GA/BY: Harvest so far (seems puny)

Here's what's been harvested so far this year:

kale
chard
broccoli (including a nice head of Belstar tonight)
basil (not a lot though)
stevia
peppers -- mostly jalapeno or hungarian sweet, not a ton -- and all pepper plants look kinda pathetic
garlic scapes from the few garlics that produced scapes

No zucchini yet, though looking at last year the first was July 4th, and this year a few are on the way so it's not that far behind.

Stevia harvest a-plenty; grow it only in containers in future bec avoids slug damage; wee green insects

The stevias in containers not only look overall happier than the in-ground ones, they're also free from slug damage which the in-ground ones are suffering from a little bit.

Also, there are itty bitty green insects on some of the leaves.  I'm not worried about the plants, but of course don't want to eat them, so am inspecting the leaves closely when harvesting.
