Show Us What You're Growing

[TheQuietOne]

It's a little early here. I have my seed potatoes and tomatoes ordered (Lehigh Gold and Elba potatoes, Polish Plum tomatoes).

[DavidNorcross]

No real pics to post yet. But potatoes, radishes, cauliflower, brussels, broccoli, onions, zuchinni, eggplant, peppers, lettuce, kale, carrotts, cabbage and a bunch of herbs. Still a little early for tomoatoes and cukes, but wont be long.

Growing Cayenne, jalapeno and habaneros..

My attempt on habanero was a failure..
They died.. possibly to nightfrost..

It’s been quite a few years since my wife and I have had a garden. In fact, I don’t think we’ve tried at our new house (been here for 10 years)!

but this year, we bought a trough and 10 plants, from various peppers to basil and oregano. This morning, while watering I noticed our first green chile growing, a Big Jim Green Chile variety. Exciting to see since it’s been such a long time!




and for all you chile addicts, Hatch Green Chile is coming - I’ve seen many posts in the last week that the first harvest is coming!

With back problems, my garden keeps getting smaller and I am down to tomatoes and corn. My wife planted zucchini, cukes, melons, and some herbs. I will try to remember to take some photos tomorrow. Almost forgot she planted kale too - I know it's a favorite here.

Well, at least there's no Brussels sprouts sucking up valuable, life sustaining water and nutrients from the soil. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that BS sucks up O2 instead of CO2 and instead of converting CO2 to O2 they convert O2 to CO2. Now I could believe THAT is the reason for greenhouse gas!

[Panhead John]

THAT along with cattle….and I do contribute some methane myself.

[klflowers]

Me personally, I am still growing the same thing as I was last year... I did trim my hair this year though

[Panhead John]

Don’t know about y’all, but I’m having a C-section. I heard the other way is a little painful.

[ComfortablyNumb]

I trimmed my beard and nose hairs, I was too tired after that to trim any more hair.

[klflowers]

CaptainMike, any day now. Panhead John, I got no answer that I could post in polite company.

[DavidNorcross]

Dug some potatoes for dinner and made some zucchini bread for the freezer

[ComfortablyNumb]

I have that egg basket.

[DavidNorcross]

We bought two just to use. They are great baskets! If I am not mistaken you raise alot of chickens?

[ComfortablyNumb]

I have 50 layers.

[Donw]

Picked about a dozen tomatoes today. Our 9 pepper plants just keep producing.

[Donw]

Today’s pickings

[Panhead John]

Heck yeah! I’d be growing the same stuff if I had the room. Along with some corn maybe.

[CaptainMike]

Nice early haul!

Photos as promised above:

The garden.



Me in the shot to show how tall the tomato plants are.

The tomatoes I picked today.

[Huskee]

Ron are you admitting you're shorter than a tomater plant?

[RonB]

Huskee - yes - I am shorter than a 6' tomato plant. And they are now over 7".

[Huskee]

Lol. I had some enormous ones the last year I grew them. My garden is surrounded by dog kennel chainlink fence (lots of deer) and I had to run twine across the tops (6' up) to support them. It was crazy. Your tomayters look great by the way.

[CaptainMike]

Our first hollerpainyo haul of 2021. Collette is making candied hollerpainyos this morning. I might pluck some cayennes today or tomorrow to make some hot sauce. I love Nature's bounty!!

[CaptainMike]

And a few hours later we have 7 pickled and 6 candied pints of jalapenos

[Elton's BBQ]

Nice!

[Argoboy]

I grow a small garden with beans, tomato’s, beets and garlic, I also like to grow some jalapeño and habanero peppers. The habanero peppers always take more time to ripen but I have ripe ones now. I bought my plants 4 of each type at a local green house and I seem to have one super habanero plant, see below the difference in size of the fruit, the plant itself is also larger than the other three with more fruit. These will end up in fermented hot sauce.

[CaptainMike]

We've never had much luck with habeneros, but we have plenty of cayenne, Tabasco, arbol, and others this year.

[Elton's BBQ]

Got some jalapenos growing..

[Elton's BBQ]

Forgot that i also have Cayenne growing.. 😆
