Yay! My garden is in full production! To date, I have harvest over 22 lbs of produce (not including lettuce, herbs, onions that were not dried, or garlic bulbs - or any vegetable lost due to disease, pest damage, or rot). I can no longer go out to the garden with just my bare hands to harvest the day's fruits. Today I had to bring out the small harvesting bucket to help carry everything back to the house.  

I harvested my first cucumbers today, the last of the bush green beans (I need to plant more), and the first "Big Rainbow" heirloom tomato. While I am continuing to harvest cherry and Roma tomatoes, the summer squash is slowing down (the squash bugs are having a field day suckling on these plants).  I have several Sugar Baby watermelon forming and the spaghetti squash are looking nice too.

Oh what to do with all this produce?  I have it covered...
Yesterday I made a nice fresh tomato salsa using tomatoes, onions, and garlic from my garden. Today I made zucchini pancakes using zucchini (duh), garlic, onions from my garden (I had to buy the potatoes...maybe next year I will try growing potatoes). Gotta love summer! Yummy.
