How did your onions do?

Most of my onions rotted with all the early rain. Didnt get anything bigger than a golf ball. not even sure if I'm going to waste the space on them next year. I have so many produce stands close to my house, I think I am better off just buying them.

My onions were below average this year. I'll keep trying. I get a lot of milage out of the. I'd be down to just two rows if I gave up onions and potatoes.

I know I'll plant some. I always do. but I think I try to get too many into a small area.

Onions were tough this year. I did happen to harvest three five gallon buckets of tennis ball size to baseball size. They are not storing well though. It must have been the solid month of rain they got pummeled with. I will however take a bad onion crop in trade for the rain.

FREAKING SQUASH BUGS!!!!!NOOOOOOOO


sevin dust does not work, NEEM oil does. finally getting them under control

I use a small propane torch and take their legs out, but you have to move fast. They are bad this year along with Cucumber beetles.

I was wondering if anyone has pumpkins in the ground this year? Wanted to start some but it may be too late for them to reach full maturity by Halloween. Thanks

I'd say your a month late, they usually need a 100 days or so, but seed is cheap so..

Thanks, that's what I thought. Maybe I'll just get some radish, lettuce and another set of bush beans going.

If you like broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and cauliflower, may look into those.

Heck yeah.... and I figure it is way too hot down here to fire up the lettuce right now LOL

I've planted broccoli and cauliflower seeds in a small area at this time of the year and kept them watered with my dripper hose. They were ready for transplanting by mid September. That's a good time to get your fall garden in. I like to catch the first good September rain for most of my fall garden.

Plant cilantro around the edges.

This weekends harvest.

You're still looking good. Pickle some of those jalapeños.

Looks good, Kevin. Gonna can those jalapenos?

I can some, eat some, give some away, little bit of everything. I haven't really had enough at once to be able to can very many though (only 2 jars). But they are still producing. Maters have pretty much stopped putting anything out and I have pulled all but four or five Celebrity plants. Trying to keep them alive and see if they will spit out more maters this fall. I've never been successful at doing it but my plants still look pretty good, so maybe this year?

fall garden

What all are you planting?

Looks great.

Payne looks like he has a little overkill.

broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage so far

I was doing food plots and the tiller was cutting out on me so I thought overkill was appropriate

this happened a little while ago



good clean living..
