"Greasy" beans, some tasty long brittle green beans that I've forgotten the name of, steamed with carrots - I forgot the name of those, too, along with curly kale, basil and rosemary. Banana smoothie although that's more of a yard food than garden food. Made peach jam, too. The tangerines are almost ripe as well as pineapples are starting to almost change color.
other than herbs, nothing yet: I am guessing the tomatoes are a couple of weeks away, same with the beans. We have a few, very small bells but they are a long time away and I saw a couple small, yellow squash yesterday plus the bee to go with them, hopefully we will pick our first in about a week. They grow pretty fast. As for cukes, lots of blossoms, no fruit yet.
So jealous!!! We're lucky if we get tomatoes by mid-July!
Me too, and your gardens in MA are a couple of weeks ahead of ours in New Hampshire. However, I am happy to report that I am picking 3 or 4 strawberries each day, and all of the herbs are going like crazy! Chives, garlic chives, oregano, thyme and parsley have been harvested weekly. Now my chives have all gone to flower, and I am looking for a way to preserve them--love that mild chivy/oniony flavor

Isn't Arkansas on the equator or pretty near it?
Shouldn't you be on your third picking of everything????

Here's a link to get you started but there are places all over the net. I usually freeze mine or make chive garlic butter. Yum.
