May: Cilantro, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Sugar Snap Peas, Kale, Arugula and Lettuce
June: Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Sugar Snap Peas, Kale, Lettuce and Black Raspberries
July: Green Beans, Black Raspberries, Kale, and Lettuce (so far, lots more to come)

Sugar Snap Peas

The sugar snap peas are starting to dry back for seed saving. In a few weeks we will have a lot of seeds for next season. This is about our 12th season, saving sugar snap pea seeds.

Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers and Basil

The tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and basil are all doing well.

Carrots

The carrots are doing really well, they should be ready to harvest in a few weeks.
