Breakfast harvest two mornings in a row... YUM eggs with basil and chard and tomatoes.... too bad we had to get eggs from a friends chickens.... Next year we hope to be getting eggs from our own hens.! (Hmmmm, does that sound like we are counting our chickens before they hatch)?

The garden is doing great! Here is an overview of what is happening now! The pumpkin plant is taking off and starting to produce, The eggplants are ripening, the peppers are going nuts! We are finally getting tomatoes, the root veggies are looking good..... Lots of fun! |

The rutabagas were not quite as good as anticipated. They were just a touch bitter. I have been reading that they need some cold weather to sweeten. The beets, on the other hand are incredible! We have lots more and still need to plant another bed of root vegetables for late fall harvest. I just am not sure what to sacrifice... oddly the eggplant seeds we planted months ago have begun to sprout and our one eggplant start we purchased has gorgeous fruit on it which grows visibly each day!

We found a few more hornworms this week AND a couple of our biggest zucchini yet! One day we can see nothing and the next there is a zucchini the size of a watermelon! Go figure!
