Default Re: Let's see those '11 gardens!

I have a decent sized garden this year:

4 6 ft rows of green beans
4 6 ft rows of peas
4 5 ft rows of lettuce (2 of them are getting very close to pruning the outside leaves for salads)
3 bush beans
4 roma tom
10 tomatoes (celebrity, better bush)
4 jalapeno
2 serrano
16 green p
4 yellow p
2ft x 10ft "patch" of raspberries

Question: I know lettuce will do fine for a fall harvest since it is a little cooler, how about peas?

Depends on the variety of pea. If it's a snow pea type then it loves cooler weather. If it's a cowpea type, then heat is what you want.

It's a Spring/Sweet pea so I 'm guessing the would be good for the fall too

Called my dad - going to help him harvest 4 rows of potatoes this weekend. His rows are probably 40 yards long. We'll end up with a truckload of red and irish potatoes. I'll end up passing them out to folks at work and friends of ours. We've never ate them all. Saturday afternoon we're replanting the rows with Valencia peanuts. I'm bringing a large handful back to put in my garden. I need something else to water.

Below are some squash from Friday and today, plus a few sweet 100 cherries. I also snapped some pictures of the garden. Those japalenos are huge and still growing. I'm still eating pickled ones from last year.
