I am so excited! We have been able to harvest both squash and zucchini over the past week. I am actually making the first loaf of zucchini bread right now!  I am hopefully that we will be able to enjoy lots more of these fresh and also have enough to preserve.  I did find that we have 6 bags of squash casserole and now 3 bags of shredded zucchini.

I cant decided if the yellowing of the potatoes is due to all the rain we have had (six inches or more in a month) or are they starting to finish?

This is the watermelon bed along with 2 volunteer tomato plants that are HUGE!

This close bed has 2 okra plants, a marigold and a couple of cucumbers. We did not get any. cantaloupe to germinate in the front bed but replanted some cucumbers this weekend. The last plastic bed has banana peppers and marigold.

These peppers are starting to look better!

Waxman peppers are really starting to look great!

This includes green beans, loofa, tomatoes and peppers.

This flower bed is stunning!  The sunflowers are over 6 foot tall in the back!

Several cantaloupe plants  are growing, I removed a very large cosmos plant from this bed!

We have removed all the snap peas and replaced with green beans. We are still getting spinach and the gum drop tomato is growing!  I am planning to plant pumpkins in this bed in July.

I am currently planning to pull all of the cosmos plants from the greenstalk on the back deck this week and plant a combination of green beans (bush), cucumbers and peppers. I will try to get pictures of this to share.   Honestly after that I am not sure how often I will continue to share these updates but I am still very hopeful and excited to see what we are able to produce this summer!
