Saturday morning check in: Picked my first 'mess' of green beans this week and harvested potatoes from my little patch!

I've been watching my first ripening tomato all week...will pick it today for a scrumpous BLT today!

I'm thinking of replanting that area in peas...food for me and for the soil.

My zucchini plants will soon be pulled...in time for the straight neck yellow squash that I planted from seed. By the end of the summer, I may turn into a sqash. LOL

Thanks for this thread, Red Devil. I love to read it and all the posts of people who enjoy growing things as much as I do. Tarheel: My grandpa always planted his fall crop of turnips by August 15.

You should see the tomatoes plants I am growing from seed I saved last year. There is NOTHING like growing a nice fat garden right from seed...

I have cantaloupe, although a long time until they are pickable! Picked my first bell peppers this week also cherry tomatoes are being picked like mad. Got to get them before the birds. Your slicers are ahead of mine.

Still have a few zukes to come off in a few days. Did not think to put in yellow squash after the zukes are done. Will check out some possibilities later today.

Got my first few eggplants growing, finally. I planted it late so am anxious to see some results. Cukes are still producing nicely.
