Harvest is starting here in central WI. I might be able to taste the sweet corn I planted this year- deer fencing seems to be working so far! Cherry tomatoes are coming in for picking every day and slicers are starting to turn. String beans are real good and the peppers are great this year. I planted 120 potatoes plus there's got to be 25 volunteers from the wounded I discarded haphazardly last year. I'll be digging them up little by little as needed until the first frost approaches.Watermelons are getting noticeably bigger by the day and pumpkins, squash and zucchini are already huge.

Apples and hickory nuts still have a few weeks to mature. Cherry & pear trees were only planted two y/a and not producing yet.

Time to plant lettuce, radishes and spinach again.

How are your gardens doing?

ps/ what's a graden and how do I edit the title?

We're picking cukes, tomatoes, beans, jalapeno peppers, and blueberries every day. Getting a little tired of the cucumbers, but that's what happens every year, probably will make pickles.

Here in the land of salad greens, I've been harvesting kale, chard, lettuce, radicchio, and zukes. Tomatoes are always a little iffy here, and mine are not doing well at all. I will get some, but not as much as I've gotten in the past couple years.

I put some sprouting spuds in the ground, and they're growing great.

Strawberries and raspberries - meh. Too much rain/coolth in June I think.

My mint collection is growing like mad.

Can't eat the tomatoes fast enough! Come get some!


Other then that...terrible it's either hot OR it's time to build an ark. There is no in-between either.
