Looks like my computer is back up this morning after numerous crashes, yesterday. A replacement is on the way!

Anyhow, just a ‘garden chat post’ this morning...trying to get this posted before the next crash! :)

Hi Up for a few. Day 4 no power, forecast is for 11pm tonight but no one is believing it. Still way too many outages. Just turning on the generator when we need it, so limited internet time. More time for prayers, and freezing all these green beans. The chinese long ones. We have a ton. Greetings to all.

Sorry to hear, I need to replace my 12 year old Mac too. I’m 2 or 3 IOS updates behind because my machine is so old, hahaha, that it can’t handle the new stuff.

We had a great growing season at the coast, (8B-9a), just hoping to delay the blossom end rot we get whenever “Fogust” rolls in. The cold damp , 54 degrees here this morning, ocean fog that rolls in doesn’t do ripening tomatoes well.

I stupidly put a bunch of seeds in the ground yesterday forgetting about the Tropical Storm headed to my vicinity. Anyway there’s peanuts, corn, new peppers (old plants were worn out), tomatoes and some poppies raring to go for the fall garden. In two more weeks I’ll put in favas and potatoes. I also harvested some seeds for Saltmarsh Mallow bushes and Roselle and put in starter containers. I’mma give chamomile and calendula another shot after multiple failures. We’ll see what happens. Oh, and fall sunflowers too. Good luck with your fall garden!

Has anyone grown ‘bush’ cucumbers & if so, what was your experience?

After last year, when the vines died after producing 2 cukes & this year with weird stuff happening (cuke shape distorted, hard brown stuff on skin), plus the mess of vines/trellising & taking up valuable garden space, I am done growing cukes .... unless space saving bush cukes are a viable option.

Been quite busy, and have no pics ready, yet many toms has been picked, 1 delayed due to the wetting summer with the least sun (I think) in recorded history.
