We’re heading full speed into harvest. These are the types of posts that bore me to write. There’s really nothing new happening, just more and more stuff picked from the garden, and it’s almost always the same every week. Of course, it’s not boring to actually pick it and eat it, but I won’t always have a new exciting thing to talk about.

So what’s new this week?

Our neighbor brought back a few raspberry and blackberry starts from his parents’ house in Alpine, UT. They are not the same variety of blackberries that we had before, so I’m excited to see how they turn out (if they live). The blackberries are looking pretty good, but the raspberries are having a harder time so far.

We’ve started picking tons of zucchini. I’m sure we picked at least 10 last week, and it looks like we’ll have even more this week. The crookneck yellow squash is starting to come on, so it won’t be just a game of peppers and zucchini anymore.

Pumpkins are also starting to pop up under the leaves of the squash plants, and that’s always fun.
