August Garden

Beans (17.5 quarts) are in the freezer.  It took us one week of pulling and shelling.  I weeded the okra rows today getting ready to pick them, and found volunteer tomatillos and a gourd.  I also uncovered some real nice butternuts from under the Johnson grass.  We planted them in June, but had forgotten where.  The corn has cobs with silk!!!

Tomatoes and Peppers are coming in.  We planted a small early tomato, Stupice, which made good pico de gallo!!!  A larger one we tried, Mortgage Lifter, are turning red now.  The Celebrity canning tomato are looking good.  We also cut some early pumpkins which we grew from last years jack o lanterns.
