I guess our heat wave is affecting my squash - it's not doing anything close to what we got last year. I've put up 7 quarts of pickle chips and I've got a 3-gallon crock working on slow-brine pickles, canned the first bean harvest a couple of weeks ago (7 pints), and I've got another 7 pints worth to process tomorrow. Our plum tomatoes are bearing now, too, and we have to figure out a sauce recipe that we like because I have a giant basket of tomatoes to can, too!

The peppers are really happy with the heat, and we've just picked the first couple of bells and cubaneros.

I think some of the carrots are ready to pick as well.

Our eggplant grows really slowly. Don't know why.
