I’m going to trellis long beans this morning before it gets too hot.

I harvested my first eggplant and cucumber of the season this afternoon. Garden is starting to pick up momentum.

I’m in full “can’t pick ‘em quick enough” tomato season. Made some killer gazpacho over the weekend.

I’m looking forward to getting there. So far, I have only harvested a few cherry tomatoes. My vines are full but the tomatoes are still green.

The heat is taking a toll on my garden. It hasn’t rained in forever and no matter that I’m watering everyday it isn’t the same as a nice rainstorm.

I harvested a bunch of okra this morning. Okra loves the heat.

Nice harvest, Bob!

I’ve grown through everything here, although neighbor just brought over tomatoes. Which is nice.
