Seeds, except for the maters.

I have roughly 50-65 green tomatoes bigger then golf ball, smaller then baseball. They won't go red. When will they go red

It seems to take forever.

nice chickenman! I have eaten so many figs that I don't really care much for them any more. My parents had several large clumps of fig trees in our back yard that I got to help gather when they were ripe. Dad used to make strawberry preserves using figs and strawberry jello mix ... only way to tell it from the real thing was the size of the seeds. I have tried to start a root from their trees unsuccessfully a number of times and the few times I did get them to start, the dang deer clipped em off at ground level within 3 days.

OK fellas.......Wife calls from work, say's "one of her employees has some seeds, to I want them?" I said "sure" (lack of intell for sure) She gets home and....See photo below that is one trash bag full, plus we have 2 boxes, BUT WAIT, she is sending more!!!! WTH

Sorry for the crappy cell photo, i am a bit "overwhelmed" Apparently the girls mother works for a "Large retailer" who was throwing these out taking the tax break vs selling at a discount is all I can guess. Much will go in my food plot, but I am sure willing to share if the logistics can be worked out....geeez

I've got large tomato plants with lots of flowers but no tomatoes! Does anyone have any advise?

Try hand pollinating, but heat will cause that too (with some types) and not much you can do then.

Happens every year when 95+ degree days set in. I just trim mine back, keep them watered and wait for cooler weather so that they will set fruit again.

Is it too late to plant a Jalapeño? I was thinking of a few plants in 5 gallon containers.

It has been a good year, but the heat is finally taking its toll on the tomatoes. Here are a few pics of this mornings harvest the wife sent me. Her and my son have been doing a good job since I have been away for work.

Looks good Cobra. Plant your broccoli and cauliflower seeds next week on up until September if you want to grow them from seeds. You can start with a 2 foot area with your seeds and grow enough for your whole neighborhood.

Here's some pics of some of the toils of my labor this year

first harvest, early June


I finally mowed these down because I was tired of picking them, I've never had green beans last into July


Pintos


this was sometime in the middle of June

Nice looking veggies. I have already plowed up about half of my crops as well.

my wife said I had to quit using the island to ripen my tomatoes


This was my biggest picking, I had 7 bushels of tomatoes


Picked these 2 weeks ago, the squash plants have since burned up but the Zuccs are still going strong

Thanks, yours look good as well.

I plowed up some more yesterday and for some crazy reason I'm seriously contemplating planting a fall garden

Good looking crop BG.

Thank you sir!

picked these last Thursday

Figs are ready, I've picked 6 baskets like this so far

finally getting some cantaloupes

Blue do you sell your stuff at a farmers market or just keep a big stockpile?
