Our zucchini is finally producing almost one a day sometimes two from 2 plants... no record numbers but at least we are getting some! In a week or so we`ll have a BUNCH of ripe tomatoes, peppers, and a little corn. Late season. elizabeth- I feel your pain our tomatoes are not red either.

Your asparagus only prodces spears for 8 weeks (10 in an exceptional season), then must go to fern to invigorate itself for next year, so no worry. Right on track. Good for you on all the fronts; it sounds like a great year. Don't overfeed the Brussels sprouts or they won't set buds (just leaves, leaves, leaves). Is that maybe at work? Welcome, Marci.
