The Brandywines are coming along and just now a few are beginning to ripen. The plant to the right is taller than me. I'm 5'3".
The Amish paste have been coming on gradually and as they are I have been drying them. They are growing in clusters like grapes. Lots coming on for canning!
The Cherokee Purple were the first to ripen so we have been enjoying those a lot. There will most definitely be no shortage of tomatoes around here!
The Hungarian peppers are doing great as usual. However this year my other peppers (sweet and hot) have had problems with the blossoms and leaves falling off and little if any fruit production. Others I have spoken with have had similar problems, so the weather may factor in a lot.
The Marglobe tomatoes are coming along nicely, also.
Bush Queen Acorn squash. I usually plant Butternut, but Coop likes acorn the best so this year we decided to go with that variety as well as a few unique varieties such as Guatemalan Blue and Potimaron. These Bush Queen really do grow in nice bush like formation.
The volunteer polyheaded sunflowers grew to over 10" this year!
There's definitely a lot more going on than what I've shown here, but wanted to share with you some features from the main garden.
We have the same problem with our Peppers.
ReplyDeleteThat sunflower is cool!!
Thanks for sharing the pics of your garden. Oh how I would love to spend a day with you!
Hi Carolyn - It looks like some of my peppers are now blossoming again and I might get a few before the season is over. Gosh I hope so!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a day together sounds like fun! : )
