Morning all, I just started fall lettuce and radishes. Everything else starting to come in. We will have a bumper tomato harvest, mostly San Marzanos and Sabres. I have probably picked 3 gallons of shishito peppers by now. After planting we use Dr. Jim Z’s Chicken Soup for the Soil on everything. Chinese long beans just starting to form we will have a lot. Heading off soon for the historic village celebration today. Will be a docent focused on quilting and yoyo’s. And wearing my 6.00 pioneer dress. Expecting about 3000 in the village today.

ugh...my Asian long beans have done nothing....but the few Forex beans I am in love with and will plant only them from now on, preferably heirloom....

I was proud to raise almost all my tomatoes from seed but alas, I have serious blossom rot .....I've sprayed and I also mixed a slurry with lime and gave each plant a drink....I'm picking off the maters affected hoping that with these indeterminate plants I'll still get a good harvest...

leeks for the first time....my "accidental leaks", the ones I just basically thru in with the onions surprisingly grew nicely while my onions did terrible...I've got another batch that are looking good too...

I've got 5 half gallon fermented cukes on the counter and am drying a bunch of green peppers....

I too have planted some late sugar peas and bush beans and even a little more cukes.....why not?...sometimes Sept can be quite warm....
