Picked my first cuke and a few tomatoes last week. Getting quite a bit of eggplant. Sweet corn should be just about ready. Pepper plants are loaded. Cauliflowers are massive.

Went to Indiana to catch the first two nights of USAC sprint week so I got nothing done in the garden over the weekend.
It was pouring down rain when I got home yesterday afternoon so I didn’t even go out to look at it.

I’ll get out there tonight. I bet there’s something yummy that’s ready to be picked.

I made a trip to Jeff City today, so that’s about all I got done. Meanwhile back at our little acre, hubby said we got 4 inches.

We finally got some black berries before the critters and birds. Maybe a quart, so I’ll be making some cobbler or jelly.

We had too many summer squash, so gave some to the neighbor. She tried to grow some last year, and didn’t get any. We have some cukes and beets. None are enough for a batch. More like a quart or two.

Hubby finally got a tomato that had turned kinda orange, so I told him better to pick it and bring it in before the critters get it. It’ll ripen indoors just fine.

His sweet corn is almost ready, just needs to fill out a bit more. I went ahead and cooked the ones he brought in and the flavor is great.

One of my corn patches is ready, and another has about a month to go. I didn’t bet much, because the seeds just wouldn’t germinate. Bad Seed I think.
