Last year the yield was 64 pounds in the month of August. The year it was 95 pounds of produce for the month, including 20 pounds yesterday, though looking at last year’s pics – it may be that this year’s plants are closer to “done”. Yesterday’s harvest:
A closeup of the basil. It fills the box, but it’s only 3/4 of a pound — though that’s around $50 retail:
One of the two midweek harvests:
Gypsy Peppers. The white powder is diatomaceous earth. It seems to be helping with the earwigs:
King of the North peppers:
The jalapenos are starting to darken:
The Thai Hot peppers:
The cucumbers are looking tired:
Some tomato pics, starting with the Roma. For whatever reason, this year’s Roma is much shorter than last year’s:
Tigerella (mostly):

The zucchini you gave us was stupendous. I cut the thick (seeded) portion into inch-thick planks, gave them some oil and salt, grilled them, then put some Parmesan and herbs on top for a great side dish. The thin portion I’ve saved for tonight: I’ll give it a panko-crust and fry them in shallow oil. I like this variety better than the standard, uniform thickness zucchini.

We’ve been doing a panko-crusted baked zucchini that’s tasty. I have a “garden bounty” (catch-all) post coming up at some point that’s going to include that and other good stuff.

I like flour coated fried zucchini like my mom used to make or on cooking it the gas grill until it gets just a little char.
