Summer Harvest

We have shared a garden with our next door neighbors for the past 3 summers in the grass (now dirt) strip that divides our two driveways...it's the perfect use of space and gives us some super yummy summer-time food. I am still wondering if we will be daring enough to try some winter crops this year as well.

Our first large crop of the summer includes:

• walla walla onion (a left-over from last year, funny being that none of the onions grew lat year-this one was supper tasty)
• lettuce (we just planted the 2nd crop)
• green beans
• zucchinis
• cucumbers-they are amazing and super easy to grow
• tomatoes, all varieties, probably ready to start picking next week
  
• carrots-they are only a couple inches long right now
• cilantro-it died, I did not cut it fast enough
  
• mint
• basil
• blueberries, these we just planted on the north side of the backyard so we'll see if they survive the 107 degree heat we have today! A Portland tie record
