Well, it finally got hot so the low spot I plant in is now suitable. So, today I planted.

2 rows pink eye purple hull peas.

2 rows crowder peas.

2 rows lima beans.

2 rows ford hook beans (large lima or as the wife calls them butter beans).

2 rows colored limas....I'm not racist :-).

4 rows silver queen corn.

Tomorrow I plan to plant 2 rows of squash and one row of bell peppers and cayenne (SP?) peppers.

50 Tomatoes and a few cucumbers next week some time.

Out of the 100 total tomato seeds I started, 83 have sprouted.  That includes 51 of 50 Red Beefsteak tomato seeds. :???:  19 of 25 eggplant seeds.  (I'm gonna have a lot of eggplants.)  Only 2 of 25 Tequila Sunrise hot peppers.  But, since one Pakistani guy at work offered to pay me for hot peppers I grow, I've obtained Cayenne Golden seeds, Habanero seeds, and normal Spanish Cayenne pepper seeds.

Okay . . . I put in habanero seeds, zucchini seeds, cucumber plants, and Big Boy tomato plants in my plot over the last week.  I also put some Big Boy tomato plants, aong with some of the cucumber plants, into the Community Service plot in the garden.  Seeing that one of the eight red cabbage seeds sprouted, I'm going to have to get the hardier VRWC-hybrid red cabbage plants in this week.

I'm sure the SWAT team working for the US Dept of Agriculture is taking note of all this unregulated gardening goings on.

With all of the rain lately, I haven't had to water a thing.  I kinda like that!

'Course, now I'm singing a different tune (about watering and the rain), but I did get six straightneck summer squash out of the garden over the weekend.  My zukes are coming along, but for some strange reason, the ones I started from seed are doing a lot better than the ones that I bought as immature plants.  A couple of cukes, some tomatoes coming along, the Yukon Gold potaotes seem to have their foliage dying (should be ready to pick two weeks after that; have to set the skins on the potatoes); the Hot Portugal pappers I put in already had some peppers on them when I got them; the Cayenne peppers are coming along nicely; and things seem to be going along well otherwise.

Seems to be a good year for peppers. I made a few quarts of raspberry syrup yesterday and braided up my garlic.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Cayenne peppers : How big should I let them grow and what do I do with them after I gather them?

A fellow gave me the plants and I have no idea what to do with them.

I've eaten plenty of squash, put up 20+ quarts and given away a bunch. I'm beginning to tire of squash. :-)

Because we have a short growing season in Maine, i normally support Bonnie Plants in the garden center....Mother Nature is going thru Menopause I swear. One day it is cold and rainy, the next day, hot and broiling.

My mum has raised gardens with covers(lots of different veggies).lots of raspberries and blueberries. She has a major green thumb, I swear she could make a dead stick grow...
I helping her tomorrrow with her garden, since Deano passed, she is overwhelmed i think.....

She has some empty grass spots that need to be filled, so I bought some grass seed, top soil, organic hummus and manure at my Walmart. I actually went up to have my ears drained, and made sure the boys were behaving...

I will fill empty spots in those tomorrow for her.
I also bought some red and white geraniums to fill te whiskey barrel in front of my apt for the fourth....
which brings up a question about the American flag. I have the whiskey barrel, with a lamp post inside of it. I have a white trestle, that I want to hang the American Flag. Is it ok to hang the flag vertically as long as the stars or in the upper left corner?? I don't want anyone going into Heebiejeebies or get arrested..because of improper flag ettiquette..

How did you preserve the squash?

As for the cayennes, whatever you do, do not bite into one, unless you enjoy pain.  Wait until they turn red before you pick them.  Mega hot that way.  I've got a bunch of co-workers who like them.  One even left a cayenne in his car for a day, sitting out in the hot sun.  He had to drive home with his windows wide open, A/C on full blast, and his eyes were still running down his cheeks.  It'd be a heluva idea for a practical joke. :fuelfire:

I have about 15 or so jars of pickles.  Had a bad garden year otherwise....got some squash and beans at the beginning, but the soil apparently had a nitrogen deficiency, so not much else is growing now.   :bawl: 

The temps are doing their work to it too.

Parboil until soft (about half cooked or less) and then freeze in plastic bags.
