How the Garden is Growing

I occasionally get questions on how the garden is growing. An illustration below is a close-up of a Zucchini harvested today (Sept 4, 20220).

To get a better idea of the size, here is the same picture with a scale.

This is the largest of several more that are growing, so I am searching the web for pickling & canning recipes. I had planned to wait until I moved into the new house to start canning, but the Zucchini may drive me to start sooner.

As long as I was in the garden, here is an overview of how things are:

Potatoes in the planter have been growing like gangbusters. the ones in buckets not so much.

The corn started off fine but seems to have stalled. (Maybe leaving for three-weeks in July wasn’t the best idea.) The tops are dying off while the one or two small ears of corn are just sitting there.

The house continues apace. A quick tour, I estimate that it’s about 85% done with drywalling. See the tour below.

The right side of the above is back side of wallboard, the left side is unfinished wall behind kitchen.
