3rd year of this garden,been eating beets, carrots, radishes ,red swiss chard, the best peas I've ever grown( Alderman or "telephone peas" they are 6-7 feet tall and no mildew!) Weed, peppers and tomatoes (Italian oxheart and orange roma+3 tomatoes from last year(big mystery) are all flowering, along with about 400-500 lbs of various potatoes(i'm estimating from last year)150 purple garlic bulbs(the easiest plant to grow EVER) 25 strawberries (small and intense sweetness) and my perennial herbs -rosemary at 3 year, greek oregano at 8 years, chives at 19 years old.(grandma). My favorite thing about summer is waking up and watering my garden then giving away my produce to my friends. This includes my weed strains ( Raspberry Cough, Jacky White, and Clown Royal.) Hooker's blue corn and 4 kinds of basil. Scarlet Emperor runner beans (beautiful flowers) pinto beans and black coco turtle beans. Whew!
