Walmart does have Hatch chiles which I can't find anywhere else. Gonna give them a try this year.

A few more ] You can't really see the plants in the garden yet, will try to post pics in a month. We planted 3 varieties of tomatoes, jalapeņos, bells, habaneros, cukes, cantaloupe, cilantro, lettuce, sunflower and some other stuff that I forgot!

Thanks guys. Payne, that platform is for the sheep to jump on. All the windows on the coop are hinged, so when the yard birds get old enough, they can fly the coop during the day, but the sheep won't get into their coop because I don't have to open the gate. The coop leads to inside the barn (where I posted a pic of the chicks), so when it is really cold in the winter they can be draft free. Not too worried about draft right now. The stalls in the pics are actually divided, so the sheep can get out of the weather if needed, or to lamb. Small setup, but works for us. The only thing I can't control are the Mexican hawks stealing birds!

Great!!! My tomatoes are not quiet ready for more pictures. Maybe a couple more days. I'm now puttting the cages up. I love my garden, but putting the cages up is my worst choir.

After all this rain, I looked at my Tomatoes yesterday & I might have only lost one to that freeze last week. and that one will probably make it too, it will just be way behind, the other two I thought were gonners, are going to be fine. I'll try to remember to get some pictures this weekend.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

These are the only plants we plan on having this year,unless I can find something that will ripen as fast as these tomatoes.The son might wind up with some of these if they are late bloomers.The wife told me the deck needed to be bigger. The plant by the miracle grow is mint.

Planted my first garden as an adult on Monday. The rain beat it up pretty bad last night, but we will see how it goes. First year in the house, still getting things set up how I want, the garden next year will be much better, I just couldn't make a year with no home grown tomatoes.

It was late when I got home from therapy but I wanted to check my fruit trees.I haven't looked at them in a few days since it's been raining and sprinkling on and off and I was surprised to see little peaches.The more I looked the more little peaches I saw with these being the biggest ones.The sad part is i'm pulling all of them off since this tree was planted not too long ago and I want it to grow and develop a good root system.The others were in bloom but I think the frosts got the blooms but I was going to pull everything off the first year anyway.

Needed to lighten up today since we're in the waiting part. The greenhouse was too dark so I added some clear panels. Before Middle After
