| squash glut with a few peppers |
Time for my favorite time of the week, Harvest Monday! A great blog hop sponsored by
Daphne's Dandelions, cruise on over and visit with gardeners from around the world.
My apologies to the other Harvest Monday participants last week. Usually I am able to go around, read and comment on every post, but last week I was having internet connection problems and didn't make it until Thurs. I did read all the wonderful posts and drooled over all of your beautiful produce, I just did not have time to comment. Hopefully this will be a better week!
Last week saw a huge amount of squash, a few sweet and chili peppers.

| yellow wax beans |
My first picking of yellow wax beans, about a pound.
 |
| Kentucky Wonder & Yellow Wax beans |
Then a bit more than a pound of mixed beans, Kentucky Wonder pole and Yellow Wax bush. Yes I needed a ladder to get some of the KW!
 |
| all blue potatoes |
Some of the All Blue potatoes died in the heat so I dug them up. A pathetic showing of tiny potatoes. It is just too hot for 100 day potatoes as a spring planted crop. Next year I will save them to plant in June, hopefully they will do better.

| eggplant # 9 |
Eggplant #9 is a bigger, later plant than the others have been, with slightly larger fruit. For size reference, that's a salad plate, not a dinner plate.

| tromboncinno |
I have several large Tromboncinno squash I am letting mature for use as winter squash. This one is barely getting going and is already 32 inches long. The one next to it (not pictured) is 36".

| mobile coop |
And the new mobile coop is almost finished. The nest boxes are done and half the roof is on. I need to make a plywood shutter for the open section on this end, the other end and a strip above the nest boxes. But it will be pretty usable just as soon as I get the roof on!
