i just took in my first 4 hungarian hot wax peppers today. i only plante about 3 weeks ago, so it was a surprise.
they weren't hot and didn't speak hungarian...
but they still tasted good. they'll be going into a dish of veal and peppers on monday.

Kathleen transplanted okra (she started with seed). The plants are 6 to 8 inches tall right now... AND they have pods!!!!!!! Joy!
They are tiny, but they are there.

My DH said that this is the last year that he is planting tomatoes. The "darn" ground squirrels or chip monks, what ever they are called, are eating them all. He has put chicken wire around all the plants and they still get in. He has even sprayed with a product that is suppose to keep them away and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. He said that all the money he has spent this year on these plants, and all the watering he has done is wasted. Next year he is just going to go the the farmers market and buy them.
Yum, fresh okra!!!
I pulled our shallots out today.

Roses love Epsom salts in the soil. Not a lot, I would suggest that you go to Growing Roses - How to Plant, Grow and Take Care of Rose Plants in Your Garden - BHG.com for additional information. There are other sites you can google. Just type in "growing roses".

Wonderful looking produce here! I just do a little container gardening - my back yard is almost all lawn so I just use what room I have on the patio. Here's two of my patio tomato plants, they are doing really well for as small as they are. They started producing fruit around mid May and have been giving me a few a week since then.
I also have some green onions, chives, and basil. Would LOVE to have the room for more, but don't really want to give up any lawn space.

Thank you, Kylie. Usually they are all on the patio floor, but I was doing some trimming and checking for worms so set them on the table.

Thanks Addie. I will look at that site. And what a great tip to add Epsom salts. I have never heard that one. I just hope I can have some nice roses that last.

So--out at the farm, the following were picked yesterday:
cabbage, cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli, beans, kale, swiss chard, beets, kholrabi, a smidgen of lettuce, a few peas, and onions.
What can I do with all of those?

Quite a haul!
For the zucchini, you might try this:
Slice lengthwise, a little egg wash, dredge in seafood breader mix (failing that, use some flour or corn meal mixed with Old Bay Seasoning to taste), salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly fried till golden.
