Hi all I've been slowly getting in the garden while recuperating from a knee replacement. Garden is about 1/2 planted but at least we will have one. Getting good growth and abundant fruit from a totem tomato plant, a variety we have not tried before. It in a huge pot. Very compact and loaded with tomatoes. Also tried a new pepper. We could never get California wonders to do much and we like red peppers. Found a new one, Burpee Costa Rican Sweet Pepper F1. Large size horn like peppers and the one plant is loaded and still blossoming. I've not posted this season but lurking, love seeing all the pictures too.

Tubebender, I'm looking forward to your garlic harvest photos.

I love the red peppers too. Nearly always leave a bunch of the cal wonders on the plant to turn red. We have grown several different types, but I can’t recall exactly.

I have an Italian, Jimmy Nardello? which I haven’t planted yet, and really need to get a few started, so that I have one or two to dig up and bring in the house for the winter garden. I’m not sure how many Hubby planted, and not sure which kind.

BAD NEWS… My garlic came down with rust this year and severely stunted the crop. I can post photos from years past if you are in a desperate condition???
