Mad props to my lady for spending many hours pulling weeds over the weeks. For our first garden that was hastily thrown together, I think things are looking pretty good.

The weather here has been 90's with a heat index of 105 for the last couple weeks so things are a little droopy during the full sun of the day.

Dig some more digging and pulling today.



Harvested some kale seeds. I have some Swiss chard and a few beets going to seed as well. I've decided to start just letting a few plants go to seed and harvesting them instead of buying them every year.

Forgot the squash, zucchini, peas, and greens. Anyone know what kind of peppers I'm growing? Free start from a neighbor and didn't get it's variety.
Sounds great.
I wouldn't dare to guess what you've got there.
This is my first garden so the only reason I know what I've got is because I made sure to label them.

I knew I'd smoke once and...poof... right out the window :lol:

That's a nice assortment. Made me feel better. Thought my crops were lagging. About the same as yours though. Harvested fat pickle cukes and a few ears of corn. Best in 15 or so years. Haven't grown in years. Needed a privacy fence. And my pepper patch is growing a different fire this year.

Keep it up. Not even the farm stands can deliver the flavors or nutrients of home grown non molested veggies.

Thanks.
I think the weather we've had the last couple weeks has been killing us.
Not much relief or ripening happening @ 90F and 80RH :(

Forget your location. But I hear you. Times are changing. Seems like winter starts in December. And Spring in late June. That's almost two months off. If only it would stay dry and above 45° till November.

Just pulled these. Get much larger and they get watery in the middle. Perfect personal snack. They are called "Fat Pickle". The old man, whose driveway is my kid's bus stop, gave them to me last year. He has since passed. But his memory lives on. And he had great cukes. ☺
