Peas and Potatoes

Today I pulled out the snap peas.  We've had so much hot weather, with more to come in the next few days, that they looked as if they were finished. 

After a visit to Randy's this past weekend, and having some of his early potatoes for supper, I thought I'd fish around in my potato bed and see if I could find anything. David and I easily found five very large Yukon Golds.  I can't wait for the real harvest in a few months. 

There are some summer squash coming soon, and the tomatoes have yet to ripen.  The bush beans have flowers, as do the cucumbers.  I've picked a couple of peppers, one bell and one Gypsy.

Fruit Report

We've picked the first blueberries (Earliblue) and had a couple of pickings of strawberries.

The raspberries and Beckyberries are a little further behind, but the Beckyberries are starting to show some color.

Oh, and the nectarine tree still has quite a few small fruit.  Some are damaged by leaf curl, so they'll probably fall off.  But some still look good.
