My garden is going awesome. Third year gardening, first time managing a pretty sizeable garden myself. I'm currently eating probably 50-60% of my food from the garden. Right now I'm harvesting eggplant, tomatos, beans, carrots, beets, kale, kohlrabi, basil, oregano, dill, cucumber, a variety of peppers, and a preposterous amount of zucchini. The zuchs are finally starting to chill out but I've got like 7 huge zucchinis taking up all my kitchen space and I eat like 3 a week. I've got a bunch of different types of squash coming in. I'm just finishing eating the last of my summer peas. I need to harvest my potatoes, might do that this weekend. The corn will be ready soon but so far I've been real bad at getting the timing right for corn.

My cauliflower is not looking so hot. Dunno if my climate is good for it or if I just haven't been giving it enough attention. Aphids are starting to make their prescence known on my kale, but I find especially with dyno-kale that they don't really detract too much from the food value, just takes some time to wash them off.

I need to do some work putting down straw mulch around plants and reinforcing the bark mulch pathways I've started putting in. Long term I would like to replace or at least supplement the overhead sprinkler irrigation with a drip or even micro-sprinkler system.

I never pruned my tomatoes and so they are kind of a big mess. Getting lots of fruit from them now and they are so good, I didn't used to like tomatoes but I'm just eating these bitches salad style. Lots of damage from quail and whatnot on the tomatoes but not to an extent that's really bugging me since I'm not selling the things.

Peppers seem to be taking forever but are finally starting to turn colour. Got lots of green bell peppers, lots of what I think are hungarian wax peppers that are just starting to finally turn orange and get flavourful. Got some habaneros finally coming in, and some kind of skinny chillis. I've also got some purple ones that I can't at all tell when to properly pick. A few that I've tried have seen premature.

Got sunflowers all over the place, mostly self-seeded. Garden is also full of self-seeding calendula and dill, which have been filled with pollinators of various types including my own bees.

I really like my garden. Inherited it from my grandmother in law, but she would be really horrified to see how many "weeds" I allow to persist.
