my garden is toast now.......and Im fine with that

Mine too. I was tired of it. I put up a lot of vegetables, and have enough onions to last until fall. I still have a few potatoes in the vegetable crisper.

I am actually thinking of making a small herb garden...

I've planted mine both ways. It's odd that Bonnie would show cat faced, and unevenly ripened tomatoes as an example.

Is anyone else have trouble with Wasp in the blackeye pea patch. I have hundreds on the vines every time I try to harvest, Sprayed with Seven and it ran them off for a few minutes.

Spray them with soapy water and they will die.

This is a really neat site and some great ideas that all of us can incorporate

Nice find t64, thanks for sharing

You can plant broccoli and cauliflower seeds this week and keep them moist, then transplant them in September.

Tonight's harvest

Good looking peppers East.

Apparently that's all my soil will grow.

Canned half then went to freeze the other half and my "new" food saver popped and won't even grab a bag now.

Pissed

Pickle some of those cucumbers. It's easy, just slice them or pack them whole. Make a brine of two parts water, one part vinegar, and salt. Pour the brine over the cucumbers and refrigerator after they turn color.

Nice East. That's about all I harvested is hot peppers, a few green beans and a decent amount of cukes. I've made about 8 jars of pickles and Bill is right it is easy.

Those jalapeños look like they are for sissies.

Those jalapeños look good!

This is what today's jalapenos should look like;

According to who, Hef?

According to my good friend East among many. He admitted that he would rather have the giant jalapenos but couldn't find the seeds.

So you and East are the be all/end all of jalapenos?

All of the giant jalapenos that I have eaten had no heat at all.

Mine were hot. In the past I used 4 per pint in my salsa. This year 2 per pint did the trick. My chow-chow came out almost too hot.

Bill, did you buy plants or start your peppers from seeds? Do you recall the variety?

I bought the plants.
