Nice harvest GG.
Thanks Larry! I was the one who bought the last of the chili peppers, sweet peppers and tomatillos when they went half price. Haven't seen onions since I bought mine the day the nursery opened.
Live and learn, I've been buying seeds @ 70% off for a good start next year. We are working on Dad's old chicken coop so we can get seeds started early, electric went in last week. Putting sky lights in today.
That stinks, but I guess you got it all under control for next year.
As if there are not enough curveballs mother nature throws at us through the gardening season, now this.
Hardly compensation for the work put into it, not to mention the cost of your materials. I think you need to convince them that they would like to come over next spring for a soil-moving party, PF.
I just read your posts to Himself, starting with the one about the cave-in. He said it's a good thing neither of you were standing there when it caved. Wow, that thought never crossed my mind. Scary...
We filled the kids wagon with onions and taters yesterday. Most of you probably seen the pictures i posted in another thread. We wont have anything else done for a while.
I'm always jealous of the southern states harvest and not jealous about yoursnakessnicketypoosna and spiders. .
It probably doesn't hurt that the last couple storms were frog-drowners.
Think I remember you saying a few days ago that you moved from California(?) to Arkansas to become a farmer. Was this troika arranged before the move? Is there a Barterer's Gazette where folks find each other?Today, 7 gallons of tomatoes, 2 gallons of various peppers and, 1 gallon of cucumbers. Yesterday, 5 gallons of grapes and 2 of summer squash. Day before 5 gallons of green beans and, 100 lbs of potatoes.
Yes I have a huge garden (2 plots) but, it is a share cropped garden so, there are two other families that get some of the harvest as well. They provide seeds or plants and fertilizer if needed, we share the upkeep. I harvest and preserve the produce and, distribute it to them. We also share the fish we catch and, game we hunt as well as meat animals we raise and, eggs (only one of them has chickens) No money changes hands, but we all live and eat well on about 30.00 USD per week spent at the grocery store.
That's a good idea, Larry. I ought to do that, too.I also had an above average blueberry crop.
My cukes look like its going to be one of those, all at once harvests, then die off.
Some seasons Im picking them for weeks, other's i get them all in a matter of a week or two and thats all she wrote. Just started a second batch from seed so ill have a second harvest in a few months.
