The Straight Eight cucumbers didn't produce well despite being worked hard by some very dedicated little bumblebees.
The Great Stuff peppers have been slow to get going, but there are peppers growing.
Sugar Baby watermelon? There is ONE growing.
Cantaloupe? Nary a one, again, not the fault of the dedicated bumblebees.
Butternut squash? Growing, baby. Looking good. 
Cabbage? Holy crap! My garden spot can grow some cabbage!!!
It's a good thing we like cabbage. The last batch of cabbage came out of the freeze drier this morning, and I'm glad to be done. The weather tomorrow looks to be cooler, so tomorrow I'll clean out the cabbage patch and turn over the soil.
Another lesson learned this year is to better stagger planting the cabbage. We had too many heads mature at the same time this year. We can only consume so much Cole Slaw before we begin to let it go to waste, which is not why I garden.
I've learned a lot about cabbage this summer. Now I need to apply that to next year, when the time comes.
