corn here went crazy this yr....even field corn is way over my head.

Harvested my first bushel of half runners today, and got some in the crockpot now with some fatback, going to can the rest.

I am eating cucumbers and a few pole beans.

Awesome! Minnesota Vikings purple soil!! Lol

I just took them pics a few minutes ago and it's getting dark. That soil is heavily fortified with rotted black cow manure, and miracle grow. I suppose it's giving off some radiation of sorts, lol.

Lol, ya my cell does not do well in low light either! Just had to say it

That was out of my good camera, lol. My cell would have took a dark, green ish hued pic .

Good looking garden Les, my tommy toes are ripe and my big tomatoes are turning, peppers are about ready and a dug a hill of my potatoes and they look great. Corn should be ready next week. It's been a great year for the gardens here

Nice gardens guys!

This year I had no chance for a garden. Wife was having heart attacks and procedures.

So, my garden is 3 tomato plants in planters on the porch. Picked the first two tomatoes today. I hope Wifey enjoys them.

Do any of you guys grow little tiny things that look like tiny watermelons? Last year a guy gave us about a dozen. They were interesting and tasty. What are they?

I used to grow some Sugar Baby watermelons up here, and they would grow best if I planted them and cantaloupe right through black plastic on top of the garden. I had a wheel barrow of watermelon, and all the cantaloupe came ripe on about the same day.

I could have hot Hungarian peppers in my eggs at breakfast, but I'll use the first ones in a batch of refrigerator pickles in about 10 days as cukes are coming nicely and I've eaten a couple.

Just eating the last of the tomatoes. The sweet potatoes are doing pretty good and the herbs are fine to. I think its to warm here for brussel sprouts. they don't do to well. Not bad going though for growing stuff on a boat

Les - I am familiar with the sugar baby watermelons. They are great.

The guy last year grew these things that were the size of a large grape and looked like a tiny watermelon. Wife said they were tasty. The entire berry is edible.

Green beans are done. Canned about 30 pints and 12 quarts. Eating tomatoes and cucumbers. Canning them too. Potatoes are looking great. Dug one hill and made it into potato salad. Onions are coming along. Sweet potatoes will take awhile...they take their sweet time.

trapper les, garden looks great!

Not a green bean fan, the only way I eat them is very young, raw right off the plant.

My son eat a bunch raw yesterday while we were stringing and breaking, but they taste like grass to me when raw

Picking my bush beans, zucchini, cucumbers and peas. Have a few ripe cherry tomatoes. Lots and lots of green tomatoes. They should start ripening any day now. Have some corn that is ready. Thunder storms and high winds knocked some corn over. Also had to really tie up the tomato plants. Some are close to 9’ tall. Had to bend them over and run them back through the string. My stakes are 6’ above ground and I’m all out of room to tie them higher.

Picking zucchinis now. Cherry tomatoes just got going, will have "regular" tomatoes in a week or so I think.

Jalapenos are just really getting going now and looks to be a bumper crop. As usual, my sweet pepper yields are not what they should be... haven't figured that out yet.

Giant pumpkins are going like gangbusters and I expect to have at least one over 100 lbs.

Next year, I'll have plastic on the hoop house and things should be quite accelerated as far as peppers and tomatoes.

I have crimson sweet, sugar baby, cantelope, and rattlesnake melon, corn is silking out, peppers half grown, tomatoes half grown

booooooming

Doing well until that summer nor’ester Came through the other night. Heavy branches loade with tomatoes snapped at the base!
