Those are the only things that have come up, besides the pumpkins that I thought were squash! Some of the pea pods are pretty big and firm now but how long do I wait? Is there some sort of sign, like they come off the vine easily? The green beans are just starting but I don't know when to tell if they're ready, either. Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks, Bunny! Mommamusic make a good suggestion. I do have some gardeners in my list but I should have posted this during the week--people are busy on the weekends with their own gardens or out having fun. Grandpa Bob hasn't been around for awhile, he knows tons about gardening so I hope he'll make an appearance soon.
