The temperatures have dropped and we are finally getting some rain! Almost feels like fall around here! The cooler temperatures and added moisture woke up our Shiitake logs. We had a nice Shiitake bloom. We also harvested our first watermelon of the season!
Our fall crop of green beans has really started to produce! The peppers and okra are still doing great. We are finally due for a rain and a cool down.
The garden is still producing pretty well for this time of year. It hasn’t rained in over a month and we are experiencing record high temperatures. We are still harvesting peppers and okra and we picked our first harvest of butter beans of the season!

This is an update of the peas we planted about two weeks ago. We had a lot of questions about weeds and weed seeds in our garden. We mulch using hay and grass clippings as well as other materials and don’t have problems with weeds. We constantly add mulch and we haven’t tilled since 2012.
Just a description of what we harvested in the garden today!
This harvest video shows a week’s worth of green beans and cucumbers. The last of the Candy Onions we harvested from the raised bed have dried and are ready for a weigh in. The rest of the harvest table is from July 3rd. The peppers are starting to show out!
We harvested our Stowell’s Evergreen sweet corn today!
