It has been a slow summer in the vegetable garden. Except for a 2 week period of severe heat, it has been generally cool after a very cold spring. The tomatoes are only just getting going; some plants do not even have flowers. I still have no peppers, cucumbers or summer squash and the beans are just beginning to set.
The cool weather crops are naturally doing better than usual: I just harvested the last of the peas; the fava beans are still cropping; the cabbages, turnips and carrots are sweet. Last nigh we ate a medley of sauteed peas, tiny beans, carrots and rutabaga - yum!
