"Once the garlic is up,..."

We pulled ours three weeks ago, (central Connecticut) they are hanging up in our basement. Just finished the last of the scapes yesterday, mmmmm.

Great rebound year for zuchinni - we are swimming in them.
Green beans are being picked daily.
Have picked grape tomatoes, but the rest are week or so away.

Same with peppers, yellow squash, and cukes, another week or so.
Getting too hot for lettuce, they're done until september.

Strawberries, gooseberries, and raspberries have come and gone - flash-frozen to wait for "Jam Day"!

My tomatoes, the bulk of the sauce ones, are now a light yellow. Those are the determinate ones.

The indeterminates are at various stages of ripening.

I’m keeping an eye on the garlic as I figure if I let it go more than two days, I’ll miss prime harvesting time.

Tomorrow is supposed to be very hot and thunderstorms evening and into Monday, when the temperatures will moderate. I expect to start needing to harvest stuff by Tues, I’m guessing.

I will give the soil a chance to be picked over by the birds, We have a few that are almost living in the garden. Like it’s their personal smorgasbord. I saw a hummingbird as my tomato plants yesterday. He was picking up a meal. I have NEVER seen that before. I need to find some more hummingbird attracting plants.
