Pickin' and Grinnin'

We've been too busy working in the garden to do any blogging. We've already had our main harvests of broccoli and cabbage. The cucumbers are coming in about a dozen a day right now. The tomatoes are just starting to ripen. The bell pepper plants are taking off now that it's good and hot. The eggplant are forming fruits, despite all the damage to their leaves from flea beetles this spring. I'm hoping they'll continue to recover. The zucchini are trying to take over the whole garden and have lots of flowers. The okra plants are about thigh high and looking good.

The cabbages had caterpillar damage but only to the outer leaves. Those are the first roma tomatoes of summer. 
We got our canning supplies this week, and we'll probably start pickling some cucumbers this week. More pictures and updates soon.
