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.
