The peppers got re-mulched today. Picked the first summer squash yesterday, along with the first two banana peppers. Quite a few more bananas should be ready to pick within the week. Garlic is showing signs of ripening, with the scapes starting to straighten up. Onions are far from ripe, but the red of their roots is starting to be visible. Not round and popping out of the ground, but just showing red at the base of the leaves. Raspberries are coming along nicely. I'm hoping to get a few of them before the birds do.
The zucchini finally sprouted. We have about ten plants, I think. And fourteen butternut plants. I'm starting to research summer squash recipes, having committed to at least try to find ways that I'm willing to eat it this summer. Ways that don't involve several cups of sugar and vegetable oil. I suspect I wouldn't even taste it in a stir fry with the curried marinade I use on chicken. There's already a second summer squash almost ready for picking and three or more others on their way.
