Picked these Saturday afternoon when I returned from vacation, and about the same amount on Sunday. I'm very happy with the gardens production so far, no pests showed up until this morning when I found my first pickle worm. Going to spray Bt shortly.
Bush squash include early prolific straightneck, a couple of hybrid zucchini, Desi, butter bush, table King, Costata romanesco. No sign of SVB, but there is one in one of the spaghetti squash. Will do some Bt spraying tomorrow. Picked about a gallon of beans yesterday.

Tomatoes, no diseases evident, getting tomatoes, but main harvest is a couple weeks out. This design would work much better if the panels were 18" apart instead of 2'. But, that would make it difficult to plant.
Second row of squash is Tromboncino, spaghetti and Tatume. Made 2 Tromboncino casseroles last night and lots of young ones on the vine. It's DM resistant and delicious, but I will have to battle pickle worms.
First row in the garden is all butternuts, only 1 pitiful fruit, but the vines all look healthy, no sign of Downey mildew. I guess that's what happens when you plant late. Now I'll definitely have to battle pickle worms,
Just got back from vacation and found all this, neighbor picked squash and cukes on Wednesday, but obviously missed a few. Plenty of green beans, I'll get those in the morning. Cajun Jewel Okra is very productive and tender at 6". Still no squash vine borers. Probably dig potatoes next week...
Had a Tatume squash casserole last night, delicious! I picked these tomatoes green last Friday and we are eating them now. The melon is from a local farm stand and is a canary, delicious, has a pear like textur and taste, I saved the seeds for planting when I get home.

Last couple of days I've been gathering produce from the garden to take take to the beach. 20+ lbs. of potatoes, onions, garlic, Tatume and Desi squash, tomatoes, peppers, cukes, and also pulled two spaghetti squash for curing here. Expecting a lot of stuff when I get back, even though the...
Mine produces well, and is getting better every year, and is naturally grown, but nothing like Majors!
First tomatoes on the right, if I don't pick them when they start to turn, varmits get them! And I love to rob new potatoes!
Squash in background are Tatume from Mexico.
Nothing like living...
@Ridgerunner, just went down to the garden, checking the bush summer squash, no sign of SVB, it's almost unbeleivable! We pulled our yellow squash at work today because of SVB's so I know it's time for them. Only thing different for me is coffee grounds??? Don't get me wrong, I'm good with it...
