Veggie Tales - January 2023
Comments (52)OK, so here is my 2023 tomato list. To answer Cindy's question, we get Black Krim and Cherokee Purple first and they taste best, then later we get Chocolate Stripes and they taste best. Last year Vinson Watts held on very late and then it tasted best. And we eat all of the rest of them whenever. After trying many others we only grow Sungold and Chocolate Cherry small ones and they are abundant. The 5 experimental ones at the bottom came from Tomato Jim Wyant this year...it was $17 but we can afford it if we cut back on something. A couple of those are supposed to be very early which I hope is good for our cool climate. We are about half way through last year's tomato sauce so should make it. This year I'm going to can some crushed tomatoes because they are so good in pasta sauce....See MoreVeggie Tales >>> May 2023
Comments (68)Jumping outside between the showers it looks like the peas have 1-2 more pickings before they're exhausted. 2 plantings of late corn will replace them along the trellis. The broccoli is also kaput now, and will compost their remains tomorrow. The remaining 4 purple cabbages are very close to harvest so that row will become free for some back-up watermelon plants. Looking a late season for melons this year. The squash is blooming now and the cukes are just starting to produce both male & female buds. The sweet potatoes are showing the beginnings of vines and the 2nd corn is 3" high now as the 1st corn hits the 18" mark. The bush beans are now blooming so we'll switch from shelling peas to snapping beans soon. The asst cantaloupes (Ambrosia, Sugar Cube, Honeydew, & Crenshaw) are faring better than the watermelons at this point but each are still in the pre-vining stage. The tomatoes are setting nicely and the peppers are starting to bloom as the 1 eggplant gets its act together. All Lettuces are still sweet too....can you tell it's still raining outside? ;-)...See MoreVeggie Tales >>> June 2023
Comments (84)The heat is now officially turned on here, humidity too + smoke. Looks like after today there's going to be a long stretch of 90's with spotty rain chances. Some more garden pics below from this morning...sure glad we got a ton tomatoes setting before this heat hits... One of my cheatin' tomato plants, have already picked 8 off of this one... One of the later tomato plants, most are loaded down, just a wild carrot/bloom mixed in... Some typical jalapeno peppers for the next batch of chili..... Some yellow summer squash......See MoreVeggie Tales >>> August 2023
Comments (44)Greetings from the Northwest! My bride and I just returned from San Diego (together with a side trip to Tijuana for dental work). As usual after a trip the garden was a jungle but things mostly did well. After a long dry spell is starting to rain a bit here which is welcome and more like usual. There is about 35 lb of tomatoes in the freezer harvested while we were gone, mostly from the hoop house. Like Cindy my outside tomatoes are just beginning to bear. The peppers are amazing! Plants are covered and we will be making salsa this week. Beans are late too, we have been eating the bush beans as fast as they grow. I pulled those when we got back and the pole beans on the trellises are just forming the first beans now. So far I have two nice Cinderella pumpkins. The one sitting on the gray board is up on top of a Laurel hedge, where the pumpkin vine just grew up through the hedge and spread out on top. Sadly I lost all of my favorite winter squash, although we have plenty of trombocino and can let some of them stay on to become winter squash....See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
