How does your garden grow?

Many of you have asked about our garden...well, actually only 1 person, but it sounded better the other way. So...by popular demand...I give you pictures of our garden.... Tomatoes on the left and in the foreground, onions right in from of them, beans on the right, peppers in the middle, potatoes in the back ...and Hootie standing guard. Hootie works very hard at keeping critters from slipping through the fence.


The zucchini's are coming along nicely too. Mom has already made 4 loaves of bread. ...and believe me they are yummmy!!!


The onions did very well this year....better than ever. We planted 3 varieties. Vadalia, Texas Sweet, and some other variety of sweet onion.


The tomatoes are doing well, but a little slower to ripen than in past years. Must have something to do with the dry weather. It's been very hot and humid this summer, but tomatoes love hot weather, so it must be that we just haven't watered them enough. Don't know if we'll have enough to can until early September, if at all.


Here's a close up view of Eric's potentially prize winning Jalapenos. I tried to get him to enter them in the County Fair. They were a sure winner. We thought they were just your average every day Jalapenos. But these dudes are huge!
