Hi Cricket!

I'm in Raleigh, central NC. I think we're zone 7.

We started picking yellow squash a few days ago. And we have gotten one little cabbage so far. The peas are a mess of blossoms, so it won't be too much longer on them. And despite my warning, hubby picked a hot banana pepper right off the plant and took a bite.
