Hell yea buddy, you know how it’s done ! I’ve got garlic, toms, cukes, and peppers too. Hope to start nibbling on some fresh sugar snap peas here in the next few days. Good idea for the staggered harvest, I gotta try that this year to keep ‘em coming through the fall.

I'm growing in grow bags this year. I haven't tilled up the garden, and might not. We've been getting green beans, squash and cukes for a couple weeks now. Yesterday and today I planted round two of green beans, squash and okra. I've been robbing the raised beds at the riverhouse for used soil, and mixing it with bagged soil and peatmoss, along with amendments. I ran out of bagged soil and peat, so a trip to town is in order before I do anymore planting. Walmart did a same day delivery of blood, bone and Epson this afternoon. A girl in her own car brought it. She couldn't have fit a couple bricks of peat in there though.

We are eating a squash a day. So far it's been acorn, butternut, green stripe (from compost pile) and spaghetti. The only one not to get ripe yet is the crook neck Amish. And green beans every other day. Cousin Tomas brought us half a bucket of new potatoes, and we have been cooking them with the beans.

Peppers and tomatoes are a couple weeks out. No blooms yet on okra.

This was the squash two weeks ago.
