Just picked all of my German hardneck and Music garlic. Need to find places to cure them and keep them separate! I have never tried Music before, got it my default when Pinetree was out of my Georgian Fire.

Also picked my first green cabbage! Yum!

Yesterday, I pulled the last of my garlic. The bulbs were pretty puny this year. Next time, I'll rotate beds and add some phosphorus.

Picked the first Sweet Banana Peppers and Jalapeno Peppers today. Second picking of Sun Gold tomatoes - there are at least a hundred green tomatoes hanging on the two plants. There are some Golden Jubilee tomatoes about 3" in diameter, but it will be a while before they start ripening.

Just picked 3 cukes and my first ever straight neck summer squash, larger than probably I am supposed to let them get, but I literally went a few days and BAM! Foot long yellow squash! Can’t wait to taste it!

Garlic curing….

Cukes and summer squash, especially Zucchini, loves to do that to you! I can check the garden one evening, and find cukes or squash that are 2" or 3" long, and I think they'll be ready in a couple days. But, I walk out there the next afternoon and they are 8" long. Smile

Will harvest these Tomatoes today.

Started drying my Candy Onions and TX sweets a few days ago. They didn't get as big as I expected but we had a long dry season plus they weren't mulched.

Pulled a few more carrots & beets today. Soon that bed will be empty and will get re-planted with new beets and carrots for this fall's harvest.

OG. I'll also be planting fall beets and carrots. I usually plant them in the spring but not this year. I guess beets are just about my favorite veggie. No one in my house eats my beets. ( Did I just say "eats my beets) My wife says they have an earthy flavor. I say, Yea. Thats why I LOVE them.

When will you plant your Beets and Carrots? I'll follow your lead. Even if I get them in late, they'll be planted in my hoop houses and heavily mulched if it gets cold.

I love my beets! Most get eaten cooked for dinner, but some get pickled for winter salads. This evening we had Whole Roasted Beets. Did I mention that I love my beets? Very Happy

I plant the fall crop of beet and carrots by early to mid-August, and they are ready for harvest by mid-October.

**Scorpio Rising** 7/15/2021, 7:09 pm

I am going to try a fall crop of beets, I have never done that.

**donnainzone5** 7/16/2021, 12:34 pm

Actually, a deer picked my salad greens last night. Perhaps, however, the stumps will grow back.

I sprayed Bob-X near my roses and other tempting plants but neglected my SFG. Lesson learned!

Picked some leaf lettuce, spinach, and Swiss Chard this morning. The Black Seeded Simpson Leaf Lettuce is about done for this year, it is starting to bolt to seed. The Swiss Chard, though, is in full production mode.

Brussels in Summer!

No, not my vacation plans, alas. A box of Brussels sprouts planted last October. They aren't all great quality, but most of them can be trimmed and used in stir fry.

Picked some Jalapeno Peppers and a few Sun Gold tomatoes. The peppers will be canned with some garlic to provide Pickled Jalapenos for this winter. A few of them might turn into Jalapeno Poppers, though. The tomatoes won't last long.....

Tons of stuff picked today. Red Kuri (not really ready but vine succumbed to SVBs), yellow summer squash, few Sungold cherry tomatoes, cucumbers (one hidey—big!), green onions, Dragon Tongue beans, and a small red cabbage head!

More yellow squash yesterday, 4 cucumbers, and a mess of Dragon Tongue beans! I’m going to cook the beans and freeze the squashes. Will pickle the cukes this weekend. Oh and my first big tomatoes; yellow Brandywine! Excited to taste that!

You won't believe how sweet it is! You'll wonder why you didn't grow them before! Very Happy

Amazing flavor! Made a BLT for dinner and wow! So sweet and yummy! Thanks for the recommendation!

Dug up my Yukon Gold potatoes last night after work, and a few of the carrots. Taters are waiting in the garage to go to the basement, need to find a suitable box then “fork” for missed tubers!

OhioGardener 8/3/2021, 5:28 pm

Picked the first Zucchini of the year.

Nice! My zucchini vine didn’t survive to yield….not sure what happened.
