Today I picked a bowl full of organic green and wax beans, a bowl of red potatoes, a few small heads of broccoli, and about 3 kohlrabi - all for dinner.
The cucumbers are starting to come in and so are my straight neck yellow squash and zucchini. I see some roma tomato plants, and all of my pepper plants producing too.
It's in the 90's again here, and thunderstorms are brewing again. I'm praying the winds are low, and the barns hold together. We do need the rain. The garden is a bit dry today.
We are still getting about 2 quarts of goat's milk a day, and will have more when the buckling is weaned. I am enjoying the raw milk, and especially not having to take a load of plastic milk jugs to the recycling center.

I'm thinking next year (as this is our second year of gardening) we'll plant more.
We haven't been successful with beans or corn. The Broccoli did well over the winter as did the Brussels Sprouts.
Hope you have good showers, low winds...and lots of milk!
Take care, Pat
We just got back from the 4th of July parade in town and it poured on us, very unusual for this time of year, it normally rains in the afternoon. Hope ya'll get some nice gentle showers! :)
Do you make yoghurt with the goat milk? I'm trying to use mainly local products but no-one around here has dairy cows. However my neighbour has lots of goats so I wanted to give yoghurt a try.
