It's a beast! That thing should be putting out like a $5..... oh nevermind.

Great looking plants.

Also I noticed your tomato has a dark crack in the very top. Not sure if you know this or not but you should pick them fairly quick when they get those cracks in the top. What happens is the water settles in that crack and rots the fruit sometimes before you ever get to eat it.

Did not know that, thanks for the tip, I'll have to introduce that tomato to my belly later tonight!

Put up 6 jelly jars, 2 pint jars, and one quart jar of sliced jalapenos today. Vinegar, a little water, and salt. Already have about as many from last month. I have none from last year and have two pints jars left from '07 that are eating well. My plants this year have been phenomenal! They're 3' tall and still full of flowers. I ass is going to end up hating 2009!!

your making my mouth water thinking about eating this. I love to just munch on some every once in a while. I cant eat to many jalapenos but a few now and then are good.

I went out and got some 7dust and the anti fungal stuff. Can i put them on at the same time? How offten shoudl i put both on?

Come on, Rob! I know it's not manly, but read the directions!

And yes, you can apply both at once. I often mix the two together and knock them both out at once.

This afternoon, put up 5 half-pint jars and 6 pint jars of pickled, sliced jalapenos. In this batch I put a little salt and a little clopped garlic. This probably makes about 30 jars of peppers so far. I opened a jar from 7/5 and it's coming along nicely. Hot as hell, too!

As I commented in Andy's thread, My 5-year old daughter and I ripped up the garden, except for the pepper plants. We planted 6 hills of squash and 9 collards sets. We also planted some Cosmos and Forget-Me-Nots just because she wanted flowers. I'll stop by Lowe's on the way home tomorrow and get a few more flower seed packets just for her. She gave up a trip to the bowling alley with her mom and brother to help me in the garden. I can't tell you how that makes me feel inside. I'll get a picture in a week or two.

It was a great summer of '09. Now we turn the page...

I wish I had a garden. Maybe next year.
