The G90 is a bit on the old side but the Peaches n Cream is $! Should have ripe full size maters this week now that we have the Army worm situation under control for a few weeks. Weird because they won't touch the cherry tomatoes and we have been in full harvest mode the last 2 weeks.
Myles was able to choose from 3 sunflowers and present at school.
Peppers are kicking ass in the hot weather, but the watermelons and pumpkins look to be a complete loss

@Sgt Fury I was impressed by how quickly our peach trees produced. They were left over Tractor Supply trees marked down to $15. I bought 4 thinking "even if one or two survive, maybe we have peaches in 5-10 years." Two survived. I think year one we had a few tiny peaches. By year three we had a respectable amount of small peaches. From then on it was impressive. I probably need to treat the scale on them and maybe even spray them next year.

Yup, peaches are pretty easy to grow. After 3 years in the ground, they are usually large enough to provide lots of peaches for years to come. I’m finding them a hell of a lot easier than growing apples.

Not many posts about canning those garden treats these days...........y'all ain't gettin prepared?!?!
Our beans didn't make it through the flood and we don't jar sweetcorn or maters. The cherries are producing strong everyday, and hoping to finally have a full size red one by this weekend
Our chickens ate from the garden more than we did this year. Other than pickles, I didn't do any canning. Froze some beans and corn, ate what we could, and fed the rest to the chickens. And that's a wrap...
I've still got beans and beans and more friggin' beans that I've ever seens. cannot give them away fast enough now. canned more than we need,, ate more than we wanted. tomatoes did well this year froze all we wanted, made a goodly amount of salsa, cukes died too late to replant, peppers off and on with all the wet, but have quiet a few now. winter squash and pumpkins now own the garden. Nancy started to clean up some of the finished tomato plants last weekend. it's pretty well over us besides the peppers and squash. we replanted lettuce and Arugula a couple of weeks ago, too. we won't put our garden to bed for the winter for another month or so.
Maters back in July-Sept would have been nice, but I'm not complaining of today's haul. With temps holding out for another week or so, I'm hoping for a few more of these harvest days to come in October.

I have been blessed with far more than I can consume. Still picking veggies and planting cover crops.
Its prep and seed starting time gents. Cleaning up the trays and bringing seeds in from the garage to see whats in the stash and what needs ordered.
Kenna just asked about the garden yesterday while we were kicking rotted turnips. I'm going to turn mine over and get some lime and horse manure down in the next few weeks. Looking forward to restarting the process!
