“Here’s a link to eating some of the veggies that we grow on here.”

I read that thread not long after it was on FR and didn't comment. To my knowledge, I've never had kale. The rest I eat. I grew up on fried okra, we always had that in the garden.

Checked the garden this morning, and the tall Homemade Pickles cucumber plant that is two feet tall, has blooms on it this morning. I have other Homemade Pickles plants and they look good, were planted after the tall one due to the Jiffy ones not coming up and having to start over.

The small National Pickles cucumber plant has two blooms on it this morning. Think that plant is a fluke because it's no more than 4 inches tall and not great looking and wilted after that last cold, then sort of recovered. It has guts to insist on blooming being that small.

Strawberries are doing great to keep turning red.

rightly, I admire your tomato plants - wish mine looked that good which they don't.

The Snowbird Pea has more pods on it than the Masterpiece Pea but they are still in the process of growing/producing. The Peas In A Pot is not doing as well as those. By the time this growing season is over, I'll know which plants to stick with for next year and plant enough of them to supply what I want.

I found the thread early myself but didn’t comment either.

Sounds like your farm is going strong.

Thanks for the kind words on the maters.
