There have been some successes, some failures, and some question marks in the garden so far this year:
: what I thought was going to be a small green bean harvest is turning into a huge one. We could feed our family of five heapfuls every other night. Yum.
: unbelievably (to me), we have at least one cantaloupe. Yum. Yum.
: not sure what is going on with the broccoli again this year. Last year it didn't come in until September. It looks like that is when we will be harvesting it again this year (or not at all)
: pickling cucumbers are coming in all over the place and when these plants are done, we have a second and third round at the ready.
: our edamame plants have beans all over them but I am still unclear about when to harvest. Have you grown edamame before?
: of our nine (albeit young) blueberry bushes, I think we might have harvested ten berries. I love those catbirds but next year I am not going to share all of my berries with them.
: our lovely lettuce has only just now bolted so we have been eating a fresh salad nearly every night this summer.
: our raspberry bushes did not flower this year. They are only a year old. I am hoping this will be different next year.
: carrots are growing strong and coming out about 8-10 inches long tasting of the earth, their green, brown and orangeness is awe-inspiring.
: our cauliflower hasn't come to a head yet. Hmmmm.
How does your garden grow this summer?

Your broccoli looks huge! Wow! I'm envious of those pickling cukes our cucumber plants are small and unimpressive right now. Hoping they suddenly go crazy but I'm not holding my breathe. We're finally starting to enjoy peas in our garden and the lettuce and baby carrots are scrumptious!
Mine? Not much at all, but yours looks terrific! I've never grown edamame before, but I do love to eat it! ;-)
Wow, a melon! yum I wish we could grow those. We've had a cold spring so our garden is all over the place these days.
That canteloupe is exciting; I ponder planting them each year, but always chicken out. We're in a lettuce lull right now; can't wait until the next batch of seedlings are big enough to eat!
