Bad harvester

This always happens to me. Stuff gets out of hand. Exhibit A: club zucchini. 


But there's also some edible stuff. Wonderful delicate lettuce from a succession planting. 
 

Garlic

It's in - 120 heads, very good size. They got decent sun, decent watering, and not too much weed competition. I fertilized with miracle grow once mid-season. (I know, not organic... But I didn't have a good organic option right then and putting it off, in my world, means not doing it.)

Shell peas

Shell peas weren't as productive as sugar snaps (not their fault, they can be at just 2 feet tall) - but they were SOOOO sweet! We ate almost all of them raw in the garden. Ames eating the peas and delighting at feeding the dog the shells. 



 

Sugar snaps

I had a little trouble with blog connectivity from the phone so there are a few back posts to make. 

I must have harvested 4 pounds of sugar snaps this year, and could have had more if I'd been paying closer attention and not letting them get too big. 



 

Tomatoes!

Lets hear it for the variety "Fourth of July" which didn't quite make its deadline but nonetheless beat out the beefsteak that was planted a month earlier.
