Green beans have been pretty productive. I'd recommend the "Top Crop" heirloom. They have given me two huge crops and some pretty nice seeds I'm saving for next year!
The "Sungold Cherry" is a amazingly productive plant with tasty little orange tomatoes. This one has done better than the other 3 varieties I've tried this year.
My pumpkins and zucchini have been murdered by Squash Vine Borers... icky little things. I think I salvaged the big pumpkin plant- but it only has one pumpkin on it! Otherwise I had one each of sugar pumpkin and round zucchini...
I did start a new herb garden out behind my kitchen. The chives, thyme, oregano, catnip and mint that I started in pots from seed seem to like their new home there.
I planted sage and rosemary in pots to bring in for the winter, both are looking happy as well.
Carrots and potatoes have, by far, been the easiest thing to grow. Although the carrots took a few tries to get germinated (kept starting too early- crazy spring heat waves then freezing temps killed a few rounds of planting) but once they took hold they grew like mad with no bugs bothering them. The potatoes (storebought Yukon Golds that sprouted in the compost) are all ready died back and as soon as things dry out I'll be knocking over the tub to harvest! I did dig in to see what was under there and found a few big round things that look like potatoes!!
So... hopefully things will turn around a bit and I'll have some new pics for you soon!
