My "Medieval" raised bed garden is coming along nicely. The peas have set and the "Sutton's Harbringer" in the far corner are ready to be harvested! The other variety I planted for snow peas for stir frying have turned out to be a little more stringy than I had hoped, so I will just let them finish maturing and harvest them as shelling peas instead. They have very pretty purple flowers, so I will definitely grow them again, even though they got a little out of control and needed some creative reining-in...

"Dwarf Gray Sugar" Peas
"Black Valentine" long string beans and a cucumber vine
"True Red Cranberry" shelling beans and broccoli plants in the front, with peas and a zuccini peeking from behind
Most people regret planting zuccini because they end up not being able to handle pounds and pounds of fruit at a time. I have the opposite problem, however. We could easily deal with a dozen zuccini a week, but our little zuccinis turn yellow and fall off before they get big enough to harvest. This little guy in the picture is only 3" long... still too small :(
