Let's see those '09 gardens

07-01-2009, 09:54 AM

Starting to get squash and cukes. Tomatoes are behind because of the cold spell. Corn is very tall but no tassels yet. String beans are getting big but no blooms yet. I have some tobacco from tzaddi's seeds but they are tiny still. A bad year for fruit here. The weather turned terrible just as everything was blooming. I have one pear, that's it. Not counting the persimmons, which bloomed later.

Cooked 8 hot banana peppers and 4 jalenpenos last night. Stuffed them with cream cheese, wrapped them with bacon, and covered them with cheddar cheese.

All from the garden.

Garden update-
Cucumbers are starting to develop nicely

Got some nice asparagus spears coming up still.

Thought this was kinda cool. The eggplants flowers are starting to develop spikes on them.

Harold, the eggplant bud is awesome! Never seen one so young in development. Thanks.

I've put up 4 quart jars of jalapenos, cut into rings, and pickled with vinegar. Wore later gloves the entire time. Hot bastards! Plants still full of peppers. Squash have finally all but petered out. Planted 6 more hills of them this weekend. Tomatoes are still producing well, but slowed down a little. Cucumbers slowed a bit, too. Planted a few more hills of those this weekend. On a side note, I'm now on my 3rd batch of bluebirds this year. I've got two houses and only one house has ever been productive and it stays busy from early spring until. The side lifts up on it to clean and inspect. Here's a shot I took while mom and dad were foraging. i have no idea where they find all the insects I see them hauling back and forth. It's a miracle of nature.

Great picture Jamie! The robins under our deck had their second set of babies and they are all gone now. Amazing how fast the process is.

I ended up eat my first cucumber from the garden last night. Our season must be quite a bit after yours down in the Carolinas. Appears everything is about to hit it's prime here in another week. Still haven't gotten my first red tomato yet. Lot's of them but all are still green?
