Gathered enough green beans today (and a tiny purple one that I couldn't resist) to actually have enough to eat as a side dish today. There are still 30 or more tiny, tiny ones that will hopefully be ready to eat next weekend when I return home.
The harvest actually started in June with the first of the garlic. This place is from last week - the last of the small garlics to be cured and the first little beans to be picked.
I just love the colors and textures of the hard necked garlics. It was a cool, wet Spring, and many of the garlics did not bulb up as much as I expected. Still, my house smells either delightful - or stinky - right now, depending how much one loves the stinky rose.
Herbs that were chopped fine and added to my home grown eggs this morning: a sage leaf, a touch of oregano, and some tender new growth from my rosemary.
I worried about taking my eye off the zukes for 5 seconds to go on business travel. While I did not find any that were baseball bat sized, I did find one that was as long and as thick around as my fore arm! Won't have time to do anything with it, and there are 5 young ones on the vine right now, so I think I will slice it length-wise and let the chickies devour it tomorrow.
