I usually try to make a little space for some shishito peppers. I love them and they used to be really hard to find, up until Trader Joe's started carrying them last year. Sadly, this year my crop got overwhelmed by feral sunflowers that were just too gorgeous to remove. Choices!

Let us know what you've got going on in your yard this summer!

Tomatoes (even though I can't eat them raw!). The winner this year for production is 'Super Fantastic' (awful name). Flavor winner-so I'm told, is 'Black Cherry'. Prettiest tomato is 'Lucid Gem' gold and purple blushed pink! Zucchini, yellow crook-neck squash, and walking-stick collards. My green beans were a washout this year. Tagetes lucida (Four seasons tarragon) when I make chicken salad. I got peaches this year! Squirrels didn't get them all-'Eva's Pride' and 'Mid-Pride' mmmm.
