The harvest is finally beginning. We cut a row of water spinach, harvested some Tromboncino, and picked a hand full of the Elfin grape tomatoes. All of those were shared with our 2 daughters. Okra is starting, after today's rain we should pick the first batch tomorrow. Both Gretel & Matinik eggplant are reaching harvest size. The chard is ready for the first thinning, but we'll probably put that off until the weather cools down a little.

Green beans are producing like crazy. Sweet corn is about ready as are tomatoes and Zucchini. We have been enjoying cucumbers too. The pea crop was a bust. Only 2 meals before plants died.

yes, this is bean season for me too. i just picked some to steam later. warm enough out there to steam them on the plants.

Water spinach?
Ipomoea aquatica, an edible member of the morning glory family. It is grown as a pot herb in many parts of tropical Asia & the Pacific islands. A.k.a. kang kong, ong choy, and many other names. It is a "cut and come again" green, the young shoots & leaves are eaten. I grow mine from seed, but this vegetable is common in Oriental groceries here, and the stems can quickly be rooted & planted. It grows rapidly in warm weather, and the production during that period is very high.

I made zucchini lasagna.

Noodles;
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup mozzarella
1 baseball bat zucchini

Quarter and reseed zucchini. Grate it. By handfuls, squeeze the water out. Should yield around 2 1/2 cups, packed.
Mix in beaten egg and mozzarella.

Prepare 2 cookie sheets, cover with parchment paper. Spread zucchini mixture about 1/4” thick. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes, let cool 10 minutes. Cut into strips and follow your favorite lasagna recipe.

I diced up a yellow squash and onion and included that in the sauce. The only thing I didn’t raise was the mozzarella, seasoning and cottage cheese. I raised the beef hamburger, tomatoes for the sauce, onions, eggs, zucchini, yellow squash.
