What’s happening in the garden now? Well the weeds are in some spots as tall as my back! 2 weeks of no mowing or trimming and that’s how fast they grew. August is the time chiggars are in full force so I don’t dare go out into those weeds. I need to hire someone to help me mow.
As far as produce, I picked my 2nd box of pears, and that’s just grabbing the low-hanging-fruit. There are at least 2 more boxes out there but I will get them later.
I have picked TONS of cucumbers this year, but my beans have been sparse. Also I have picked tons of hot peppers.
Here is a good suggestion. Yellow banana peppers are EASY to grow, while green sweet peppers are more difficult; I am not sure why. Green peppers are so expensive in the store too! So I have found that yellow banana peppers can be substituted in recipes for green and you won’t know the difference!
