“Here’s an early July harvest and an early August harvest from Petworth. Yellow squash, zucchini, chard, strawberries and a lone tomato in July (I planted the tomatoes a bit late this year). Sungold and grape tomatoes, purple and green pole beans, the last of the chard, radishes, turnips and a TON of radish/turnip greens from August (I don’t think I thinned the radishes/turnips enough earlier this season, so a lot of them never matured but did produce the tasty green tops!) Anyone have a good recipe to use up a boatload of spicy greens??”

“With the exception of the onions and beets, all the peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes pictured here (fresh out of the smoker) came from my neighbor’s backyard garden in Manor Park. The garlic was grown in a veggie bed at my son’s school, West Education Campus in 16th Street Heights.”

“I rode right to my plot in the Upshur Community Garden in Petworth from work​ and forgot a container for my tomatoes, so had to get a little creative. These are a variety of sun gold, sakura cherry and lemon boy. (Note to fellow cyclists: I only had to bike three short blocks south without wearing my helmet.)”
