Let's see those '11 gardens! - Page 16

Too late in the day for a picture - I picked 12 large, beautiful bell peppers. Also crushed the jalapenos with over 100 picked - some big suckers, too. My basket ranneth over. I'm putting them up tomorrow night. Need some more lids for my pint jars. Still have 4 jars from last November that are quite tasty. I'm been sharing them on and off with co-workers and friend. Nothing says love like a jar of hot peppers!

Had to dust my collards. F'ing worm invasion on a few of them over the weekend when I was out of town. Doesn't take long before those buggers can get out of check. The greens are otherwise doing very well and are getting huge.

We had a hot spell here that turned the tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers back on. With luck they will ripen before a cold snap hits them.

Still getting green beans. Tomatoes have slowed to a crawl. Potatoes are making a second crop. Squash still going. Most everything else is gone and we didn't start a winter crop. We haven't got the killing frost yet.

I just cleaned up the garden this past weekend. I left the broccoli for the bees as I always do. It'll keep putting on flowers and feeding the bees until it freezes hard as a rock. That's a good 8 weeks away, at least.
Our garden was absolutely stellar this year, we used just about everything. We were totally spoiled. Having just that little strip of dirt sure made me appreciate all the years of having great big gorgeous gardens.

Although i was unable to plant a lot of veggies this season, I still enjoyed watching you alls gardens progress. Thanks for posting pictures.

Im over the cold weather already and it has just begun. Is it spring yet?

I know I should have taken more pictures, but I didn't. I must say this year was the most productive and easiest year yet. The square foot garden with mushroom compost is certainly the way to go. I had more bell peppers than I could handle and the plants were huge!! I also got a ton of beans (contender is a easy and quick bean) and the soy beans were awesome as well ( I need to plant closer next year). The tomato's are still producing and I got some pics of those. Thanks again Jaime, I am going to try and grow at least one of each seed you sent. It may take me 20 years, but it should be fun!

I have already started on my winter garden. It was 76 here on Saturday and I was afraid my lettuce would bolt. But it's doing good. I have some black seeded simpson, some soloist chinese cabbage, rocky top lettuce salad mix and some danver carrots. I must say these carrots are coming up waaaay quicker than before. I think that is due to using fresher seeds and carrot tape.

I'll get some new pics of it all. But again, SFG is the way to go!

Lastly, I should have a treat in the spring which I'll show you all. For now it's a secret.
