Holy cow! I just looked in on your homepage and ... just wow! Your tomatoes and peppers are absolutely beautiful, as is the whole garden. Congrats, my FRiend.

I really appreciate the shoutout on your homepage too, I am humbled. I'd like to hear what you think of using the fabric now that you've experienced not weeding for a few months, and also anything you've learned that might be a tip for my own plot. How has the fabric held up? Are you planning your fall plantings yet?

I'm getting ready to put in some acorn and spaghetti squash and another little white pumpkin-looking squash that I can't remember the name. Going to do them on the cattle panels. This year instead of buying the broccoli and cauliflower plants in trays, I'm going to try to do them from seed. I also have several different types of herbs and peppers that I'm going to try from seed.

Hey guys!

Enjoyed the thread, just haven’t had time to answer.

Our garden is about done except for field peas and butterbeans which are jsut about ready, and peanuts.

Greenhouse is cranking up for fall. All I’ve done for the last couple of weeks is sow collards and broccoli and cabbage and collards and bak choi and collards and late herbs and did I mention collards? LOL We sell A LOT of collards.

And water. At least twice a day, sometimes three times. That time of year.

The figs we rooted in Dec/Jan are ready to sell and I ahve to move them so I’ll have room for collards.

Y’all have a great day/week!

This mornings harvest! Well, minus a few yellow pears and cherry tomatos...

We're having corn on the cob for lunch. Yum...
