good load of dill. Hang to dry a couple weeks then enjoy all year. More growing. Potatoes are getting hit by some bugs.
Harvested all my lettuce. Now room for more plants. Not sure what. Might plant more turnips for fall harvest. Open to suggestions.

Love this time of year.

I’ve been referring to my garden as the dill forest this year - it’s just nuts! I didn’t have much of it last year but I guess I’ve created the perfect conditions for it everywhere outside of my raised beds. Ugh hope to get it under control but at least it smells good I guess

Also, definitely do turnips! I also do beets but I know not everyone likes them. I make a Polish soup called Botwinka with the small ones & the greens. Not sure what zone you’re in, but kohlrabi is another one that I do a second planting for Fall. All your produce looks great & hopefully you don’t have anymore bugs to deal with! 

I've let the caterpillars take over my dill.  We like the butterflies so we are anticipating that soon.

Pretty one. Started from seed and never tried this variety. Yellow ruffled. Say hollow on inside and good for stuffing.

canning up a quart of beets now. Mostly smal but happy with harvest. Have a pile of stringbeans too. Pickling them the same way but added peppercorns, herbs and some garage dried scotch bonnet hot peps. Hate to waste the harvest so canning it up. Have a bunch of cucumbers too. Fortunate.
