Green Pepper

Some corn is actually waist high. I had to plant several rows over as the rain washed many of the seeds away.

I thought I could see a beetle attacking that tomato for a second there.

What a difference a couple of days make. Corn shot up.

Corn is sure hard on the soil. Crop looks good.

Not enough rain here.

Quit slacking on the weeding.  I see grass next to the green pepper.

Shoot, those rascals grow like weeds and I don't like herbicides.

I got cucumbers and tomatoes just starting to set fruit (bit later than usual, but the nights havent really warmed up until starting last week), and one of the best crops of basil and pasley that I've had in a while too thanks to the mild and long spring.  Also because of our late and long spring I planted a late crop of peppers, thinking I'll have enough time to get some out of them before things start cooling off in October.

Mine sucks bad this year. 11" + of rain in a week tends to make things die out very fast when they are in standing water for several days:(

That green pepper is now salad.


I have 18 tomato plants and folks they are producing. I need a freezer fast.

I haven't grown  tomatoes for a couple of years. We would just can/masonjars right from the garden about 15 tomatoes makes a mason jar full.
Makes great tomatoes sauce, good for chille, and tomatoe soup etc.. and lasts all year.
