let's see your veggie garden {pics} 2021-25

Now that the Tomatoes, Tobacco, and Milpa are in the field, the seedling focus turns to peppers. They are going to take over my back yard in some short rows using a Spanish trellis. This year we are going to try to do some isolation with some agribon to save seeds for some rare varieties that we've started to struggle to find quality seeds for at a reasonable price.

Some body likes tomatoes alot.

That's pretty wild, and I like it

 

[ProZachJ]

Love growing them, love eating them, and love giving them away, especially to people who have only eaten grocery store tomatoes and therefore think they don't like tomatoes.

Peppers preparing to take over my front yard.

Well, I guess I wasted my money planting apple and pear trees in the yard. The HOA landscapers planted Juniper trees all over the neighborhood and they are full of rust disease which have now infected my trees.

Tomatoes harvest has begun! A bit watery due to all the rain but still better than grocery store.

Nice haul! Do Texans eat fried green tomatoes?

Indeed

I always thought it was hilarious that peppers developed capsaicin as a defense mechanism to ward off predators by making it extremely painful to eat and humans were like, "dude you gotta try this, its the bomb"

We've had over 3 inches of rain over the past two weeks, and the garden has been loving it. Summer squash, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers etc. doing well. Corn and winter squash have been seeded and have spouted. The shade garden has especially enjoyed the rain. We harvested the garlic over the weekend (half of harvest in this pic) and they are curing in the garage. I made a loaf of garlic bread with a freshly pulled garlic head over the weekend that was delicious!

Last week's tomato and cucumbers harvest enabled us to donate 150lbs to the local food bank. Already another 12 crates sitting in my pantry waiting to go.

So far 275lbs of fresh maters have made their way to the local charities. Yesterday I took my share and made some big batches of catsup and marinara. I have another 150lbs in crates in the pantry!

Care to share your catsup recipe or is it a family secret?
