The asparagus has come to life. I cut some last nite just enough for a meal. The Okra has really taken off too. My peppers have been producing all summer and more now since the rain. I planted all my plants in 8"dia holes about 4ft deep this year, pumpkins, watermelons, canaloupes, peppers, tomatoes. Each one got 3 gallon of water every nite when it was hot, they all did good and never wilted. I'll be drilling holes in the garden again next year. [Reply]  [No Email]

The last couple weeks we have been overwhelmed with produce. It's been a 7 day a week job to keep up with canning, freezing (no more room in vegie freezer). The wifey has resorted to dehydrating stew and soup stock. The tators and onions are all dug and stored in the root celler. Still have more mators, carrots, cabage, celery, brusel sprouts, dried beans, winter squash and mellons to harvest. The wifey didn't even go to the grocery store this week. We're looking to be "net 0" at the grocery store, other than basics for cooking. Got lots of fish and hoping for some venison, "season opens early this year" Loren [Reply]  [No Email]

Cucumbers just starting to produce though they have had blossoms for several weeks. Peppers had an early flush then very little but now producing again. The garden has been frustrating for the past couple of years. I bought another half bushel of tomatoes today so we would know there would be enough canned stock. [Reply]  [No Email]

Lettuce cabbage, radishes, and a couple other thing. Got around 2 inches of rain over night and today and when checking for eggs noticed where a pumpkin had rotted on the vine I now have a bunch of pumpkins growing for the seed left there. Canning some more Sweet jalapeno slices today since it is around 60 out side and still raining a bit [Reply]  [No Email]
