1. I have been playing Mother Nature with the beans in the 3 Sisters Field. Most of their tendrils missed their intended trellises. So.. I helped them along.
The canopy/gazebo has just GOT to look like I see it in my mind's eye. In a month, it should.
2. WE HAVE EGGPLANTS COMING OUT OUR EARS!!!
Yesterday we harvested 550 Italian Eggplants. Yep. 550. And that wasn't even the entirety of what was available. Now I have no real frame of reference for previous seasons' takes, but D cannot stop commenting on how much we're pulling in. It's blowin my mind too.
We had to harvest them in the same manner as melons (throwing them to a catcher posted at a LARGE bin on loader forks) due to the quantity. Personal harvest bins would've been ridiculously slow.
(bwah ha ha ha ha!!!)
I like this series of pics (in the eggplant rows, no doubt)

As for today, it moved along just like a Tuesday here should.
We harvested.
We loaded bins for remote drop off.
