What did you do in your garden today?

Deer, the love those bean tops! Thankfully beans usually recover.

July 2nd and my first harvest (well not really if you count the handful of strawberries I got and 4 cherry tomatoes). It is small in comparison to some of yours but with our cooler than average spring, I am not complaining. Lots more flowers on everything, so more to come! Had to thin out the 2 oni ok and so I will put them in a cold summer salad.

@FarmerJamie that first bloom or fruit is so gratifying -- especially if no garden for a while!-- I'm with ya. . It's downright exciting!!!!!

Received a good amount and much needed of rain yesterday afternoon. Planted extra tomato plants in the cold frame last night, and most have small tomatoes.

So far harvested kale, onions, lettuce, and garlic scapes.

More blackberries, my wife said she canned them whole in ultra light syrup because "you don't need all that sugar". I think we have enough blackberries put up for the year now. Elderberries are looking like they are next, she has silicone molds for gummies.

@CrealCritter Sell me some,lol

ok, I know this is not the place but I can barely contain myself. This moving from the city and becoming a homestead woman is no joke...... Peeps will be here soon! As I am listening to worship music, So Will I by Hillsong United Australia, something made me look at the ring camera and at :18 you can hear peeps and her answering to them, OMG! GOD IS REALLY IN ALL OF CREATION!!!!

Yes, they are here and already wanting to play peek-a-boo, lol

Just looked from outside the fence today. We got some great rain \o/

I see sugar baby water melons. It won't be to much longer now

I should have planted some musk melon and cantaloupe. It would have been a good year for it. Oh well there's always next year.

Oh well there's always next year.

A gardeners favorite saying...

Been so dry here for June that our blackberries were just dry nubs! Elderberries are full of tiny berries and hope I'll get a decent crop...if they draw enough moisture. They grow near lower, moisture sites, so hopeful! May have to help mother nature this year.mine are wild patches.

That's what I call a deep watering!

After all the trouble these two rows of blue lake green beans gave me. This is a pleasing sight. Sowing shallow in a trench seems to be the key for blue lake. They are finally starting to send up flower stems.

Squash has gone plum nutty bat crazy. Just think if I fertilized it? The thought frightens me. 8' between rows they say they might want to rethink that spacing. What in the world we gonna do with all this squash? It's a good thing National Sneak Some Zucchini On To Your Neighbors Porch day is coming up soon. My neighbors may get more than just zucchini, this year.

Good day! I have never had zucchini. If they are like cucumbers or pickles, no thank you. If they are like pumpkins, I might give it a try.

Love those huge rows of banana peppers. Don't eat the but surely look good. Waiting to finish errands so I can go and do some grass removal .

Zucchini is really good, same with summer squash. But butternut squash is delicious. Acorn squash (winter squash) is extra delicious baked in the late fall early winter.
