Good news on the zucchini and tomato plants, not so much for the peas.

The zucchini plants have been teasing me with some promising buds, but it's only in the last couple days, they've decided to go into full production mode. We've had some short, intense rain storms and the temps have been steady in the 80-85 F (25-30 C) range. Evidently, that's a good recipe for them as there are now three zukes, total, off to a good start. Yay!

The tomato plant has been thriving and stepping up production, too. How many tomatoes do you see?

Oh, and you can see the pepper plant in the background. It's still working on it's latest pepper and thinking about another. I'll keep you posted on progress as it happens.

My pole beans are now a solid wall of green. I've already harvested a few early beans and am waiting on a few more to make at least a serving. The blossoms are predicting a good sized harvest for the season, especially with the unexpected re-growth at the bottom of the plants. I'm very impressed with these and will definitely use this variety again!

My poor sad peas are, I think, beyond redemption and it's probably my fault. I think I overdosed them on nitrogen when I added the fertilizer mix a while back. I'm thinking about starting over and hoping for a mild autumn to perhaps have a better outcome. Soil amendment will be the first order of business if I do.

The cabbages are hanging in there. I think the bug damage threat is past and now I just have to hope they don't bolt.

The brussels sprouts are growing slowly and steadily, which is perfect. The separation between the leaves where they join the stalk is becoming more noticeable. The bugs seem to be under control here, too, knock wood. I'm still checking for new damage. So far, so good.

And, in case you were wondering what happened to that first tomato I picked...

well, hubby decided plain was best! He had it with a little salt and a dab of mayo (hadn't hit the plate yet), paired with a little chicken breast. He was very pleased with the flavor, amount of juiciness, and minimal seeds.

I don't eat 'em, but it's nice to know I can still grow a decent one!
