Lettuce: We’ve eaten it all. I’ve cut the remaining plant stalks down to the ground. If current activity is any indication, we may well get a second harvest in early fall!

Zucchini: We ate those two perfect ones, and there are a few more growing on the plant, but they’re not looking well. I’m not sure if it’s the weather or something else that’s bothering them. The plant seems otherwise healthy, so a little research is likely called for.

Tomatoes: The plants are laden. The tomatoes are all bright green. Please don’t let them all ripen on the same day.

Eggplant: Blossoms, but nothing resembling eggplant just yet. I’m not sure what to expect.

Peppers: Lots of blossoms — we’ll have enough jalapenos for every Mexican restaurant in town if they all turn into peppers. The regular cooking peppers have blossoms too, but again, nothing resembling anything edible, and the timetable is unknown.

There sure is a lot of guesswork in gardening.
