Random Garden Stuff

Yeah, I don't know about this whole three sisters thing. Either the indians had way better corn than I do or they had way worse beans than I do. Note that all four bean plants in this cluster of corn have found their way to the top of the plant and now don't have any idea what to do. Since I don't have anymore long poles or branches, I don't know what to do either. Unfortunately, these bean plants seem more interested in growing long rather than making beans. This variety of beans hasn't made a single one yet!

On the other hand, the corn production is starting too look up. Even though the plants didn't grow very high, they all have corn on them and some are starting to get to a size that makes me think they might actually end up usable.
Waiting for peppers to ripen is painfully slow. Hurry up already. they've looked about the same for weeks now. Actually, thats not quite true. You can see the very tip of one of the cayenne peppers starting to turn red.
I don't think I've really had any good pictures of the asparagus so I figured I'd take a couple. There are 4 or 5 plants crammed in along the fence. Some are doing better than others. Note the thick clump of asparagus about a foot off the ground most of the way towards the left side. That is about 8-10 mini stalks of asparagus from the same plant, but none have gotten more than about 18" high.
Most of the other asparagus is doing better than that. They keep sending stalks up every once in a while. Is August the time for asparagus to be sprouting? This plant seems to think so.
The day's harvest. Several cukes, a small amount of green beans (from a different variety than the one shown in the first picture), a bunch of micro-greens (AKA thinnings from the fall seeding), and about a 1/4 lb of edamame. I wasn't really sure when to harvest them, but some of the pods were looking awfully plump, so I figured I should pick them before they get over-ripe.
I don't know why this picture showed up at the bottom. It should be up with the other bean picture, but its a pain to move it at this point, so I'm leaving it here. I knew this patch of corn wasn't doing well, so I took the two 8' poles that I used for tomato stakes last year and leaned them up against the garage, training the beans up them. The beans seemed pretty happy about that.
