Wow! What a haul! I am only physically able to harvest a little at a time. Today I harvested some Swiss chard, 5 beets, kale, the last of the pea pods and thyme. My calendula has also self sown and wants to take over my garden beds. My garden is doing better this year than in years past. The green beans are starting to grow beans and my zucchini only has male flowers at this time. I am also Zone 6b and live in Michigan. Take your time with your harvesting. I’m sure it will be there tomorrow. Take care and have a blessed day.

Love the video! Thanks for sharing. I'm in Nova Scotia and have harvested beets, spinach, lettuce, carrots, chives and oregano so far. We have tomatoes and cucumbers coming along nicely. The squash (Blue Hubbard, Georgia Candy Roaster, Acorn and Pie Pumpkin)are growing well despite the squash beetles and squash bugs, which I am vigilant at checking for. Cabbage looking the best we have ever grown. Corn skipped but what came up is looking good. Green beans, yellow beans and pole beans (Scarlett Runner and Kentucky Wonder) all doing great. Our garden is my happy place and I thoroughly enjoy seeing yours as well!

A good way to preserve your large zucchini is to cut out the seeds, shred, freeze dry and powder it. I use it in muffins in place of some of the flour. I put it in meatloaf instead of bread crumbs and I also put it in spaghetti sauce to thicken it. Hiding veggies in other dishes.

What a beautiful harvest Kelsey! It has been very hot here in Washington. Today is another 96’ and then it drops into the 80’s tomorrow. It is also muggy here but not like back east. We’ve also been harvesting berries and peas. Last week I harvested my first garlic. It won’t be long and onions and potatoes will be ready too. Today I will be harvesting some dandelion hoping to use for tea. I’ve never done that before but giving it a try. I also have some wild Chamomile which I am also going to attempt to harvest the flowers from. Your celery and herbs are amazing and it will be fun to see what you do with them. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless you friend! ☀️

I live in the Bahamas and I have found that if you just use ash from any burnt weeds, bush, cardboard etc it eliminates cabbage worm, aphids and squash bugs. We use to pick bugs for hours before and tried bt, neem, DE and some dawn but the ash has worked the best. We didn’t need to pick bugs after that. Trying to keep ash on my watermelons, cantaloupe, squash and cucumber plants now. It also does not harm or deter bees.
