cool---we got 1 giant tomato early---last 3 weeks have been well supplied with 3 variety of squash--butternut, crookneck & another---and some cukes are coming on---have not seen 1 honey bee---lot's of wasp & bumble bees
the squash are mighty tasty
i am hoping for a long easy fall/early winter--seems that is when production is best down here--i don't think anything else, short of climate controlled or hydroponic will do any better, right here

No bees here, the apple trees never blossomed. Squash are slow setting on but vines all over the place. I probably won't have any 'maters ripe for several weeks. My rutabagas are all tops and the onions ain't doing for shit either.

Just like a turnip but milder. IDK on eating the tops. I've got more greens than I can eat with the swiss chard and beet greens,
