Its been a very good year so far. Plenty pf pickles and relish put up( both cucumber and zucchini). I'm enjoying the new tomato varieties recommended on here. Sun Gold, Purple Cherokee, Celebrity and Yellow Pear will be planted again next year. Still waiting to sample the Green Zebra, Atomic Grape, San Marzano and Ox Heart. The dehydrator will be in full swing for the next month. My son has been making an excellent salsa with smoked Hungarian Wax and Sweet Hot Peppers.

Monarchs searchers have taken over my neighborhood which is wonderful for the Monarchs and the searchers, but if anyone finds them and cannot raise them, please put them into a closed plastic container and drop them off at Charlie's Alternators where we can pick them up and get them into boxes to be raised and released. We have 500 tags to fill! If anyone sees my feet sticking out of a ditch in the vicinity of milkweed, then please get me onto my feet so I can go to the next location to find more.

Looks as though the tomatoes will be fabulous. Lots of cukes. Fair crops of broccoli and cauliflower. Nothing much with the peppers and eggplant so far. Onions are larger than usual. I'll be trying the cardoon soon. Cabbage looking good. Odds and ends are doing well.

Update on our garden. All is very well, the only problem this past week is that it rained everyday and we couldn't get into it. So we had some very large squash, green and wax beans. I'm so happy that it's doing so well, but to be honest, it's kicking my butt this year trying to keep up with everything Here's hoping everyone is having a great garden!
