Sounds to me like you are conducting a strain improvement program in your back yard. You should take some fruit from this plant and toss it into the woodpile again to see what happens next summer.

Good looking carrots there UT and I am so drooling over your Brussel sprouts. I love those things..

I am only growing flowers. This year they took along time to get strong because of the surrounding arbovite having a desease so my blooms are just getting big and lush. The miniature rose has so many buds on it and so does the snap dragon. I guess my pride dosn's show through in the photos too well.

My fushia are just comming up. I have a standard kind then one with little pink delicate flowers. The pot behind the snap dragons is an Azalea. It has a graphed red stem amoungst white. It is really sepectacular when it is feeling well. The pot behind the rose are wild flowers mostly poppys. We have mild falls so I expect these to be still blooming way into october.

If this works well, 1st photo is of my pepper. About the only thing left alive around here. No flappin rain.
Next one is of what I picked today. May try something new this time. Let them have a go in blender before I bottle.

I'm mostly growing crab grass but our tomato crop is very heavy. Pete put up a lot of sauce Saturday.

glatt · 08-28-2006, 07:48 AM

Our "garden" is sad. We put a fence around it to keep the bunnies away, which makes weeding it a much harder chore. So we don't weed. Picture a few wilted tomato plants hidden in a clot of tall grass.

Next year, I'll really figure something out. Next year...

warch · 08-28-2006, 07:08 PM

We're doing well with tomatoes, too. They are liking the new spot. greens are going well- kale, romaine, chard. Yesterday made a tasty improvised batch of penne with sausage, tomato, kale.
I am dumbstruck by how beautiful the red cabage is. Its like purple-grey silk. I'll do more next year. I am planning to renovate for more edible garden realestate. Eggplant, more beans are on the docket for 2007.

skysidhe · 08-29-2006, 08:40 AM

busterb, I keep comming back to this thread to see the beautiful pepper plant of yours. I didn't know you could grow one in a hanging pot. I'll try that one day.

glatt,To keep bunnies out maybe you could try raising your garden plot?

zippyt · 10-29-2006, 06:14 PM

Zippyt, don't you live in like zone 85 or something? I thought you guys could grow bananas in February down there. Right now we have tons of Collards and swiss chard. Also a few Broccoli that may yet head out.

Any good Collard recipes from down south?
