The first flush of the summer harvest has begun! This past weekend we celebrated our very first full scale harvest of something besides the salad greens which we've been enjoying for a couple of months now. (And would still be enjoying if not for the groundhog...)
Here's a quick peek at our first haul:
 |
| Broccoli and Cauliflower |
It got SUPER hot here the past couple of weeks which caused the broccoli and cauliflower to start to head towards bolting pretty quickly. This is actually the "seconds" of the broccoli. We had harvested the main heads last week because of the heat.

| Yellow Summer Squash |
The green squash got off to a slow start after it had to be replanted, but the yellow squash has been cruising right along. The one on the right is about the ideal size, the one on the left was let go a BIT too long. The problem with squash is that it seems to go from tiny to HUGE overnight!

| Bush Beans |
This is the first flush of the 2012 bean crop. I was actually surprised that these guys were ready to go before July 4th, but they were nice and plump. I've just finished the second planting of bush beans after the salad greens finished, but I had a few plants in just to bridge the gap before the climbing beans kick in. Speaking of climbing, the climbing beans and the winter squash are both going like crazy:
The tomatoes are really coming along now as well:
On the left, some Razzleberry Hybrids, and on the right some Zeebra heirlooms. (You can already see their stripes developing. After as slow start, the Romas are starting to ripen... just in time for the 4th!:
