My first batch of swiss chard, I cut and dried in my dehydrator. When done, I had three big ziplock bags of it ready to be crushed and mixed into soups, stews and casseroles this winter. I have been cutting lettuce and mixed greens and giving away and even selling a few bags since I was completely overrun.
I am dreaming of another year or so down the road when I have a green house and can grow cucumbers and zucchini! A neighbour brought me over a couple of eating cucumbers that we inhaled. She also gave us an icecream bucket of pickling cucumbers. I made sliced dills with those!

| Peppers! |
 |
| Lots of little tomatoes that I hope will start to ripen soon. |

| Beets in the back and second run of swiss chard in the front. |
 |
| Carrots are growing and the kids are stealing them whenever they are playing. |
 |
| Peas as far as the eye can see! |
 |
| My beans are going to be ready in another week or so. |
 |
| I have already picked about 4lbs of potatoes from my garden. |
 |
| More tomatoes! |
 |
| The world's smallest broccoli! |
 |
| Cabbage fail! |

| Sliced dill pickles now stashed for a few months until they are ready. |

Ah Chard! Its the surname of a gal I dated in my teenagers and an alternate name for the last community I taught in. Granted the place was a complete dump but the gal was cute. Anyway, yes, it's late and this comment has no real point......lol
