You gotta love July for the garden produce.

Just did a little picking myself....

Alright, Glue those green bell peppers back on. I like them when they are ripe. Red, Yellow, Orange or white. Much sweeter.


Your harvest looks good

Agreed....but these ones were destined for a batch of my wife's green pepper jelly. I'm pretty excited about the giant jalapenos though...always only grew the regular ones. The bigguns should be good for stuffing....

It all looks good! Ohio-tiller that is a lot of potatoes. I have been to busy to plant much of a veggie garden but next year I plan to. There are lots of fresh vegetables grown around me, and I even have been given some by my wonderful neighbors. But nevertheless I am green with envy.

Nice melons!

Picked 26 gallons of these yesterday morning

and I am guessing around 40 tomatoes! 1 watermelon amd 2 cooking pumpkins!

Agreed - I always let them get their color. I often do the same with jalapenos - they get a bit hotter, but develop a sweetness to them as well. Green peppers of any sort seem to have a bitterness that just doesn't go over well with me. I'll use green jalapenos for color contrast though.

Jay...I make my pepper jelley with red jalapenos and red bells (and dried apricots). Similar idea as the green jelly, I'd imagine, but with a little different taste.

Last time I had jalapeno jelly, it was like getting hit by a MACK truck.

Ohio Tiller, O'migosh, that is a lot of beans. Hope you had sale for them and didn't have to can them.

Tomatoes are winding down....including my "mystery potato leaf volunteer" (there's a thread about them on the tomato boards, here: https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/vi ... 78&t=54244

Anyway....just a couple pics....


some of the previously mentioned mystery potato leafs


and some cukes. The vines look like hell, with the vast majority of the leaves looking like some sort of shriveled up mummified mess. Still producing fruit though. I only had 4 plants total, and have gotten great production. I've done 2 big batches of pickles this year along with countless mater and cuke salads....

Nope only canned 26 quarts of this bunch and that did it for me on beans for the year. I gave the rest away to the folks at work and my neighbors. I have never sold a single thing from my gardens as of yet. The In-laws went up and picked 20 gallons yesterday and that’s still not the end of them in I say about 2 weeks I will have that many again. The beans have gone crazy this year!
