July has come to an end, but it feels like the garden's bounty is just starting. There has been more okra than we know what to do with, and we have been experimenting with grilled okra, curried okra, varieties of gumbo, and freezing the rest for winter stew. In addition to lots of okra, the yellow squash, cucumbers, banana peppers, jalapenos and peperoncini have been going strong.The eggplants had a slow start, but there are now usually a few ready each week. Bell peppers are coming on, and the first blushing tomatoes were picked this week. Still waiting for melons...
On Monday, August 3, we will meet for a garden pot luck at Kathleen's. For the occasion, we'll pick the first BIG watermelon from the melon patch. It is getting huge!
