Well, the garden is pretty much either at it’s peak or just past.

We got one feed of peas (they were great) and that was it.  The onions, radishes, carrots, swiss chard and lettuce were completely choked out, nothing ever happened.  We got one feed of beans, they’re done now too.

The cucumbers and squash are all over the yard.  They’ve spread like crazy and have finished flowering.  So hopefully we will see gourds and cucumbers soon.  The tomatoes are dominant, taking up probably a third of the garden (and that’s two plants). We had a feed of fried green tomatoes but I was the only one actually interested in eating them.

Junior has picked about 4 green peppers - they’re not ripe yet but he’s anxious.  He just appeared in the kitchen one day, proudly displaying the peppers.

The corn is only about 2 feet high but there’s quite a few cobs growing.  If they continue, we’ll likely have enough corn for one, maybe two meals.  We’ll see!

One thing we’ll be doing differently next year is planting the tomatoes and potatoes in a seperate plot.  I’ll also be spacing stuff out a bit more - it’s surprising how well stuff grows in these boxes so it’s not hard to over do it.
