Got rid of a few of my pepper plants and the one remaining is doing very well. The others just remained sickly no matter what I did. I really think they were poor quality from the get go. I felt like Jesus and the fig tree as in, if you're not going to produce then you're out of here!
A few of my baby corn seeds didn't germinate. I'll try a different company next time or just use regular sweet corn and harvest it early.
Everything else in the garden is going gangbusters as in corn, lettuce, tomatoes, and zucchini. My baby corn should be harvestable soon.
I did miss one zucchini and it got as large as a small baseball bat. I still don't know how I missed it! I like to harvest them before they get that big!

It's funny how giant zuchini, yellow squash and Cucumbers can hide. Wife makes zuchini bread out of the ones I miss.

Beans like to hide out too. You think you’ve got them all and you find 10 that went to seed.

My squash plants are so big a watermelon could hide in there. Picked 2 more gallons of raspberries' last night (just couldn't stand to watch them go to waste) up to 11 gal now. Also visited a local Blue Berrie farm and picked a gallon, They were ok but a few bugs and they're a couple warm days from coming on real good. 3 egg omelet with yellow squash for breakfast this morning with squash bread and blue berries. Life is good here

Think I could hide in my lone zucchini plant. I learned not to plant too many of them. They produce like crazy when they get going.

I think I’ll have enough garlic for a while.
All hung up to dry for a while.
Really nice harvest this year.

That’s not garlic. This is garlic.

Yeah. It’s really good.
Porterhouse and a burger for my Bride marinating.
Some roasted screwed new potatoes from the garden and steamed broccoli warming up in the bullpen.
I do love my garlic. It loves me back. Put the end of last years garlic in the food dehydrator a while ago. It’ll be my garlic powder for the year.
I’ll be eating that steak for a couple days. Don’t pound them like I used to.

I pulled 3 garlic from different parts of the bed and they look nice but only as big as golf balls.

I watered a lot this year when it started to get warm. Made a big difference. Mine are baseball sized. Can’t imagine what seed from this batch is gonna do next year.

I have watered good every morning but by time I get home at 4 the last thing I want to do is stand out in the sun. It’s already to hot today…. 78*

Wife and I returned from vacation and checked the garden. Lots of tomatoes, beans, peppers and garlic. Golf ball size too. Didn't get over 6 hours per day of the sun though. Had to separate the tomatoes to give them all some more growing room. The Romas are excellent but on the small size. Definitely doing some different plants next year. Have lots of herbs but hardly cooked with them.
