Very hot and humid today. At least there were a few high clouds later in the afternoon when I stopped to pick a few veggies.
Picked 2 nice cukes, a serving of beans, a large cup of orange sungolds and Chadwich cherries, and a large Better Boy. Also, the drenching watering I gave the zucchinis yesterday has resulted in a large zucchini ready to be picked today.
There are also more zucchinis that have set fruit on the other 2 plants.
Here is what the harvest looked like today. I also notice that there will be another nice wave of eggplants to be harvested in just a few days. I watered those in as well yesterday.
I think once the summertime thunderstorms begin, there will be another wave of veggies to harvest and it will extend the growing season perhaps.
With today's mini-harvest it brings the new totals to:
Cucumbers: 142
Tomatoes: 85
Zucchinis: 43
Eggplants: 26, with dozens more awaiting harvest.

THE HAPPY FROG GARDEN PATCH is dedicated to the fun of growing an abundance of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Located at the Common Ground Community Garden in Safety Harbor, FL, the garden was started in April 2010 by Dr. Shawn Hollander, an optometrist, and owner of Safety Harbor Optical. Lending a tremendous helping hand is garden assistant Sandy Kracov, whose help has enabled the expansion of the garden to almost double its original size. The raised bed garden now measures 36' x 10'.
