Garden is doing well this year. Swiss chard is great but the lettuce is almost done now.

I have the patty pan squash starting - love it then hate it. It is so prolific and just keeps on coming. A couple of baby tomatoes on some bushes but they have weeks to go. Wax beans should flower momentarily. Green italian beans were just planted (4 weeks after the wax beans so we are not inenated with beans). My peppers only do so-so in my garden and they seem the same this year. They are typically so easy to grow but not at this house (and I've moved them around as I have 3 different areas). I also have acorn squash but no flowers yet and herbs (basil, thyme and parsley). Not much else but good enough. 12 tomato plants as I do sauce and stuff. We'll see how it goes. Stay tuned.
