My red Lasota potatoes finished weeks ago, and are stored in a bin of peat moss in the house, as are the onions. I have okra in the spot where the Irish potatoes were, a couple of more weeks and they'll probably start blooming. There is a lovely hedge of sweet potatoes coming up in the keyhole garden, those will be ready probably late August.

Tomatoes are standing there doing nothing, it doesn't cool enough at night for pollination and hand pollination hasn't worked. Melons are being picked now, another half-doze in various sizes on the vine. Herbs look good, and I have some small chard coming up in the keyhole garden.

Eggplant like this heat and they're setting fruit now. Asparagus is in for the first year and the shoots are growing, but I need to pay more attention and keep them happy in order to get any next year.
