My wife says she's allergic to tomatoes. All I can say is she better get over right quick...this is picking from 2 1/2 rows.I still got 3 1/2 rows left to pick - so this isn't even 1/2 of them.

today we picked a few more bowls of cucumbers and okra. the wife is getting tired of making pickles. we have around 40 jars already. I'm tempted to let them all go and feed giant cucumbers to the chickens for the rest of the summer.

My cucumbers are on the down hill now thank God. Gonna pull them all up and plant shelling peas so they can climb the teepees. Son in law and I just taste tested hot fermented hot pickles, going to let them roll about 1 more week then can them in 1/2 gallon jars.

Hot spicy pickles sound absolutely delish! I need some too! Actually found some cucs in the garden today - they were hiding, but I found 'em. They're not picklers though.

first I want to say hi to both you @crealbilly and you too @Chic Rustler I've been gone a while and am slowly but surely catching up on all the older members and you new guys too. both of youall's gardens look really great.
all I did in my gardentoday was pour a concoction I made up for what is left of my goat savaged tomato plants. take about a quart of milk, crush up a bunch of egg shells, coffee grounds and bunny poo and mix it all together, let it set for a few days to brew and then pour it on the dirt around your tomato plants and water it in, good for what ails them. it has been to hot around here for them to set blooms but I'm hoping to encourage them for fall tomatos. gave a shot to the squash that's left too. the goats pulled up and ate all of my cucumber and pepper plants so I'm just going to let that go for this year. getting ready to do a little fall planting too. thanks for the concern over my dogs crealbilly. the young one is doing just fine but the old one still doesn't feel great. you can tell by how she acts, hopefully she will come out of it but she is 14 so it might take her a while.

Oh my God the whole house smells so good! If someone could bottle up the smell of cooking tomatoes and sell it as air freshener they could make a fortune. Just call it Country Kitchen, city folks would buy it up!
