They're easy to grow and would complement your tomatoes and cucumbers nicely. Plus, harvesting them is always a fun surprise. Another idea could be radishes if you want something quick to grow and harvest.

Wait.. what's your first option before calling out the Radishes?

Blue Lake bush beans. 50 days from seed to harvest.

Egg plant

This year, so far, in Upstare SC, we've had:

- Cherry tomatoes, 1 plant, and we get 20-30 per day!
- Cherokee Purple tomatoes, a few, and they're almost done
- Beefsteak tomatoes, plenty for us
- squash and zucchini didn't do well
- cucumbers didn't do well, but they usually do
- green peppers grew really well, but only had a few
- strawbwerries grew pretty well. Fitrst time for us.

Raised beds, watered with ollas mainly, but supplemented with the hose. No pesticides; wife planted some other plants that keep bugs and critters away.

We're trying to decide what to grow for fall.
