What's growing & ripening ->
#Strawberries
Royal burgundy #beans
Oregon #snowpeas
Red Acre #cabbage

Swiss #chards growing. They've been harvested a few times already & still producing nice leaves & stalks.
I like letting some chard leaves grow super large & use them as a substitute wrapper for tamales.
