I love eating the best fruits and vegetables every year. I find gardening very relaxing and everyone is always very helpful to help you succeed. Anyone else demanding better produce from their land? By the way. I killed it with my sweet potatoes. About 300 pounds
We attempted a garden this past year and it was a disaster. Just so many weeds. Almost impossible to keep up. We got some carrots and a bit of Swiss chard but that’s about it. I think the other issue is that we planted our seeds too early. I think we will start them inside next year.
Looking forward to the winter.
Still have my sweet potato’s in the ground. Harvested tons of jalapeños and habanero peppers, but it’s just too hot here in the summer.
124 days over 90 degrees so far this year.
Tomatoes, Zucchini, hot and sweet peppers . Save your old coffee grounds as a partial fertilizer, along with mushroom compost etc.
I did not do a lot of fall garden this year. September was hot and very dry. Right now I have onions, carrots, asparagus, and cabbage growing. I harvested some carrots and cabbage yesterday. They are very tasty, the cabbages were 10 pounders.
The signs will be correct for making sour kraut in 2 weeks. Love me some home made kraut on my ruben.
number 1 Swiss chard is the easiest thing in the world to grow. put it in in mid spring, harvest outer leaves, will feed you till fall.#2. I grow hot peppers too got about 20 freezer bags to get me through winter [hopefully]. read about them, kill about 70 percent of badf bacteria in your system, very easy to grow from plant. no 3, pot guy. when it is legal to grow in NC [if ever], I will grow plants bigger then you!!!!! no 4, yes I compost everything including coffee grounds. I go as organic as I can and try to leave as small an imprint on this planet as I can, PS. compost blows away any plant food you can buy. I know this through years of experience. no 5. my fall gardens always suck, people tell me I start too late [early august) but my collard greens are sill to small and not growing. same as last two years.. love to hear from all of you. food is our life source. lets continue to take control.

Ha! What a great idea!
I used to do a large garden. I planted 2 rows of everything that I liked. My favorite to pick was okra because you don't have to bend over to cut those. For whatever cucumbers did the best, I was giving away 50 pounds of those away some weeks. I never had a watermelon or cantaloupe to make it for some reason. They would get about baseball size and then rot.
I never plan to do another garden, but eventually I may try a few fruit trees.
Fruit trees are alot of work. I have 6 apple trees 2 peach trees and a necteren tree. I have to spray every 2 weeks and only got 11 apples this year. And I have been taught by an old time orchard man. He keeps saying it takes 5 years before you start getting alot of fruit. I hope so cause I am close to giving up on them
