Current daily harvest status: for the last week or so, I've been bringing in 2-4 squash and 4-6 cucumbers pretty much every day, a zucchini roughly every other day, a bunch of beans every 3-4 days, and sporadic cherry tomatoes. Whenever we want green onions, we harvest those as well. Other than avocados and bulb onions, I haven't eaten a store-bought vegetable in over 2 weeks. My wife has *11* jars of pickles brining in the fridge and four squash casseroles queued up in the freezer. I sent a text out to six neighbors earlier today saying that they can stop by any time to get cukes. Same text about squash will probably be going out by the weekend. It looks like the cherry tomatoes are about to go gangbusters in the next week-ish, and the big ones maybe a week after that. My wife is reading up on tomato canning. Yeah, things are going well. (And I *MAY* have run the groundhog off. We'll see.)
