Peppers are doing great, made a few jars of picked Peppers and a jar of beets on the weekend. Harvested 3 pounds of peas in June and other pound in July after it stopped producing. Some carrots are done going to be doing a lamb stew this week with them in there. Pulled the peas this weekend and replaced it with more carrots and beets. Pulled the kale that seeded for me will plant that soon. Garlic is almost done Pulled a few bulbs that were ahead. Onion was the first time and ended up with a bunch of golf ball size ones still learning. First round of lettuce is bolting got more to put in. Will replace the garlic with more carrots. More beets to go in and turnips . Picked the first beans this morning only a couple but it's the beginning of a daily pick. . Been super busy this season and the weeds were bad was pulling weeds for about 5 hours over the weekend. biult a deck around the pool and in the middle of shed project. Next project is a smoke house but I'll post a thread about that before the biuld.
Happy growing.
On the plus side I have only used around 40 to 60 gallons of water the entire season. 2 weeks ago after the heat wave it looked like the Peppers were over watered yet I didn't water for 2 weeks. And it's still raining so no need the water the seeds today.

Been testing out piling the beds on the ground the past few years. . Every bed is 6 inches above the paths. Started raking the beds 8 inches high it gives me a good 14 in of tilled earth to start. seems like another plus in this rainy season. The paths have been flooded a few times but still well below the ground level of the actual plants. When it' dry I need alot of extra water tho .

I did a raised bed at the new place since the soil is hard clay and doesn't drain at all. Seems to be doing really well with all this rain.
