     tomatoes starting to get red enough to pick some.  for   
   the first pick we had a five gallon bucket and i turned   
   most of them into tomato juice.  we did eat a half dozen   
   tomatoes.  cherry tomatoes we've picked a few quarts and   
   those we didn't eat right away went into the juice jars.   
      
     cucumbers still coming in more than we can really use   
   but we give them away.  the really big ones that cannot   
   be used we put under the lilac tree for the worms to   
   recycle.   
      
     onions can be picked when needed for the next few weeks   
   and then after that i'll have to get them cured for   
   storage if we don't plan on eating them soon enough.  in   
   normal years we can eat them up fairly quickly as we do   
   eat a lot of onions.   
      
     i can pick fresh beans every day but it has been a   
   crazy few weeks so i'm not getting out each day to pick.   
   it isn't a major problem either way as we do like the   
   dry beans too.   
      
     squash and melons doing ok.  pictures would be nice   
   if i can get out there to do it.   
      
     i've had to do more mowing here the past few months and   
   it reminds me of how much i'd rather be gardening instead.   
      
     as we get things harvested and processed i'm going to be   
   able to gradually reclaim a garden that has been taken over   
   by weeds the past few years (due to me getting behind   
   because of injuries and also trying to get big projects   
   done).  the other day i was able to finally get a half hour   
   project done in that area which makes it look a bit neater.   
   sometimes you just have to keep chipping away...  :)   
      
     what are you up to?  how is the harvest going?
