I picked a lot of pole beans, I usually don't plan these types of bean but the pillbugs have been getting to my Bush beans. 8-10 zucchini plants are getting bigger. One is having lots of baby female zucchini flowers. My okra plants are getting big, but not super big.
I forgot to check a later planted pot of Patty Pan squash and to my surprise my wife cam in with a bucket full. She stuffed a pair for dinner last night. Okra needs picking, Roma II beans need picking, wax beans need picking but the beautiful stand of lima beans bloomed their hearts out but the pods aren't filling out. Maybe that is just as well with no young backs around to pick such. With the promise of a warm September there should be enough okra in the freezer until next years crop produces.
Love garden surprises! Do you freeze the okra whole or sliced?
I ripped out my one zucchini plant. It was covered in powdery mildew, the flowers had been knocked off by torrential rains, and all of the new flowers were male. I put it out of its misery.
I did the same with out pitiful "garden"....pulled the tomato plants up. We got 4 tomatoes total. One green pepper from that one. I'm letting the cucumber plant stay in. 3 from that one.

on, my very favorite and as I mentioned I rarely even see it at the farmers markets anymore. As a kid I called them scalloped summer squash. I did get enough green beans for a meal a couple of days ago; we will have them tonight. I also probably have enough okra for dinner one night this week, with a lot more in the future. Otherwise as I have said, this year has been a disaster.

My first year ever for yellow wax beans and lots of them.

We've eaten summer squash until they are coming out our ears.
This old dog has learned a new trick. This is the daily drill. Some days twice. I never knew the camera used had a built in mic that could pick up the sound of the okra hitting the bottom of the bucket from 150' away.
expecting a cooler than normal Sept so it looks like we are about to hire our grass guys to tear down our fence, dismantle the garden and settle for totally raised containers next year. Our daughter has some that are about 3 ft high, great for the back back old ladies and men. I did pick a bunch of Okra yesterday and have about a dozen cherry tomatoes that will be ready next week with still some to come. But for the most part the season is over.
