Ive picked off 2 messes of squash so far this year.
Picking about a quart of blueberries every other day & a few blackberries. That'll be it for a while as didn't plant garden until two weeks ago

Its not to late if you want squash...plenty of time...last year I planted a second round of squash mid-summer and got plenty before fall.
Been eating salad greens for a couple months. Snow peas now and first cucumbers today.
Didn’t plant squash, the squash bugs in western Kentucky are just more trouble than I care for. I let the Amish fight them and buy my squash there.
But did finally dry up enough to plant a little sweet corn.

I may put some out but doubt it.

same here!@Mud Creek - I’d be very happy with that. They will make for some very tasteful salads of all types

Yea I'm just waiting to have enough for pickles! Year before last I did some with a couple ghost peppers in the jar and they were amazing on a burger. They are Pick a bushel cucumbers. We have been growing them the last 3 years for pickles and they're the best I've ever had.
Beautiful.
My corn got hammered this year after the storms. It was so bad I decided to start over. When it dried off I tilled and replanted. The second planting just didn't do nowhere near as good as the first, so now I'm torn between doing a third planting this week or just keeping what we have and most likely buying whatever else we need. I hate the thought of that because I enjoy working in the garden and having "our stuff" but corn isn't looking that good for us this year.

I usually have an awesome garden but decided this year to disc in some chichen house litter. I knew it wasn’t a good idea but i did it anyway . My peas,radishes,cukes are weak at best . The yellow squash is doing ok ,the okra is starting to overcome the rush of nitrogen . Now my sweet corn is diggin the over load of it . Putting out new ears everyday . Spraying for worms every 5 days .
The upside is next year we should be back on track
Oh well ,lesson learned again

I tilled all mine under late summer and had them coming out of my ears in the fall from the old ones I didn't pick.

Picked our first picking of green beans yesterday. Didn't take pics, but got four full Walmart bags. We got more than we will eat, will probably be giving some away. Wife picked squash as well. Will probably be picking corn tomorrow or Wednesday.

Fresh picked sweet corn.
And first picking of green beans ready to go in the freezer.

I dont think cucumbers and cantaloupe can cross pollinate but I could be wrong. Are they bigger cucumbers or smaller ones Ike I posted? I just wonder if they were smaller in size but left on the vine to grow but got too ripe?

Looking good. Can you tell me where to buy the basket you have? I could use some to those for picking figs.
