Thanks for the ping. We’ve had rain. Gotta let the ground dry out. Garlic is harvested and potatoes are about ready to dig. Will need to plant some stuff - green beans and haven’t decided yet on what else.

We still have no tomatoes it’s been cooler than normal and everything seems to be slower than usual. We did get some volunteer squash.

We too finally got the rain we needed. We do use drip irrigation (I highly recommend it), but there is nothing like a nice soaking 2-day rain.

Baby peas and new potatoes, beet greens with vinegar and bacon, new lettuce, asparagus, green tomatoes, and of course yellow squash and zucchini, ready in our garden. They are the early summer foods that I was raised on. Love it!

Note to those who have the freezer space: You can cut zucchini into slices and freeze on cookie sheets. Then transfer to vacuum bags or freezer bags. Great for a quick saute, or let them thaw and drain and then dice up for other recipes. They will be slightly mushy, but in the middle of winter they’re yum. (And you know where they’ve been)
