Here's some of what was picked last week. This picking is mostly Kentucky Wonder beans:
Roma II beans, okra, cucumber and a bullhorn pepper:
And the potato harvest, discussed in the previous post. The potatoes are Kennebecs and Red Pontiacs.
This hornworm is covered with eggs from a parasitic wasp. Now that it's paralyzed I'll leave it alone so it can hatch out many more wasps. They find the caterpillars before I do.
Tally for the week: snap beans 4 lb 3 oz, pepper 6 oz, cucumber 13 oz, celery 6 oz, potatoes 45 lb 9 oz. Weekly total 52.3 pounds, for the year 189.9 pounds. This week the garden surpassed the total harvest for 2012.

Everything is looking great!! We love green beans. Ours are just coming on, but we just have a small patch this year so we will be lucky to get 5 pounds. Great job on exceeding last years totals!!
Very nice harvest. Beans are my favorite and I can't ever have enough. I pressure can mine and like having a lot of jars in storage. They are my goto vegetable when I want to prepare a meal quickly.
That's an impressive harvest of beans. Right now they are my most reliable producer and relatively trouble free. I haven't grown the wide beans like Kentucky Wonder and Roma because you get too much poundage per inch. I'm buried as it is.
