Some of the Cubanelle and bell peppers as well as red onions are finished cooking and I’ll pick’em this week. I’m not sure when to harvest the garlic. By the looks of it potatoes are almost done and need mounding (I planted them in March). The corn is stretching at about 4 feet, but still have a long way to go. Beans are doing nicely and pears, blueberries and grapes are looking good if the birds leave ‘em alone. The only thing I’ve actually harvested so far were the strawberries (which are dormant now), some sunflower seeds and a few tiny Naga King peppers which turned red. They are mega-hot and will have to be tempered with loads of halapenos and caynnes to make chili powder. My Habinaro plants and tomatoes are flowering so I expect some fruit soon.

Oh my goodness....you could end up harvesting around the clock if all those things come together at the same time.

Good farmering, Drumbo!!
