Eggplant is producing now. And I picked a 2 pound 1 oz Brandywine this morning, a monster. Totals:
Green beans 0.88 lb; Eggplant 2.94 lb; Okra 0.31 lb; Yellow onion 4.44 lbHot pepper 0.44 lb; Sweet pepper 0.50 lb; Tomato 3.75 lb
Recently I added a tab with the totals for the year so far. Nearly a hundred pounds now, and the radishes were never included in the tally. In a day or two I’ll post a garden update. It has changed a lot in the last few weeks.

Very nice onions. I wasn't able to get them to bulb up for me for the last two years, so I didn't plant them this year. We use a lot of onions, so it's off to the store we go when we need them.
So sad about the onions. Many years I have issues with onions growing big enough, but this year they are pretty decent. I can only hope it is a trend. Gardeners can be such optimists.
It is always hard to tell from photos, but the majority of those onions look reasonable sized to me?! I am having a less then stellar onion year this year myself. Luckily I have one small patch that I planted really late that is actually getting good sized and I have a nice patch of leeks growing for fall usage and a patch of direct seeded scallions and salad onions that should be ready for use in late fall or early winter. I think I should be able to eek out the year with these prolonged fresh harvests.
