I actually picked my first tiny little cuke, plus I looked outside and saw a bell pepper (not very big) on the ground. I don't know if some creature got it or what,but it was spoiled as well as off the plant. I am sad.
Blueberries and black raspberries. The raspberry bushes came with the house, but I transplanted some to better areas. I've gotten 3 or 4 cups so far. I eat them out of hand and have frozen some for smoothies. I'm getting more blueberries, and the plants are mostly in their final locations in the year. Just two more to move this fall.
They need acid soil, and there is one spot suitable for them. I'd rather not amend the soil, so they're all going in the same place as all the other acid-lovers. I've also been eating mulberries every day. The man who owns Satyr Hill nursery gave me a cutting of an elderberry he had at the nursery. I may need to visit and ask what kind it is.
It has MASSIVE flower heads. Like bigger than my head. The native sambucus canadense I planted in other places in the yard have smaller flower heads and are much less vigorous. Now the elderberries and blackberries are setting fruit. Yesterday I had some lettuce, beets and swiss chard in soup.
I picked a few tomatoes, peppers and a couple dozen mini cukes. I have the cukes in ice water, will make some sour pickles today. BTW, don't ask what mini cukes are or how I got them, I have no idea, but I did and they are...
12 Shi$hito peppers, 9 Polostra-Rokita peppers, 5 Sweet Banana peppers, 1 Eightball zucchini, 3 Cocozella di Napoli squash and tons of basil and marjoram. Grilling the squash with some peppers and onions to go alongside some lemon garlic pork chops and yellow rice.
Harvested 30 more various peppers and another Cocozella squash. Garden is going nuts this year!!
