What did you do in the garden today?

Rain overnight. Picked a handful of bush beans from May planting. First ones. Planted my 2 spinach substitutes and turnips. Slept well and feeling better.

Good hot, sticky morning here. Did my walk around the gardens. Everything is looking good right now. I’ve got 2 baby chocolate tomatoes now and some baby green beans coming in. The okra has more leaves today and the lima beans are climbing all over the strings I ran for them. The pole beans and summer squash are coming up in the 3 sisters bed. DD came over to pick the last of the peas. We ripped up the vines that were growing over the row of carrots and tossed them into the compost. After my coffee break I’ll be mowing the front yard and the chicken yard. The weed whacking will have to wait until we get some cooler temps. I’m hoping to get the backyard mowed later. I need to get to work cleaning up the patio too. It was sorely neglected during the planting frenzy. The Dragon Langerie beans, never had them but I knew what you meant @Sueby. My high school French kicked in and I assumed they were Dragons Tongue beans. They sound delicious.

Today's haul from the lower garden. Roma tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, onions and dill. Already pulled in a basket of green and gold Romano beans, ground cherries and chard from the upper gardens earlier today. Could've let everything get bigger before picking but I'm going to be gone for a couple days. Want to process what I can before I leave tomorrow.

Dragon Langerie

I can't even google langerie, as it assumes I mean lingerie.

I know those beans as Dragon Tongue, too. They are my favorite bean to grow. Best producer I have, tender, stringless.

Hello everybody! I went back a few pages and everyone's gardens looks like they are doing well!

The heat and humidity is something. I work early in the garden but it's hot out the door. Gardens doing well thankfully.

Been picking green beans every other day.

Almost have enough tomatoes to can a batch and will start picking purple hull peas next week.

Update pictures from July 4.
Back to front: Borage, purslane, calendula, goat's horn pepper, jalapeño pepper, habanero pepper.

The calendula exploded into bloom:

Calendula harvest (it is so vibrant, it's like I brought sunshine inside):

Back to front: Black diamond watermelon, echinacea

Potato bed #1:

Back to front: Lemon and pickling cucumber, cabbages now being attacked by loopers so probably won't produce heads, some dill transplanted in with the cabbages, and leeks.

Back to front: some chickpeas, some MacCaslan pole beans, slippery silks beans, and some Ojo de Cabra beans.

Back to front: Roma tomatoes, San Marzano (by far the biggest and happiest), yellow cherry tomatoes, Early Treat hybrid tomatoes, and some transplanted basil (if the weeds haven't smothered them).

Left to right, back to front: Red and yellow sweet bell peppers, sage, chives, thyme, cilantro, parsley, lettuce, cinnamon basil, opal basil, oregano, Egyptian walking onions, and a volunteer cilantro between the two yogurt cups.

One of my sweet peppers wilted, and I found a stalk borer inside:

Nasturtium, some marigolds, and some volunteer potatoes (out of frame at bottom of picture is the milkweed section, where the weeds are much bigger than the milkweed):

Back to front: Yellow corn, blue corn, red corn.

One rhubarb in the lower right-ish corner. The rest of this bed is where I will be putting this year's strawberry runners.:

Far back: Yarrow
Left side: Asparagus
Rest of the bed: Earliglow strawberries

Back to front: Carrots, dill, eggplants, and summer squash.

Potato bed #2:

Back to front: Hubbard squash, Tendergreen mustard, Shiraz tall top beets.

Back to front: Jaune Gros de Paris pumpkin, bull's blood beets, and some parsnips that decided to pop up after I gave up on them and put in the marigolds and nasturtiums.

Nasturtiums are starting to bloom:

I met a momma turkey and her chick (I couldn't tell if there were more or not) behind my garden, and that's how I learned that the wild berries are starting to ripen:

I dug one garlic bulb. I think they're ready.
