On the Brink

We are on the brink of harvest time.  I can see potential!

The second planting of cucumbers is growing like mad.

The first planting is almost ready to pick.

No cucumber beetles.  Good pollination.

I've only removed one poorly developed one

All of the peas are out. 

I don't mind looking at a bare bed now and then.

The soil is beautiful.  This bed was seeded with bush beans yesterday

Still my favorite view in the garden

A hint of color!

The Paul Robeson plants (both of them have blushing fruit)

Lots of tassles

And a baby-bump!

The cantaloupes are looking good.

but....  I can't even show you a female flower

...still waiting

The cucumbers might be getting good pollination but not the zucchini.

I've removed five shriveling squash.  So as not to waste them I've taken a bite of each :)

I have a jar of pesto ready for my first zucchini noodles.  Yum.

Finally a yellow cauliflower!  I also have two green and one white almost ready.  

I seeded the fall crop this past week (on the fifteenth) 

and they are already almost ready to transplant into cells..

I'm enjoying my portulaca pots

And my dinner plate dahlias

The apples are continuing well.  No additional drops since a scant June drop. 

And this is on the lazy tree!  The tree who has only set one apple a year and dropped it before it ripened....  11 apples still hanging on!  The other tree has 36+
