Just went out and harvested these this morning. Thinking about putting the carrots in a roast for supper.

How much are you guys with taller raised beds with tin on the sides watering your gardens with this heat? I can’t seem to find the happy spot they like and I’m currently watering every morning for 10 minutes in well draining composted material. Back when it was raining every day everything was very happy but I’m not sure if I need to cut the water back or add more to it now?

Well I have raised beds but I’m watering for one hour 3 times a week on my a drip system. You are better off completely saturating your soil deep 2-3 times a week versus light watering everyday.

I just changed the timer to water 3 times a week for a good soaking so I’ll try this and see how it works. All of the peppers are doing great but everything else has been struggling.

Think I might do the same. My stuff is starting to struggle and get a little yellow/orange on the bottom of the plants like they’re starting to die or fry up.

What is this? I’ve noticed it on my Roma Tomatoes but thought they were just getting too ripe in the heat but today found these 2 that just sprouted and they have the same thing.

I've been using roma the last decade or so, and I've been having various troubles with them the last few years. I personally think it's the quality of the seed Next year I'm going back to early girl and some kind of cherry tomatoes and maybe improved porters Bell peppers are iffy now as well, but the banana peppers keep on keeping on It's the seed IMO

I’ve grown them the last two years and have been very pleased with them. Plum Regal and Martinos romas have done well for me. Haven’t grown improved porter in a few years but that is a tough tomato to beat.

I’ve got okra coming out my ears and there’s only so much we can fry and eat. Any tips on preserving okra? Trying pickling some with water, vinegar, salt, sugar, dill, garlic and pepper corns. Any other recipes? Also our tomatoes became infested with these blister Beatles. We have harvested hundreds of tomatoes this year and canned a lot of them so I we decided to go ahead and pull them.

Winter gardens anyone?
We have broccoli, Brussels sprouts, garlic, carrots, kale, lettuce all up and going.
So far we have had a mild winter but I’m assuming we will need to cover if we dip down much below freezing?

Had a shipping week the week after from Dixiondale and never got an update. Called them this week and they said somehow my ship date got moved to Jan 4th. She said they were up to date on shipping and would get them out that day. Some computer mx up. No biggie.They were/are great to deal with.
