Everything is big and bushy in the garden. I've managed to stay on top of the cabbage looper invasion and harvested lots of broccoli greens today for Mao Mao and I. The cherry tomato plants are full of blossoms and a few fruits and my Cherokee Purple is flowering. The shuyo cucumber has several 5" long fruits on it but they are about as thick as a pencil at this point. The beans are just beginning to produce and look like they could be a prolific variety. I threw a few more carrot seeds into the ground in the bare spots despite the unfavorable moon planting conditions.
The harvest today was surprisingly bountiful: garlic, kale, broccoli greens, carrots, purple onions, beans, and peas. I enjoyed most of it for lunch. Ahh, the sweet rewards of my gardening efforts!
