2020 gardens......

[glenn57]

No apple talk from me. I get mine from people giving them away.

Only thing left in my garden are tomatoes and a bumper crop of carrots. And those tomatoes are going to get worked over tomorrow. Make juice out of the small ripe ones, and pickling, canning a bunch of green ones

I see FF in Alex had quart canning jars with lids for $8.99 today...

meh, them nice new shiny rings are for wet behind the ears, rookie canners. Rusty looking rings show a sign of years if expertise and skill.

Wasted some time today picking apples. I have to say the apples on my Cortland tree are particularly impressive this year. Makes the Warden smile when she gets to peel nice large blemish free apples.
 I bought myself a present a few weeks ago for picking our apples and pears. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M2CMURJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Kind of spendy but it is a joy to use, much better than my other apple picker.

Pulled the cuke plants today.....I only have one ghost chilli plant left in the ground.

[Dotch]

Cukes are waning here. Still a few on the vines yet & with the warm weather next week that'll probably be it. Was just nice to have some again after a couple years without.

I could see glenn wanting to borrow that unit roony when he goes to the strip clubs!

what makes you think I already don't!!!

[Bobberineyes]

Everything has really slowed down think I'll pull what's left this weekend.  I'll try the garage trick on all the green tomatoes , some big green bells might just get cut open and some scrambled eggs added to it. The smaller jalapenos will get put in tge dehydrator with all the mexi bells and serranos for seasoning.  Still several squash tho, the green ones will probably get cut up and froze for soups. Been a good year!

This pic is a few years old, my son was and is 6'4" tall. Mostly just experimenting with posting with a photo

[glenn57]

Holy moly rocky. Thems some tall plants. all that  Dotch spreads around the countryside sure helps.

[LPS]

What are those plants?

[glenn57]

Looks like tomatoes in the lower right corner.

[LPS]

Must be some hybrid Pot plants.   

[roony]

As Dotch can attest, I use to be pretty serious about my tomatoes. The varieties are all heirloom meaning mostly that they're not hybrid. I use to plant them in  6' by 6' grid and they pretty much filled right in. I would put them out early and protect them. A tomato plant will double in size every 21 days.
This year I only had 5 plants and they are barely 6 feet tall.

Supposed to freeze next week.....time to pick the rest of the tomatoes and peppers. Time for green tomato salsa.
