I can't belive it's mid July and I'm still picking peas. No complaints. Unlike last year's planting, these peas are quite tasty, edible pods and great in stir fries or just plain raw in salads.
Wow, you don't just inhale all of them out of han—oh. Of course NO ONE would do that... Peach pie sounds amazing, btw!
Garden looks beautiful, @adirondak5!
@karenerwin That is a productive day berry picking...for you and the thorns, it seems. Happy eating, berries are the best.
@Sueby, last year we had so many summer squash I couldn't give them away. Ended up shredding them, piling 2 cups into wax paper packets, and freezing the packets in zip-top bags. Worked a charm! They can be a wee bit mushy depending upon what I do with them, but they still taste good. No difference between the ones frozen raw and the ones I blanched and lightly salted, either. @Wee Farmer Sarah is right about zuc ribbon salad, too. They don't need to be cooked—plus they make for a refreshing salad. Excellent in place of pasta, too.
@igorsMistress Isn't it funny how gardeners always seem to have the worst soil? Bunny manure should *really* help you out!
@NewBoots Do you eat your pea shoots? I keep hearing that they're edible, but have never taken a nibble...
So sorry about your Wyandotte, @Sooner Magnolia! Hope the bludgeoning of the culprit helped you feel a tiny bit better.

Not much going on here today; it is very hot, so I'm waiting for the sun to begin drifting down behind the trees before heading into the garden. Couple of pictures from the other day, though.
The borage is coming in mutant pink now just to annoy me, I guess.

This season, all the most fashionable poppies are wearing their caps rakishly askew.
A very zebra-y Green Zebra.
Happy gardening!
