It's summer and the garden surprises & experiments keep coming—and we love (most of) them! Edith finds a black grasshopper and a mysterious scarlet beetle. Christy's cauliflower turns purple and she finds her reading glasses... in the compost pile.

We share what’s blooming in our gardens, how our zucchinis are doing, and updates on tomatoes, cabbage (Christy's pride and joy!), basil, arugula, tarragon, and more. Edith’s rosemary lives. Christy’s… not so much.

We’re also replanting for fall harvest—peas, beets, and maybe revenge. Plus: • Edith’s leeks are now perennials • Christy has a pumpkin situation • Peas that grow in a bush?! Yes, please. • Results from our romaine showdown • Armenian (or is it Albanian?) cucumber updates • Luffa dreams and pruning tips for tomatoes and cukes • New tomato varieties we're trying out: Early Girl+, Champion 2, and Oxheart

Don’t miss a hilarious Mail Bag letter from Mexico about car zucchinis, a new gardener's stand-up set in You Might Be a Gardener, and a beetle with a PR problem in The Benefits of Japanese Beetles.

We wrap with an inspiration to make peace with rainy days—and yes, there's a little Easter egg if you listen past the credits!
