Howdy from Tennessee. The gardening is coming along well. Mild temps and some rain with loads of mosquitoes thrown in to the mix. Put up a couple more batches of pickles and relish. Tomatoes are on the vine-still green. The hybrids are doing well-the heirlooms not so much.

Going to plant some bush beans soon. We’ve had better luck growing them on the back end of the season than the beginning when the bugs are worse. Our season lasts until mid to late October. Lots more time.

Appreciate the info on stuffing peppers and growing paprika and planting carrots. Very, very helpful info.
Happy gardening everyone!!

Thanks for the picture of the rose.LOL Our heirlooms are doing well this year, if we could just keep the critters from harvesting them.

Usually we can pick them right after they get a little blush, but for some reason they are being taken and eaten while still very green this year.

We have had no luck catching any in the live traps either. I am thinking that they have wised up to the produce in the cages.
