Disfunction Junction Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'm a garden nut myself. The only thing I've had ripe yet is Melrose Peppers and Zuccini. I'm waiting on tomatoes, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, and squash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Can we do this again next year? Due to bad planning and circumstances, my garden got off to a SLOW start this year and I'm pretty much doing everything geared toward next year, when I plan to have a monster crop. Right now I have about 3 good tomato plants and some hot peppers, and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The days of a personal garden went by the wayside when the Blitz family chauffer service started up more than a few years ago. This service is dedicated soley to driving the Blitz children to the various events and currently there is one primary driver (me) and a secondary driver as needed (the wife). The thing I miss the most is the fresh tomatoes. At one point we had a pretty big garden and grew tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, green peppers, jalepeno peppers and okra. I also miss the home made salsa, pickles, pickled jalepenos and pickled okra. I still have a tiller sitting in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm a garden nut myself. The only thing I've had ripe yet is Melrose Peppers and Zuccini. I'm waiting on tomatoes, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, and squash. I have cauli, broccoli and sprouts. Already harvested the caulis and broccoli, less a couple, but sprouts won't be ready for picking until at least September - 120 day crop.

Footballjoe Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I planted tomatoes, bell peppers (3 colors), brocolli and a salad mixture. I have been eating tomatoes and peppers for a while now. The salad was good while it lasted but I have not been giving the garden the attention it needs. Main thing is I have the tomatoes. I usually plant eggplant, squash and cucumbers but did not get around to it this year. HAPPY EATING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
