I’ve been picking wild blackberries this past 4 weeks or so; some as big as the end of your thumb.

Now they’re about spent, but there may be a few more quarts out there. I just have to look around more.

Getting real hot and muggy in the daytime here in South Alabama.

My high bush Southern blueberries are starting to be ready. I just picked a pint or so of fat, juicy berries with more to follow over the next two weeks.

My silver queen corn is just starting to tassel up. No silks yet. Most plants are still very dark green and about 5-5 & 1/2 feet tall.

Pole beans are up to 6 feet now—scarlet runners blossoming like crazy—can’t miss ‘em.

Cabbage and broccoli are about finished now. Got about 50 pounds of cabbage and two dozen broccoli heads. Now mostly side shoots.

Onions have toppled over. I let them dry a week and them pull them.

Lettuce all went to seed so tilled it out and planted cucumbers and squash.

I have lots of collards gone to seed. I have Alabama Blue, Carolina Yellow and Georgia collards. If you want some seeds send me a self-addressed stamped envelope. PM me if you’re serious.
