[Rob whatever]

Just new to this thread. How far back do I need to scroll to find some good weed?

Summer Heat, it will cool soon, and these 5 plants are loaded with small peppers and flowers

5 containers in fridge

I planted this tomato and forgot what it's called. Any suggestions? I think I picked it too early.

[Donw]

It could be an unripened Cherokee Purple. Can’t tell if the top color is purple or black.

[pasmom]

The top color is black. Think I picked it up too early.

From wikipedia:
The Black Krim is an heirloom tomato originating from Crimea. The plant is open-pollinated, indeterminate, bearing 8 ounce flattened globe fruits that are dark reddish-purple to black with green/brown shoulders. In 1990 it became the first "black" tomato to be commercially available in the United States.

Well, the Rancho Gordo bean experiment is probably over. Got rid of the bugs the first time around but it stunted plant growth. I did get a handful of bean pods out of it. I planted the other planter later and they grew like rockets... unfortunately I suspect it got too hot when they flowered and nothing happened. There has been another flowering attempt, but today I noticed aphids and whatever these fly things are... killed everything with fire because it made me feel better...




No bugs on the other planter so I'll let it go for now...

Not sure if this is showing what your are growing or what you are cooking. We grew the tomato’s and canned the sauce, I am going to add it to this thread. Fresh tomato sauce going in the pantry, 14 quarts to far this season.

[theroc]

Officially in "tomato overload" season. Picked 7lbs of mostly cherry tomatoes this morning. Like candy.

Need advice from our farming community. These are the Thai basil seeds I planted as of today. I dropped multiple seeds, so multiple plants have sprouted in each container. First question is how big do they need to be before I move them to the large planter? Second question is, do I need to separate the individual plants when I transplant? Many thanks.

[hoovarmin]

RonB CandySueQ DavidNorcross acorgihouse I did as you instructed. CandySueQ there wasn't really enough for a salad, but I did enjoy munching on them.

[CandySueQ]

Micro greens!

The nice thing about basil, and other herbs in the mint family, is that once you have established plants you can take cuttings and clone them. Just take a cutting from right above a leaf node, throw it in some water for a week or so until you see some roots forming and then put it in some soil. Boom, new basil plant.Works with oregano, basil, mint, rosemary, thyme.

After last year's near-zero tomato yield, we have enough to give some away. Hail the Midnight Snack variety!

[SammyJ]

Processed another 12 1/2 pints of pickled brown jalapeños, I've reached my goal of 60 1/2 pints, but don't tell my pepper plants, they have no intention of slowing down.

7 containers filled 12 jars

[Finster]

Damn. I eat a ton of peppers, but it would take me a long time to go through that many.

[DavidNorcross]

I guess what you are growing does not have to be vegetables? 6 weeks ago I hatched 20 Cotournix quail. Have 20 more in the incubator. 6 weeks later they started laying.

[DavidNorcross]

3 quail eggs makes 1 chicken egg RonB . A quail will lay 300 eggs a year. Should be fun.

[Donw]

Great. Kathy and I raised quail until we moved into our latest home. Really enjoyed it and I know you will too. I loved watching them hatch. We also raised Colinus virginianus (Bobwhites) mainly for restocking our friends and neighbors.fields. For those we had to pay the state a whole $5 a year for a wildlife breeders permit.

[hoovarmin]

This is going to be a fun thread!

[theroc]

Costuloto Genovese just picked.

This is my wife;s domain.....

I only help with the heavy lifting!

[hoovarmin]

This is a serious operation

[Bad Hat BBQ]

A man that has 5-6 cookers less than 4 paces away from those boxes, has no room to question what goes on in the garden & backyard!! I will say that the peppers, tomato & zucchini have been really good

[mnavarre]

The sum total damage from The Storm Of The Century That Wasn't, Particularly, At Least Around Here.



Two branches off the pepper plants in the front bed. We shall rebuild, I suppose.

Tons of green pods on both branches.





It would help if I knew what either variety actually was, since they overwintered and the plant tags have gone missing. Which means i'm gonna have to taste 'em, and I'm fairly sure at least one is a superhot. I'm skeert, Pa.

[Alan Brice]

Batten down the hatches n lets eat!!! You may still have some rough wind in the wings! :-)

[texastweeter]

Buy some Popsicles just in case...lol

[theroc]

5.5 inches of rain here in Altadena, but fortunately it was a long steady rain rather than downpours. No damage at our place, but we were rewarded with a haul of ripe tomatoes today.

[Alan Brice]

Japanese “Musa basjoo” banana palms. Going on fifth year. Just wack em with the battery chain saw to 18 - 22 inches days before big frost. Then mulch with all the bags of leaves n grass clippings set out for compost garbage night. Prob close to 30 feet tall! Started as a 10 inch pot with a single stalk. $20 each

[CandySueQ]

That's pretty exotic for Ohio! Beautiful plants
