within two days, i made two harvests. in total, i harvested 3/4 of a handful of sugar snap peas (the last bunch from the plants i planted during the summer), 3/4 of a handful of sweet 100 tomatoes, 14 zucchini, 7 cucumbers, and 15 jalapenos. Most of this produce will be/have been given away since my husband and i can't get to it all. just one cucumber lasts us for a whole week!

while cutting down the sugar snap pea plants, i also went ahead and trimmed the zucchini forest as well. too much leaves means not enough air circulation around the plants, which can lead to plant diseases and mildew problems.

oh, do you remember that i started planting some cold-weather crop plants? (only because i read that they can also take some heat). well i have seen some sprouts! all of them are actually sprouting! i will have to take some pictures of them this weekend.

here is the first harvest, on thursday.
