We've got corn, beans, about 30 squash plants, greens out the ass, beets jumping out of the ground, lettuces, herbs, tomatoes, tomatatillos, lots of different peppers, carrots, turnips...I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Oh, blueberries, red raspberries, gold raspberries, grapes. Cucumbers. Zucchini.

I planted some really gnarly heirloom winter squash varieties. Can't wait for those.

Oh, and there's a giant blackberry bramble just across the field. It's high season right now. I pick a pint or two or three every day. Freeze some of 'em and have smoothies all winter.

If the system crashed tomorrow, we wouldn't go hungry.
