Peas & squash are in!
First batch of peas picked on Saturday.

Not sure we'll get to cook these this year. The kids are eating them like candy! Definitely going to have to plant more of these next year. I cannot believe how different (better) they taste then store-bought or frozen peas! They are absolutely delicious!!!

Here's our first yellow crookneck summer squash we picked yesterday. I sauteed it this morning for a snack. Salt, pepper, and a splash of vinegar. Yummm!

Squash bug update:
no eggs... no nymphs... on ANYTHING... even our trap crop.
*knock on wood*
I have a feeling we are going to have a LOT of squash on our hands this summer.
(Anyone who lives nearby, come and get some!) :-)
BTW,
What is your favorite way to prepare summer squash?
(I really only know how to saute it.)
And does it freeze ok?
I'll have to post some pics of the garden. It is looking so good. Everything's blooming and growing so well. Tomatoes are getting nice and big~ some of them should be turning red soon. Mint is growing like crazy. Marigolds and nasturtiums are in full bloom. Pumpkin plants are huge. My calendula will be blooming real soon. Oh, it's all so beautiful. I love gardening!!!
