Do you take before and after pictures with your garden?

Oh no! That's a lot of tomatoes. Bummer.

 

Wife usually cans 75-100 qts of tomatoes a season not this year hope the deer enjoyed the feast. hough I can'
t blame them the development has real reduced their habitat I do have a feeder for them

 

@johnbb It's amazing that your wife cans so many tomatoes. Those darn deer! I have to admit that I don't miss them out here, but wild pigs do run rampant here.

 

Wild pigs can be even more destructive digging everything up --Here in SC wild pigs are a big problem for farmers We in SC can hunt them year round

 

They are basically bulldozers with an insatiable taste for sweet potatoes and pineapples.

 

I bet they taste good on a diet of sweet potatoes and pineapple

 

Yes! Everything out here tastes so delicious and like a delicacy. Even the Red Jungle Fowl Chickens don't taste like ordinary chicken. They are super tender and more like quail.

 

Peppers are doing great this year!

Everything else did not appreciate the drought, but I'm so glad that the peppers didn't mind. Sadly, there will be no binge eating for me. LOL.

This summer we planted a brand new 3 sisters garden at the front of the property. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does.

 

Waiting on my peanuts should be ready end of next month

 

Are your microgreens spicy? I had radish microgreens a little while ago and they are so good (and so spicy)!

 

This may seem like the opposite of progress, but I really wanted to remove this tree since it's so close to the house. The storm granted my wish and did no damage.

Thank goodness the house and my renter were fine and the power and Internet stayed on.

 

Does this qualify as before and after?



and now the after:
6 Pint Jars of Cowboy candy (sweet jalapeno)
11 Pint Jars of jalapeno
4 Pint jars of smoked salsa
7 half Pints of jalapeno jelly
And the rest of the jalapeno's are going to go in to the freeze dryer to make some jalapeno powder.

 

This is incredible! I'm so impressed with your peppers and all of these beautiful jars. Thanks for sharing!

 

More pepper progress! It's hard to believe that this is the same garden!

I also chopped my hair before my birthday because I was getting tired of waking up with dreadlocks and taking forever to detangle them.

These are such beautiful, healthy peppers!
I feel your pain when it comes to the cayenne peppers. I've learned that lesson with the Hawaiian Chilis more times than I'd like to admit. How did your apples do this year?

 

some types were good (King) but the smaller ones missed the weather , cold spring and wet. last great harvest was 2021
