I've gotten TOMATOES, cucmbers, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, yellow squash, green beans, green onions, a few new potatoes & okra. My first watermelon is being picked today

Zucchini is growing faster than I can eat them here- gave alot away already. Just started getting some cucumbers- straight 8's, National pickling, and Pionsett 76's. Jalapenos are going crazy too- still green, picked a few and made Jalapeno cornbread. Have lots of vegatbles coming out but not ripe to eat yet- cherry & Juliet tomatoes are loaded but still green. Did have a few Cherry Bomb hot peppers- chopped and used on Quesidilla. Also a few cayennes that turned red- dried them already.

My harvest from yesterday. Pictured are my Bi-Licious sweet corn, Goliath and Husky Red tomatoes, Bush Pickle and Hybrid 2 cucumbers, Black Beauty zuchinni.


This spring I received a good harvest of strawberries. 15 quarts or so from the 3' x 15' bed I created last year.

The rest of my harvest includes: Beets, Radishes, Carrots, Turnips, Spinach, Several varieties of lettuce, Broccoli, Snap Beans, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Zuchinni, Corn.

The raccoons and squirrels chomped about 40% of my corn. What I got to eat was excellent sweet corn.

Incredible yields from my Black Beauty Zuchinni(2 plants) More than I ever remember harvesting. No sevin sprayed and no bad bugs on them as of late July.

Let's see. Spinach,broccoli, peas,onions,squash,tomatoes,cucumbers,radish,strawberries,string beans,lettuce,peppers,and lots of herbs.

Compared to most of you my list is shorter-tuff season and I'm still learning.

Red radishes, "Dakota" peas, red rasberries, "Fleet" sweet corn. Yukon Gold potatoes should be ready to dig out this weekend.

Still waiting on tomatoes, cucumbers, kentucky bush beans and some typical fall time harvestable vegies.

Seeing all the good pictures in posts on this forum makes me hungry all the time. Keep up the good work its inspiration for us still waiting!

I've been getting tons of crooked neck squash, dozens of tomatoes (slowing down now, GA heat) lots of bell peppers, okra, lots of hot pepper varieties, cucumbers, onions, only 2 heads of cabbage

All of the tomatoes have produced the best plant of the bunch is the tiny tim cherry tomatoes. It really produces a bunch of fruit.

The boldog hungarian spice peppers are producing really long peppers for the paparika supply so i'm happy with that. It's hard to crunch into powder though. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm thinking of getting a coffee grinder lol.

The green peppers produce but none really have the flavor I'm looking for. Any one have a good sweet bell flavor variety?

Beans,mators,onions,peppers still waiting on several squashes etc..oh and herbs..
my mators are slow to turn red this year?

Woodland, your picture is great. Looks like it is a picture.

We've had blueberries, plums, got figs yesterday, blackberries, radishes, green beans, squash, cukes, tomatoes, bell peppers, the okra is getting ready, the apples are ready but haven't eaten any, and the pears are ready too, and potatoes.

I can't seem to get strawberries to grow.

Eatting fresh stuff is such fun.

I've had lettuce (continental varieties -- Lollo Rosso, etc.), some small Roma cherry toms (but loads getting ready), Cucumber's, one early onion (as we ran out of shop bought ones, and it was nice!), plus a load of french beans.

I've also 'harvested' one small carrot (more a thining actually), but composted it as was too small to do anything with singly. My sweetcorn are looking almost ready too

in order of appearance, Spinach, radishes, snow peas, early girls, bunch? lettuce, (one little head), rhubarb, cilantro, dill, banana peppers, kung pao (tasteless) chilis(3 plants prolific but not good), zucchini, mesclun, japanese eggplant, leaf lettuce, basil, bush beans, cucumbers, champion tomatoes, pole beans,
Pretty good for 12X14 and a couple of pots on the deck.
