Everything is putting out except the hot peppers. Picked up a handful of more zucchini and cucumber plants for the side hill where I planted the pumpkins.

How's everyone else's gardens doing?

My garlic's about ready to pull. Cut off the last of the garlic scapes yesterday. Grilled up a few of them for dinner last night, plus a few extra to put into some hummus I've yet to make.

Cut down my mustard greens plant. I like wilted greens on occassion, but those plants produce way too much for me to eat. So into the compost pile it went.

My plants all have flowers on them, hoping to see something sprouting soon.

Cleaned up the garden today. thinned out the mater plants, cutting off all the sucker branches. Found lots of small tomatoes growing.

Dug up all my garlic. No real huge heads this year, but all 40+ heads developed nicely.

Now I have a 4x8' raised bed that's empty. Anyone have ideas of late season plants I could get going? Or should I just wait for fall and plant cooler temps plants?

Chainsaw13 · 08-02-2015, 07:32 PM

Did a little picking in the garden.

Heat has scorched most of mine. I am trying to water daily to at least keep the soil moist. Peppers are coming in and watermelons will be ready shortly.

Pulled the last of my plants and finally dug up my sunchoke plant. Holy crap that thing just kept on giving. Pulled most of the rest of my chiltepin peppers and the last few Serrano. Those I'm going to ferment and make into hot sauce.

Chainsaw13 · 10-25-2015, 12:42 PM

Peppers.

hudd · 10-25-2015, 03:56 PM

Grew orange habanero, cayenne, jalapeno, and ghost peppers this year. Critters ate my jalapeno plants. Cayennes did poorly. Ghost and habs done pretty well. Made hour sauce with some and drying the rest for powder. With all the rain early on this season it's lucky anything produced at all this year here.

8zeros · 06-30-2016, 11:54 PM

I've been busy. Not growing a lot this year. Lots of room, too much, not enough time. I was real late. I just planted a few tomatoes, cukes, peppers, beans, squash, melons. No corn or punkins.
Anyone else? I'm not talkin about your "medicine".

hudd · 07-01-2016, 12:16 AM

Put out habanero, jolokia, and cayenne plants this year to make hot sauce with. Really hope the cayenne's do well this year. Got a recipe I come up with that makes a really tasty sauce.

I did a fermented hot sauce with Serrano and chiltepin from my garden last year. Crazy good. And pretty easy. Unfortunately no garden this year. Need the space temporarily for a new garage.

Mr B are the cukes curling?

Dave128 · 09-06-2016, 08:52 AM

I only have a small area for planting so just did some tomatoes, eggplant and hot peppers this year. All of my hot pepper plants got eaten to the ground by a mole (I suspect), my tomatoes are OK, but seem to be rotting on the vine before they ripen and my eggplant are coming along slowly. Overall, not a great season for me. Oh yeah, I have a raised box for herbs that did pretty well. So there's that.

Chainsaw13 · 07-30-2022, 02:28 PM

Did some breaking down of one of my two 4x8 planters. Both squash plants were way overgrown. Still producing, but I can only eat so much as well as my neighbors. Did pull a 6.5lb zucchini which is currently sliced up and dehydrating. Now my serrano plants have room to grow.

Thanks for the thread revive Bob. Once we own some dirt again a garden is on the first page of things to do. Love any and all pics and tips

I need to get my photo server back up and running. This year has been amazing so far.

Well, it looks like my old pics server is already working. That was from ten years ago. It's still about the same.

Impressive,

RobR1205 · 08-02-2022, 12:14 AM

Working on a container garden of lots of ridiculously hot chili varieties. Got ‘em all in five gallon pots on my porch to help give them a fighting chance against this summers brutal weather.

Axeman · 08-02-2022, 02:46 PM

I love ghost, scorpion, Caribbean reds, Habs!
Tough for me to grow them. Those super hot are hard for me to eat. Anything less is not. I let my wife decide how spicy to make food.
