Yes, you read that date correctly...I'm a week late posting this garden update. I took the photos last week & harvest photos prior to that and would like to share them even if they are a bit overdue. I'm hoping to get this week's garden update posted tomorrow. I've been busy making jams & syrups and canning green beans and putting zucchini in the freezer. I'll make it quick and just post photos with captions...Enjoy
