Last of the radishes
It has been pretty hot lately and a lot of the cold frame crop is about to bolt.
A lot of these had already gotten woody.
Final harvest.

Are those 1990s strawberrys? I ask because I see Whitesnake has found a familiar size venue.

In a saute pan melt a little butter, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add lambs quarter leaves
Saute on medium heat until leaves are wilted. YUMMM
Great as a side dish or use as you would in any recipe that calls for spinach!To Live Is To Eat

Squash/Zucchini
A happy zucchini plant.
A not so happy zucchini plant.
From what I could tell, squash bugs have invaded this plant. They apparently got to the base of the plant. I went through all of the plants and harvested what I could.
We also harvested our first green beans!
Quite a few blossoms were still attached. These are going to be the appetizer later.
I sprayed this area thoroughly with liquid sevin.To Live Is To Eat
