I just had to show y'all this monster of a zucchino that grew this week! The crazy thing was 3 feet long. It looks like the first round of squash is starting to slow down, which is right about on schedule. I'd say we will have another good 2 weeks of them, then it will be a couple weeks before the next round starts to come on. The cucumbers are starting to lose a few vines but are still producing nicely.

It looks like the tomatoes are FINALLY starting to ripen!! I've been giving them pep talks daily to try to give them a boost!

The sweet corn is making some very nice ears, so now begins the battle with the deer, raccoons, and birds. The popcorn is also making very nice ears, so when the first bit dries I'll send those along in the baskets.

The green beans will be ready next week, too, so get ready for those!

I believe that's all the updates I have for this week. Have a great week and don't forget to wash your veggies!!
