Some fresh peas almost ready for harvest. Tomato plants have scanty flowers no fruits yet. I think snails ate all the lettuce seedlings.
The butternut pumkins have some small ones growing.

 
Harvest today 1 cup fresh peas.:)

I'm tantalizingly close to potatoes.  I'm really looking forward to the yellow Finns.  For my first dish, I'm planning to serve them with cooked greens and the pickled dandelion buds I made this spring.

I made up an herb pot with sage, chives and cilantro ... though I hear cilantro doesn't do well in pots, and my one was already kind of ratty when I got it from my mom's garden. Here's hoping ...

In my experience, cilantro does fine in pots if it gets enough water and the pot is deep enough (cilantro has a long central taproot, like a lot of members of the celery family).  It tends to bolt when it gets too dry/stressed, so make sure to soak the pot in a pan of water periodically so it can take up lots of moisture.

Also, depending on where you are, it might be a little too warm for it.  It prefers cool weather.

Thanks for the advice! I found a bunch of cilantro at the grocery store today, with the roots still on, so I put some of it in a glass of water as a backup. My pot is about 6" deep so I think it will do.

My strawberries (which were the only real produce I attempted this year) have had a fantastic crop. I'll be making a lot of jam this weekend.

I've also had a feverfew plant appear out of nowhere, apparently starting as a weed. I'm delighted because I love feverfew, and a plant that appeared from the wild and chose me is a special thing. :)

Awesome!

Uhh, I've got tomatoes, eggplant, cucumber, arugula, and squash. And then I ended up growing flowers (devotional garden) so I've got lavender and yarrow and sage and something else. I don't know off the top of my head (which is shameful cuz I'm out watering them all the time...it's so hot) and it's dark so I can't check. There were gonna be morning glories but either I did something wrong or the seeds were too old.

I kinda miss my old garden. There was amaranth, man. Amaranth and quinoa and Swiss chard. Oh well.
