Last two nights we've had our first beans of the year - Xera and Jade (two really nice green bush beans, very productive, slender, delicious!) - for such fresh, early beans, we blanche them for 4 min, then just a bit of butter, salt, pepper and some fresh chives. Just incredible how good these first harvested veggies taste!
So, lettuce is done (100 degree days bolted them all), with chard, squash and basil, cukes - PK (thanks, Suze - nice variety) bearing, Diva just setting - now beans - in progress. There are a few small hot peppers that are certainly pickable....eggplant just budding, and perhaps a Mexico Midget or Sungold in two weeks or so at the most!
Still waiting for my first melons to set!
