those look derish!
Out of all of the peppers that I planted the Cayenne Long Slim are starting to produce already. I can't wait to make a bunch of sauces and salsas, using habenero is my favorite though.

We get blackberries in August. And yeah, the best ones are picked that same way.
Blackberry cobbler!

I have some garden pics for you guys. I just finished pounding tomato stakes and tying them up, so I took some pics while I was out there.

New little red flower that showed up in the wildflower garden this morning...

View from the swamp...

Tomatoes. One garden is Romas, the other are a variety...

We live just south of Cleveland. I just had a little garden last year, it's nice to have a half decent one this year!!!

oh.. very nice

it's great to walk outside and get fresh produce and know where they come from...

If any of you live in the north jersey area and have some holes to fill in your garden you should seriously hit me up.

shilala · 06-12-2012, 11:12 AM

Here's the other stuff.
Banana Peppers and Green Peppers...

There's punkins, two honeydews, and watermelons...

Bush Cucumbers, Zuchini and Jalapenos...

And THE CORN!!!

You crack me up, Scott! Who needs a lawn anyway? Critters aren't a problem?

shilala · 06-12-2012, 11:41 AM

The pictures lie, Lance. There's tons of lawn. There's great big walkways between the gardens, too. They honestly look small back there.
We don't have any critters at all, just Ravens and they stay busy eating dead stuff and garbage. It's a new development, so there's not even a bunny rabbit to be seen.
The deer used to come off the gold course (we live right on the 14th green) and pass right next to the house, but since they built the one next door, they go through the empty lot a couple doors down.

Mr B · 06-12-2012, 03:55 PM

Very cool Scott. How do you water? Is there drip system below the matting or do you sprinkler from above?

We have sprinklers. There's a fertilizer injector in a vault outside and it shoots a constant supply of Miracle Grow.
I just started working on the back lawn, filling in spots and hyper fertilizing it. The front is super thick and lush and green, the back, not so much. The beginning of last summer it was like a strip mine, so it's come a long, long way.
Tonight I just picked up another bag of fertilizer and 4 more bags of lawn soil/compost to finish patching, so things will look great come Fall.

I made some signs for the garden today, it was good practice and Weeze thinks they're cute. I wrote the programming for a bunch more to cover most everything in the garden, I'll get to them later.

Mr B · 06-15-2012, 10:05 AM

Scott, those are totally cool!!! Are you going to stain/seal them too? Very nice work.

No clue. They're made out of treated lumber, so I can do whatever.
I stained the tomato stakes the color of the deck, I'll probably do the signes, too. Whatever Weeze wants.

I have a ton more to make, but I already did the part files. Now I just have to screw the wood down on the machine and make them.

lilcgrsmkr · 06-15-2012, 11:31 AM

kool signs, scott

1st 100 degree day this year ought to change my garden's attitude a little.

jjirons69 · 06-18-2012, 07:44 PM

From this:

To this, in no-time flat. The pickle worms have started on my cukes, little hungry bastiges. Pepper crop is going to be off the chain this year (tomatoes, too).

Mr B · 06-19-2012, 10:14 AM

WOW Jamie, that looks great!! We got a late start out here with the late rains this season, so we arent that far along.
Good job.
