So, how is your vegetable garden doing this year?

[MoonShadows]

Lucky. I'm happy to be seeing blooms! Now, tomatoes irritate my lips for about an hour after I eat them fresh, but fresh tomatoes (especially from my garden) are one of my favorite foods...so I endure. Hope it never gets any worse.

For those of you that were having problems with your blueberry bushes, please come to southern Maryland and pick away! picking every other day and pulling about 4- 5lbs in an hour. Got 12 pints of jam done today from what I picked yesterday and will put up another batch of jam and 2-3 more batches of pie filling. 10-15lbs in freezer for winter baking and then the critters can have the rest! The yellow jackets are already starting to eat the berries so going to get hazardous to pick soon.

Wow.... This is my 1st year with my bushes producing fruit and didn't get many cause of the birds. Got netting for next year. Love my berries. Congrats on a great harvest.

Kale thief I guess it was good!

Got a couple of groundhogs as well. They have cleared out my bog, seems they love water celery. Relocated one and now another one is after the last of the blackberries and the blueberries!

I can't believe I can no longer eat zucchini, cucumbers or any other melons, seems I've developed a sudden allergy!
I thought I'd have a reaction to only store bought, blamed on whatever poisons they spray on, but turns out my own grown do me even worse
I don't get it! How can something so healthy for most, can be so bad for me to eat?

doctor apt?

Yours!!
If I were allergic to fruits and vegetables, well...
idk what I'd do (the ones that I grow and not store bought)...

Yesterday I inspected the Eggplants and found a couple of'em 5" long! Yum!

 

[mrsclem]

Been gone since Monday so I'm afraid as to what I will find when we get home tomorrow. Picked 3 dozen tomatoes and 7 quarts of blueberries before we left. Guessing I will be canning all weekend.

My eggplant plants are barely 10" high! My tomatoes look like green marbles and golf balls. Just a terrible season here.

Not from my garden but restaurant. Stuffed fried squash flowers, so good wish the season was longer for them.

I used to make fried zucchini flowers! I dipped them in some kind of milk and flour batter, fried them and then sprinkle a bit of sugar over it. A thing of the past now!
