As for my onions they are still growing and getting bigger at the moment. Some of them started to go to seed quite early so I had to make sure to remove the seed pod at the tip of them stem otherwise my onions would be very small when I pick them. My yellow onions I will keep in the totes for now, but my red onions look like they are just about ready for harvesting. At the moment most of the red onions have fallen which means they are done for the season. Since my yellow onions have not fallen that means they are not quite ready for picking. It won’t be long before they begin to fall.
Now that it is time for summer crops to produce it looks like my peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini are the first to be harvested during the month of July. At the moment I have picked two zucchinis which have already been used to make some good meals and there are still more growing on the plants.
Pepper plants and tomato plants have flowers and some fruits. Right now my peppers do not have fruits, but my tomato plants do. I have at least a couple of plants that have flowers and fruits that will hopefully be ready by the month of July. Usually it is usually a cherry tomato plant that is producing because they grow and ripen much quicker than beefsteak tomatoes. Right now my beefsteak tomatoes are the ones that have tomatoes growing and plenty of flowers beginning to open.
I also have a couple of small cucumbers that are growing on a few vines that look like they have been pollinated. One of them is getting bigger each day, but another one is too small to tell if it has been pollinated yet. I am staying optimistic that they both have been pollinated and I should be getting the first cucumber of the season very soon
