The early greens have been harvested and put away in the freezer.
The first summer squash will be ready in about a week. Garden sugar snap peas have been in abundance.
Green tomatoes fill the vines and tiny peppers are appearing on the plants.
I would like to share with you a garden success story from our gardening friends Wes & Roberta Price of Lecanto, Florida.They enjoy gardening, it is a labor of love for them. They grow and enjoy fresh picked garden vegetables. The Price's grew our Black Turtle Bean seed this season. I was overjoyed to see the beautiful bean photos they shared with us. Look below to see their lovely Black Turtle Beans.
Thank you Wes & Roberta for sharing your story with us!
