Squash onions and potatoes with dinner and I just finished a bowl of blackberries!
I so love cilantro! One of my favourite herbs, especially with guacamole and salsas. Always so torn about growing it though because the plant lasts for less than 2 weeks fully grown. One Micro Tom has been eaten, was rated 7/10. I'm envious of your jalapeños, I didn't grow any this year for fear of heat contamination.That looks wonderful @heirloomgal . We have harvested some basil.
DW made salsa sauce today. Cherry tomatoes and jalapenos were frozen from 2020. Cilantro and green onions were fresh. She toasts them in the toaster oven and then pulverizes it to make the sauce. Nice to have to add some interest to a bok choy stir-fry which we have been able to make, it seems like forever!
I had one cherry tomato from the backyard plants. DW brought it in to me a couple of days ago and it ripened alongside the bananas. (Where is @SprigOfTheLivingDead with his indoor banana reports ?)
Amaranth. That adds another summertime green along with the chard. The transplanting of chard from one garden to the other might still work. The plants are severely stressed from the heat. Those are just a trial - there is plenty of sown chard in the distant garden.

I had German Giant radishes planted same time as some French Breakfast and Giants grew and I ate them, but the others I ended up pulling. Maybe I did not wait long enough.Harvested some radishes that I PLANTED IN MARCH AND TOOK F O R E V E R to come up!!!
French Breakfast, btw.
Also, we eat 2-3 stuffed pepper meals/month, made with tomatoes that I have canned.
DH does the labeling, bc once I can I don't have the patience to write on the lids neatly with a Sharpie.
With Cilantro (and many other herbs) if I cut it almost to the ground before it blooms it will come back. Just leave enough of the stalk so it has a couple of buds to grow back. I haven't grown it down here but In Arkansas I could keep it going for a couple of months. Eventually the heat would get it.I so love cilantro!

I *deep sigh* decided to give up the Bananas and gifted them all to some localsThat looks wonderful @heirloomgal . We have harvested some basil.
