Morning hike out to the veg garden.





Some green peppers will be ready for picking when Carol gets home.



We are gonna have sooooo many tomatoes.



Let 'em go to seed ... again. DANG!



No reason to let perfectly worn out motorbike tire go to waste! Buddy understands significance of background.



Carol has tomatoes growing in the veg garden, in pots, in flower garden, etc.. Basically, everywhere.



Calla Lilies doing well this year.




There's potted flowers all over the deck and patio.


Gardening is activity Carol and I share interest in. So we keep working at it a bit each year. The pictures you fellas have posted are incentive for us to keep at it.

Pulled everything up in my garden. It's too hot to grow anything and I've already picked the blueberries, peaches, collards swiss chard, tomatoes, chiles, green beans and zuchinni. Also yanked the Chaote up, have enough to last me till next year. And it got too hot for my oyster mushrooms, too. I'll wait a few months then replant tomatoes, collards, green beans and corn. Just picked a bunch of black berrys and Conquistidor wine grapes and waiting for the Muscadine grapes that I'll pick in September. picking pineapples daily and the lemon and papaya trees are loaded.

After I took out my corn patch I decided to plant a couple of rows of okra so I could pickle some later in the year. I had a real nice stand yesterday but a rabbit or a deer made a pass through the garden last night and got most of my small okra plants. So much for pickled okra.

The kids got me the rotating composter last year for me birthday. Carol has been wanting one for years. Actually, I have continued my compost pile which is out of camera range.
I prefer the pile because stuff turns to black gold faster. Though it does require more work.

Eric, what a SHAME!

You guys are making me jealous. I don't have enough sun to do a vegetable garden. Thought about clearing out some trees in one spot that's got potential.  )W(

Well I've been as busy as a one arm flintknapper. :KN  But doing other things.
I can't help myself. I keep going back over the thread not so much to see the
 vegies and fruits, but the amazing artistry and color you all have shared here.
 Upstate you will find a way.
Perhaps the roof >:D like they do downstate. ;)

Didn't bother planting a garden this year, just too wet and cold up her this year and we're only now starting to get consistent temps above 70 with Sun.  I was going to try planting something in July but changed my mind

I only have 6 plants out myself. 4 Hungarian wax peppers and 2 chocolate Moruga scorpions. I had many more started but I killed ended up killing them early on. Otherwise I would have a few Peter peppers too. But they're starting to produce with nothing quite harvestable yet. It's looking like I'll have a good harvest of wax and scorpion peppers this year. The plants are loaded with dozens of little fruits like this one.
