This is what one always hopes for in the middle of July! About the only vegetables that are slow coming are the peppers. We have had enough tomatoes, beans, Swiss chard, and summer squash that we had to make a trip to the local food pantry!
The yard-long beans (growing on the trellis's along the fence) are perhaps my favorite since I love to stir-fry. We are actually still eating from the kale and spinach that were the winter crop!
The flowers are also starting to look nice, and the marigolds and nasturtiums are especially prolific. The spider flowers are actually volunteers from last year. The obedience flower (right) is just starting to produce. They have been growing in the garden for years, but it was only last year that I realized they were not weeds!
