Cucumbers, Swiss Chard and tomatoes.
I had harvested really thoroughly the night before I left and took four cucumbers up to Maine where they went into a salad.
The cucumber is producing fruit like crazy. Those six cucumbers weigh in at 4 pounds. When I came to harvest this morning, the cucumber cage was toppled over and I had to stake it to fortify. Same happened to my Brandywine cage. Looking forward to the next few weeks of fresh garden produce.
The potatoes are getting ready to be harvested, and the pole beans (that I planted late) are flowering. The bush beans are close to being done, the cucumber is still producing heavily and my three tomato plants are heavy with (for the most part still green) tomatoes. The leeks are looking great and the kale is coming up. The golden beets I sowed sadly did not germinate as did the last carrot crop.
The pinkish-white dahlias are the only ones flowering so far – I have two of those. The two red ones are taking their time.
I need to weed and clean the plot and will sow fall greens in the next couple of weeks.
Thursday: Swiss Chard, cucumber, tomato, green beans, basil, flowers. I will make another pesto potato salad for another party on Saturday. Also on the menu, Caprese salad and a Swiss Chard omelette for breakfast.
Tuesday: cucumbers, green beans, tomato, Swiss Chard. Dinner tonight: Fettuccine with Swiss Chard (from today’s and Friday’s harvest), mushrooms, garlic, feta and pine nuts.

Friday: First heirloom tomato, cucumbers, Swiss Chard, a handful of green beans and basil
The first heirlooms from the garden are finally here!
So many cucumbers this year! About two a day. From three plants bunched into one single seed pot. I am not even sure what the variety is, I think I might have panic-bought them at Whole Foods after my direct-sowing experiment failed. This picture shows about 3 pounds of cukes.
I chopped those cucumbers up and turned them into this tasty 
I cleaned the cured garlic today and made a small braid with the softnecks and hung it in our pantry. The hardnecks were trimmed and stored in an earthenware crock in the pantry.
Sunday: Kale and green beans. Dinner included 
Friday: carrot, beans, basil. Dinner tonight included a large Greek salad (I used up all home-grown lettuce and the cucumber harvested yesterday).

Wednesday: more green beans that together with the harvest from previous days were turned into this 
Monday: Swiss Chard, lettuce, green beans, mint and the first cherry tomatoes. On the menu: Swiss Chard, mushroom and sun-dried tomato frittata, and a Greek salad with feta, parsley (from my back porch) and mint.
