Early Harvest

I went out to the garden this morning but before that, in an effort to beat the heat, I took the pups up to the field for a run. It was only 9:00 a.m. so it wasn't too hot yet but it didn't take long to wear them out. This is how I like them to look! Relaxed and tired!


Especially this one. Though for him to be really worn out I'll have to do it again this afternoon and I don't think that's gonna happen as it's in the high 90's and super humid.


I dropped them off and headed out to the garden. It has been almost a week since I'd been out there. I really should have gone on Sunday because look at what I found.


The broccoli is winding down, at least the two I've already harvested whole heads from. The other 3 plants don't look like they are going to form heads at all. Weird.

This head of lettuce is really good size. H bought these iceberg heads by accident but we decided to plant them anyway and they've done pretty well, at least this head has.


The green bean plants were loaded and I got a pretty good harvest.


And the zucchini, there were 11 of them with at least 5 being way oversized. Last Wednesday when I checked them they weren't even ready yet. Guess this heat has really helped them take off. Now I gotta get busy making some zucchini casserole and I think the rest I'll freeze for the dog's food. Zoe especially loves zucchini.


I couldn't stay long, maybe an hour, because it was just getting too hot. I did promise to come back Friday evening to help harvest for the farmer's market on Saturday morning. I think I'm gonna sign up for that gig too. It's gotta be easier than weeding, right??
