I keep forgetting to take pictures of my harvest but today I remembered!
- I pulled a carrot to see how they were doing. He was only about 4-5 inches long so they aren't really ready to come up yet.
- A yellow squash - my first! Isn't it so pretty!!!!
- A handful of green beans (bush snap variety)
- The last few sugar snap peas. Including one mammoth pea that must have escaped my eye for the past few weeks. Check it out when I split it open.
We ate him but to be honest, at this size, he wasn't that tasty.
Everything got tossed in a salad for dinner except for the yellow squash. He's going into dinner tomorrow. I'm thinking of some kind of pasta dish. Anyone have any recipes that require one beautiful homegrown yellow summer squash?
The heat has really caused the garden to come alive. Here are some brandywines.
and some Cherokee Purple
No lady parts on my cucumbers yet but tons of male flowers! Come on ladies!!!! We are dying for some fresh cucumbers...
My parents think it's hilarious that I know if my flowers are male or female but it doesn't take long to figure it out when you are counting down the days till your first lemon cucumber!
