I was a bit late in planting some of the summer vegetables, but they've flourished in the initially cool late spring and now hot early summer temperatures.
Remarkably, I've harvested peppers and tomatilllos, usually a no-show until late summer.
There are LOTS of tomatoes developing and the first ones close to harvesting. Woo-hoo! And the various vining squashes are looking good, too -- no sign of squash vine borer moths or larvae (maybe they were confused by the strange winter and spring weather and somehow my plants will escape???)
This year, I do have mostly C. moschata squash varieties (trombocino & tatume) as well as butternut, and delicata), which are resistant to the borers, anyway, so maybe we'll have some squash this year!
Supposedly most winter squash like butternut and delicate are tasty enough as immature squash. We'll see. Apparently almost all squash aside from ornamental gourds (which are bitter) are at least decent-tasting, based on my limited Google search.
