KenW, do you or anyone else plant kalarabi?? Seems like the last 3-4 years there is alot of rutabaga seeds mixed in. Pisses me off. Like a gotta get an extra package of kalarabi seeds to get what I want.

Can you tell the difference between a rutabaga and a Kohlrabi Glenn?  Maybe you pulled the kohlrabis.

We pulled our first radishes tonight.  They are great!  First time we planted them.

oh I think so. Roots and leaves are different. Been planting them for many many years.

[LPS]

When we were kids my Dad planted kohlrabi.  It was pretty good.  We just sliced them and put some salt on it. 

[glenn57]

I used to do salt on them too, but not anymore. Maybe occasionally.

[glenn57]

picked my first green pepper from the garden last nite!!!!!!!! num num!!!!!

[Gunner55]

yea.................................so! 

[glenn57]

Took a gander around the garden yesterday and looks like I will need to pick dill today. Lots of flowers on the cukes and showing good signs of tomatoes. Time to add Epson salt to the mater plants.

Looking good in spite of this heat.

My weed crop is flourishing.  I have never seen this much in my pots.  We took out the garden a few years ago. 

[glenn57]

I got about 20 minutes of weeding yet then this round is done. Then water later.

[KEN W]

I am weeding almost every day. More seem to pop up every time it rains .My Kohlrabis are ready to eat. Peas are almost done. My early corn is showing silks.....20 days to corn on the cob. Strawberries are almost finished.

[glenn57]

Getting a few green and jalepono peppers hear and there.

Weeds are under control for the time being. Seems the garden is requiring water but I gotz a big azz kiddy pool full right now. Just watered everything from out of there, hardly looks like I took anything out. plenty for tomorrow, since it already Rang up on the water meter.

Our 🌽 is tasseled out, 2 ND row of radishes are almost ready. Pickle garden is all flowering. Beets are going great.... And (Rebs Favorite) we are picking green beans, first batch was much bigger
(we'll have to add some fresh 🌽 to this picking) 

[LPS]

We have lettuce up the gazoo!   Pretty easy even for a novice to raise.  I am going to cut it all tomorrow.  Clean it so just great lettuce packaged.  Freeze it in ziplocs.  Works great for green smoothies.  Had the first one this morning.  Banana, yogurt, milk or almond milk, whole handful of lettuce or anything fruit or veggie you like. We put in our Ninja individual portion glasses and turn it to a drink.  Pretty easy and darn fun.  We freeze the bananas when they get old too.  In portion sized ziplocs also.  Novices at it also buy great way to eat up stuff.  I love them.  They don't stick with ya long though.  Need a sandwich later.   

[KEN W]

The D*mn deer got my lettuce before I could stop them. And I live in town.

 

[glenn57]

I pulled my lettuce and spinach when I got home from up north. It started getting see pods and a bit to big for my liking. Tends to get bitter to me at that point.

[glenn57]

Cherry 'maters from the pot on the patio are luscious!  Cukes are coming along nicely in the one hill. Something chewed off another one in one of the hills that's been struggling. A bunny had an accident tonite so hopefully that helps. Luckily there are still 7 plants in the hill, 6 of them are green dragon burpless & are growing like mad. The munchers are slower for some reason. 

[Bobberineyes]

Been pickin peas like crazy,  maters , peppers and squash are doing good. I hope the zucchini turns around ( alotta rot) on some plants. Not sure whats going on with the beans, 8×7 trellis full of them but not one bean growing.     Have picked several cukes off Another trellis.

zookeenie.....................meh.......everyone and dere brudder gives them away!!!!!

[Dotch]

I'm envious youse guys have cukes already. Amazing how things jumped overnite after the rain tho. Those green dragon cuke plants about doubled in size. They'll need to as late planted as they are. "Maters also increased in height by ~4". Hoping this rain has primed the pump and we can get the pasture area worked up for next year's garden. Bought some extra radish seed the other day so we should be able to start on it in late July - early August.

Ya, not a lot you can do with zucchini, grilling is good. This zucchini patty recipe is the best way that I have found, very tasty.

Zucchini Patties

"These cheesy zucchini patties are an excellent way to use up that abundance of zucchini from the garden. Serve with a bit of tomato sauce or sour cream dabbed on top."
Ingredients
*       2 cups grated zucchini
*       2 eggs, beaten
*       1/4 cup chopped onion
*       1/2 cup instant potato flakes
 
* 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
* salt to taste
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
* In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, onion, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and salt. Stir well enough to distribute ingredients evenly.
* Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Form into patties, and fry until golden brown on both sides
