Welcome and make yourself at home here.

I walked through the fall tomatoes and decided to pull and burn them. They are full of disease. Same with the bell peppers.

I picked the okra and some eggplant before lunch. Need to spray the field peas with some neem oil to rid them of aphids but not in the rain.

Cost a small fortune now to stuff that one with lean ground beef.

I think the okra will wait until tomorrow. The heat right now will suck the wind out of man or beast outside.

I won't be doing much today in the garden. Yesterday afternoon we got an unexpected wind and rain storm. One minute while in route home we got a few small drops on the windshield of or vehicle and without hardly a cloud a round and we dismissed it and 10 miles closer to home it was raining so...

Two more hours of pumping water and the entire fall garden will have been watered along with what is still producing in the spring garden. Picking enough okra for two meals or more a week on just a few plants. Keeping it watered has made a big difference.

I am very thankful to have a deep well that while limited I still can water over all that I need to.

I finished watering the fall garden area and and still watering the okra. The okra needs another hour of water and I'm done watering until I start watering the sweet potatoes, peppers and eggplant in the morning. It's hot dusty dry here now. Full drought conditions.

It's been to hot outside for me by 3 hours after daylight until well past dark.

I picked our okra. I didn't plant a lot this year and it is just starting to come in. I got enough for a big pot of okra, tomatoes, & onion with some bacon in it.

Preparing for a long hard winter

Part of one picking of our Poblano and Jalapeno peppers

Thank You

That photo was taken in a 3+ acre field in TN that was planted just to attract Monarch butterflies. This was the first year it bloomed. Lots of all kinds of pollinators came but not a single Monarch to be seen that first year. I never got a chance to go back the next year or afterwards as we...

Planning on putting in a Muscadine Vineyard along with some thornless blackberries.

Summer peas grown in Southern Alabama. So far we have nearly a years supply now in the freezer with yet more to be planted if the weather will cooperate. Here is a story of this in photos. This garden plot was sod before we started. The site was tilled and made planting possible with nothing but...

I finally got my 3.5 gallon stainless steel sprayer that will not wear out the first week I use it. Our beans, tomatoes, and sweet corn have been and still are being eaten alive. Buts have been getting better fed than we have.

Thank You.
