I have posted on my garden twice before. Reaching another month end, I decided to post again.

First, through the month we started getting some harvest. July 10, near the last of the snow peas, Strawberries and zucchini.
July 12, walking onions and the first harvest of Norland potatoes.
July 20, I harvested the first of our garlic, Italian softneck, and our first bush beans.
Just today I harvested Zucchini and Patty Pan squash.
I also harvested my Music and Yugoslavian Garlic.
The garden itself continues to chug along. The flower bed I rotate through my vegetable garden continues to do well.
The tomatoes are sizing up some good fruit but will be awhile before it colours up. Here is the Stupice.
The Manitobas
The Ultra Girls.
Of course, the cherry tomatoes have been producing for a couple weeks. Here is my Sweet Gold.
We have had one feed off the bush beans and more are coming.
We have harvested about 1/3 of our potatoes.
And just over 1/2 our garlic.
Strawberries continue.
The lettuce on the left is about to bolt but succession planting has left us a nice harvest on the right.
More green onnions from our third planting.
Several planting of carrots are coming and we have pulled the pea plants that are finished.
We are finally starting to get some peppers forming.
We've only had one cucumber from the bush cucumbers and it was bitter. We have had 2 weeks of hot drought and the future ones should be better with more water and cooler weather.
The pole beans are just starting to blossom.
We are getting more and more zucchini,
and patty pan squash.
Soon it will be salsa and relish! I love this time of year. There are great eats in the garden.
