What's Going On Today

I spent Sunday cleaning up the garden and getting ready to prepare the now empty beds for the next planting.  Funny, I'm always at a lost this time of year of what to plant.  I just don't have the same excitement that I have in the Spring when I'm pouring over the seed catalogs.  I'm not really sure if I'm going to plant anything, I may just focus on seed collecting this year.  I've never collected seeds before and I would like to start.

Now for the good news.  The first Kellogg's Breakfast tomato was ready for picking today.  She didn't quite make 2 lbs. but 1.8 lbs. is not too shabby.  I can't wait to slice into it, but I will wait for my hubby to come home and brag (oops, I mean share with him).

The mixed bush beans are starting to produce beans, the only problem is I have to figure out what "beans" were in the mix.  I've identified the green beans and the purple hulls.  I've got to figure out what this guy is...

Looks like I might finally have some success with Okra, but the jury is still out.

The Japanese Eggplants have begun to taper down their production, but the Thai Green Eggplants are beginning to produce.

The Slicing Cucumbers have also begun to produce, especially since I removed the huge yellow squash plant that was blocking all of it's sunlight.
