no picks but i am pulling 5-6 squash a day.. probably pulled 25 total so far. Also pullimg 6-7 sweet banana peppers daily and a couple garden salsa peppers daily. Tomatoes are about ready also.

My snap beans will be ready in a week and butter beans in a couple more weeks. Peas and corn will probably be july.
Going to be alot of work in the next several weeks, i have a pretty large garden

Yea, I remember seeing yours from a previous thread. Sounds like you'll have your hands full and, more importantly, your stomach.

yeah but i enjoy the garden and that type of work. Grandpa kept me in it when i was a kid now im hooked lol.

and Tenfoe... nice looking harvest there! I dont ever plant taters myself but i will definitely be looking to dig a few once my snap beans get ready to pull. Nothing like some fresh snap beans with taters in them, some fried squash, cornbread, and sweet tea!

I have picked some squash, but now my plants are turning yellow and there's some mold-looking stuff near the base of the plants. Not sure what the hell I'm dealing with. My peppers, maters, cukes, and beans all look great, though. Hell, the butternut squash plant looks totally fine.

ETA - I forgot that I also picked an anaheim chili and a goliath jalapeno yesterday.

They really do make store-bought potatoes taste like cardboard.

Man those potatoes look great.

I've heard of a lot of different ways to plant them, do you just grow them in the ground?

I heard the bail of hay method works well.

That's some good pickins you got there. Won't be long before my sweet corn will be ready. All of my maters didn't make it. Didn't feel like planting again.

6 squash, 5 jalapenos, 10 cherry tomatoes...that be it.

My creoles are huge, but not thinking of turning, Bell peppers are starting to put on like gang busters. Cherokee is looking terrible, maybe I am just not destined to grow the heirlooms.

I picked 3 green tomatoes for a relative this weekend. That's it.

Everything with the exception of my cucumbers is loaded down though. The cucumbers are growing and crawling up the wire good, but they just bloom and the flower falls off.
