Some fresh herbs to flavor things - oregano, tarragon, parsley, thyme- is it for now. Lettuces are getting close, though. Maybe next week.

7 Fireball radishes. These are for hubbyโฆhe likes them with a kick.
I could have harvested more asparagus, but since I picked yesterday, Iโll wait until tomorrow. Fridge has enough for two meals.
*****
another trip to the garden and I found a German Giant radish that was of good size. Neighbor to the north shared some last year and hubby liked them. Ordered two pkgs. Need to plant another short row.

Mr. Breezy & I had a few strawberries today too!! I have two terracotta clay rectangular planters that I planted with "Berries Galore - Rose" strawberry plants in 2012. Still going strong & produce dozens of sweet little berries for us from May till frost. And have lovely deep rose flowers + red Fall foliage, so highly ornamental as well.

today I harvest some bolting red lettuce leaves I think will be ok, and some carrots.
tyfon greens, and pulled a few early garlic heads. they are looking good! Think I will pull the lot before the next rain, better smaller and dryer than larger and saturated.

Harvested my first couple of broccoli florets day before yesterday (6/17), & today I noticed that the wild blackberries have started ripening.

Yesterday was my first ripe grape tomato, as well as my first ripe "Fignomenal" fig. A couple more grape tomatoes today.

We picked about 20 pounds of bing cherries. It's the best harvest we have ever had. Banner year. Still a lot out there, needing a bit more time to ripen. We are bagging up and giving to neighbors- we could never eat all of them before they go bad. I've got a few in the freezer (some sliced, some with pits) to see how they do. I've frozen sour cherries before but not sweet cherries.

desertwoman, I am so jealous. The almost entire cherry harvest in the Okanagan was wiped out. The ones that survived are selling for $12 a pound. I have been buying the frozen sweet cherries from Costco, so you will probably have no problem freezing yours. We are OD'ing on Chinese cabbage and Bok Choi. Swiss Chard will be ready soon and some cherry tomatoes are in the green stage.

When cherries are in season, I get out my hand-held cherry pitter and dehydrate or freeze the ones I get on sale.
