wow-amazing pics of gardens!
I have only planted peppers this year, in pots.
I love lemon cukes and I'll hope that it's not too late to grow some at this time of year.

I just bought a house and the first thing I did was was to make sure I had room to garden. Priorities ya know.

Lunch today:

Many more out there ready or will be ready in next 2 to 7 days!

Grape Roma's..... Orange-red, still need a couple days to full ripe. None of the full size tomatoes are turning yet. But when they do turn, I'll have bushels ready at once! (which works well for plans to can at least 50 pints this year, maybe even make some more tomato sauce to can).

Three pickings of green beans already done, with the last two pickings almost filling up plastic grocery sacks. And from only two short 10 foot rows. (already processed, so no photos).

"Two short 10 foot rows" of green beans. Yeah, right. We still have left overs from last year on one "short 10 foot row". And we've been eating them regularly. And we replanted that row.

Corn looks

Kinda "gardening"......

From a buddy's family homestead. Up in the hills, really accessible only with 4WD. The only way to pick blackberries! From the driver's seat of my old Pathfinder. With the A/C on. With the radio punching out classic R & R! I picked 3 quarts in about 2 hours without leaving the seat of the Pathfinder. Hard to beat!

About half the berries were thumbnail size. Love wild black berries!
