get some to turn around.
Deer jumped the gate and pounded peas for a night, so that crop will be light, but should have a really good bean, broccoli and Brussels sprouts crop.
Cucumbers look ok
And then there are the pumpkins and squash and gourds… they’ve been sprawling and climbing everywhere… hoping for a banner year. Had lots of volunteers that I transplanted so it’ll be fun to see what the mystery plants are.

And of course the weeds are unstoppable

Bonehead me boogered up some of my new raspberry plants while mowing today. Hoping there's enough left to recover and keep growing.

Things are growing on the Pacfic coast, critter problems this year though.
Have had to eliminate a couple of rabbits, always hate to do that.

My brother in law said an old guy told him to put wood ash around the plants and that would prevent the borers. He hasn't had any problems so far this year so maybe that guy knows something.

First peach harvest from the tree we planted a couple years ago. Not bad. A little small but thats to be expected. Texture is a little bleh but the flavor is really good. Waited a little too long on these so I may make a small batch of jelly from them. Not a great picture because I picked them in a hurry before work this morning.

We bought a lot of chicken wire to keep the bunnies out of the beds. Working so far.
Picked some carrots last night for the salad.
The cantaloupe is really growing and fast. No watermelons showing yet. They better hurry up they are running out of growing time.

 

[Sixmile]

another pretty good haul of rhubarb and my peas are doing the best I've ever had.

 

[Steiny77]

Just got our first tomatoes.

 

[IDFireLass]

Had my first raspberry yesterday morning. Then the robins found them. They now are on death watch! Also built some panels with chicken wire over a couple plants and found my bird netting and stretched them over the other berry plants. Have 4 tomatoes getting ready to be eaten. Got my first green beans yesterday. Found a tiny watermelon this morning.

We had been hot and dry for about a week so I watered the garden Saturday night. Was a chance of rain Sunday but not much. Well we got 9/10’s of rain Sunday so the garden is very wet now lol

 

[np307]

Tomatoes still doing okay. I didnt support them great but some of the vines found the welded wire trellis so we should be good. Second planting of squash is growing well. Probably 3 weeks out from the first pickings there. Second watermelon is almost ready. Got a bunch of cayennes I need to dry and birds eyes that are almost ready to pickle. Sunflowers finally opened up, one of my favorites. Ignore the weeds, that bed is done until fall.
