Hope you enjoy them too.<br /><br />Our weather has been all over the place this year, so plants don't know if they're coming or going. Peas have done really well though, especially my yellow mangetout (snow peas) in the front garden which have been much admired as an unusual sweet pea!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388175819512214533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-34704484647978129452011-07-06T03:47:57.305-07:002011-07-06T03:47:57.305-07:00We are harvesting bushels of potatoes.

It looks like I'll have summer squash ready to harvest in the next few weeks. Other than that, I'll need to wait out the tomatoes.

I replanted that area with chard which is thinking about maybe getting bigger. <br /><br />My cabbage is doing ok, as long as I can keep the bugs out of them. All of my herbs are doing well and my zucchini has lots of flowers on it, so there is hope there. <br /><br />My Lisa Under the Redwoodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-26647436883203642512011-07-05T02:18:45.260-07:002011-07-05T02:18:45.260-07:00We're in southeastern PA where it's really...We're in southeastern PA where it's really dry right now. However, we've been picking beans and tomatoes, and our broccoli is still producing an amazing amount every other day. I did my first batch of pickles for the year on Sunday.<br /><br />Every year is different. We will have tons of grapes in August, and yet, very little from the black raspberry plants which normally produces Barb @ A Life in Balancehttp://alifeinbalance.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-6482975855989704582011-07-04T23:25:36.491-07:002011-07-04T23:25:36.491-07:00I tried pickling ours this year- mostly because I ...I tried pickling ours this year- mostly because I noticed they were there right before I was headed out of town and no one else here cooks. I like to cook them up in greens too. <br />My cucumbers and squash are just plain sad. The eggplant is itsy (I'm about to pull it).
