Round two of yellow squash is ready to be picked, and if you look closely, round three is getting ready.
The Beans are beaning
The gigantic swiss chard stalks are starting to make mature seed. Its the luculus variety, white stalks, its not the prettiest out there but it is a good reliable producer. This one survived a winter, so hopefully its offspring inherited that tendency. I'll be replanting to verify, its nice to have chard early in the second year. Who knows in a couple years I might have a variant that tolerates the syracuse winter fairly reliably. Lord knows I'll have lots of seed, if anyone wants some I'm open to trade. I'm 100% sure no other member of the beet family has been flowering for at least a mile radius, so it ought to be true to type.
And finally fennel, ahh the wonderful plant that makes delicious fronds, bolts at the first sign of sun, but makes a big supply of flowers to attract all kinds of helpful bugs, is going to seed as well. No worries, the seed is useful too.
And lastly the hyssop is starting to flower, but the wind picked up, so I couldn't get a picture that wasn't blurry.
