Thanks guys... Looks more like what we called a truck garden when I was growing up. What's a truck garden? I'm guessing it's a garden big enough to sell produce off of a truck

So are you supposed to pull onions when the end tips turn brown or when they have completely fallen over and look almost dead?

So are you supposed to pull onions when the end tips turn brown or when they have completely fallen over and look almost dead? It's my understanding that they are still putting on rings as long as they are standing. I'll use what I need, but I leave them in the ground until the stalk falls over. They seem to keep longer in the ground, especially if it's dry. Same with potatoes. Also, you can Google truck farm, or garden. It's a small produce farm.

Dump cakes are easier. I made a couple today from my neighbor's peaches. I'm having some tonight with icecream. I'm not looking at that guy's thread about 1,000 calories.

Bluegoose,
How old are those blackberry plants?
Do you do a soil test for your garden?
Thanks

I don't understand planting and growing blackberries, when dewberries are free, but then again I've never tasted domestic blackberries.

You must all forgive me and my East Texas self. Everything around these parts is a "blackberry". I picked and used wild dewberries(thanks google) so BrandonA was correct.
Payne, I dont soil test my garden. I just fertilize everything with 10-20-10 once it hits a certain growth stage

Damn kev. Looks great! Alright so I had time to kill yesterday morning before a BBQ. I was watching mockingbirds fight over my baby tomatoes and decided to take action. Total investment was about 60 bucks including netting. After season it will be transformed into a run for a chicken coop. Took about 3-4 hrs including beer breaks And today's harvest. Fixing to be overrun

Anyone got a good way to put cabbage up? All of mine need to be pulled before they get any bigger or I am afraid they will be tough. Ussually make chow chow but have plenty left and not many green tomatoes anyway.

Gardens are looking good guys. Unfortunatly for me, work has me traveling all Summer and I only have the onions I planted early on. I gave all my plants I had away with the hope I can recieve a few maters and peppers when I am home. Im going to try a fall garden and see what it yields if I am back home by then. The grasshoppers are bad already here, it would have been a battle.

Ussually make chow chow but have plenty left and not many green tomatoes anyway. I've mentioned chow-chow several times on this forum over the years. I love it. I make mine with green tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and jalapenos. I add suger and salt, then bring it to a boil in vinegar. The jars always seal. You can add cabbage or squash to this recipe.

East, good looking bird cover!
I'm going to get a pressure cooker for canning from my grandmother this weekend and begin tinkering with canning. You guys have inspired me!
