I've got collards & kale coming out my ears.
Tomatoes & peppers on their way.

Got the blackberries caged up & the tunnel back up.

I chopped up my scraps today, added them back to the planters, and mixed everything in. Great way to supercharge raised beds. Feeding the soul is important everywhere, but raised beds will get depleted if you don't feed your soil. In a few days the worm activity will be nuts.

I reset my lettuce planters today, sowed cilantro and carrot seeds, and harvested some tobasco peppers. Probably my last harvest of tobascos because they are bullshit. Takes a grip of them to make sauce and they aren't good for anything else that ive found.

My passion fruit vine is small so 2 flowers blooming on the same day (they only bloom for 1 day) is a rarity. I manually polinated both so those will be 2 more fruits.

This is my first Rio red grapefruit off my tree and it tasted really good. The tree is really pathetic looking and should have been tossed, but I can't bring myself to doing it. The tree has 2 more grapefruits on it.

There are my freedom beds i planted out on July 4th. I've got black seeded Simpson, prizehead, lolla rosso, ruby red, and tango lettuce (tallest to shortest planted north to south), straight 8 and white wonder cucumbers growing up the tomato twists, and as soon as the vines get to size I will have honey rock melons growing over the sides.

This is my first time harvesting lettuce seeds. Half of the top of the plant had the dandelion looking flowers so I covered it with a plastic shopping bag, closed the bottom with my hand and shook it. I'm guessing the rest will flower in less than a week and then I'll have a good amount of seeds.
