Havesting Onions - with help from the horses. Never had to fertilize.
Baby Sun squash - the perfect time to harvest.
Grew the flowers for the tables too.
Was a late year in Midwest - tomatoes to the right are just starting to get bigger. Front is German butter potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Then lettuces, beets (3 colors). Carrots (3 colors) then parsnips. Bush beans, golden beans and haricot vert are in the middle horizontal.
To many squash plants they just kept coming! Billard ball variety were cool and the butternut yikes so many. They all got powdery mildew which was a pain in the lower back but I got it under control thanks to Neem. Also had cantaloupe in this bed.
