I'm almost with @Hens and Roos!
HARVESTING cabbage? I haven't even planted any yet!
However, today I did plant 6 artichoke plants, 3 cherry tomatoes, 2 Orange sweet peppers, a pot of cantaloupe, a pot with 2 zucchini (DW likes them) and a pot of asparagus. Peas up (not great germination), some Fortex beans up (giving it a few more days before I call them a near bust as well).

I had a hard time adjusting to our Zone 7 after being in Zone 9 and 10 for most of my life. These pictures aren't meant to show the garden as much as the amount of rocks in this spot and why I'm using raised beds. I don't know how well the pictures show the rocks though. The row of berries was made with my front end loader. I pulled out a little over two foot of broken rock and replaced it with some good river bottom soil.
We harvested a basket full of Patty Pan Squash and zucchini today and I will already say we planted too much squash.
I'm already thinking I planted too many squash plants.

You already know what the slabs look like but I need to dig some pictures out of some that were as big as my little tractor and 5-6 inches thick. I obviously couldn't pick them up but I could push them down the hill to get them to the big hole we are filling in.

I can't really see big rocks but what I do see is an awesome garden! Looks great!

Personally, I could use about 4-5 truck loads of that rock...but that would cost a "Pretty Penny" over this way.

Why is everything always in the wrong place? You need rocks, I have an abundance of excess rocks. Some people need rain, we currently have an overabundance of rain (should not be raining tomorrow through mid afternoon Thursday 
). High today 54°, similar to the last few days. Supposed to hit 71° tomorrow 
and 80°(a bit warm for here!) Thursday. Oh man, I just looked at the days past that: 72° on Friday, 75° Saturday, 80°Sunday and 85° Monday. Oh joy, and it comes with high humidity. Guess I better find some earplugs because DW complains mightily any time it gets up near 80° let alone higher. Twice as often and more loudly with high humidity.
