In the midst of veggies

Our garden is fairly good this year. I didn't get quite as ambitious as last year, but I have three tomatoes (and a volunteer near the fence!) lots of green beans, a few carrots, some beets and the peas were great in the late spring. There are also cukes and zukes, but the zukes aren't doing well, some sort of stem rot, and the cukes aren't out yet--blossoms but no fruit yet.
The beans were supposed to be half-runners, but they've damn near taken over the place. I'm glad I left the pea fence up.
I had one volunteer kale plant left from last year. In about two days some cabbage worms found it, called their friends and family, and stripped it bare.
That said, our CSA has been great this year! Already we have corn (early!), potatoes, melons, beans, cucumbers out the yahoo (I have pickles brining as I type), and even a couple of eggplants. We've already been and gone with turnips and beets and the greens. Yum! Can't wait to see what we have next week.
