It is Mississippi pot roast and let the bell peppers turn red MATT listen to Sara she is always right great video
You inspired me to do a hoop house like yours! I am in zone 4b!
Good morning Matt and Sara ☀️. Great update on the garden….have a wonderful day 💞
Our tomatoes are getting yellowish… almost… good morning my amazing friends
I fought aphids on my green beans. So frustrating. I replanted 3 times. Along with soil drench and spraying need oil, I finally had success when I also placed ant traps around them. The heat slowed down my tomatoes too. It’s been a strange year. I think the peppers just loved the heat though.
I've heard that the Mississippi pot roast works excellent with beef or pork. The garden has been looking good all summer. Cucumber beetle. Have you considered moving your cucumbers so that you are not walking through them every time you walk in the garden? MiGardener says that the (curcubine?) attracts the beetles & that scent is released every time you touch or brush your plants. Also, harvest in the late evening when the beetles are less active. It would be interesting to see next year if planting them in a different location would help. Blessings friends! 💚🌞
Good Morning! Love seeing your garden. I'm just 40 miles or so from you, south on Hwy 212. I have lots of green tomatoes on my vines but none are ripening yet. I will also be making pickles today! Have a great day!
Planted 15 beans gotten 's got 7 plants hopefully I'll get some beans on this planting first one nothing
Nice tour. I'm over in Wisconsin, east of the Twin Cities. Our tomatoes are coming in like gang busters. How much more north are you? I also planted a Roma variety that is huge! I've been freezing them until I get enough to can. Blessings to you and yours!
We have tons of cherry tomatoes I have been dehydrating. The big tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Have a great day.
Bald, is always hot 🥵 and sweat runs down your head everywhere, I get ya buddy.😅 Stuffed bellpepper😋looks like your dog stole a cucumber.🤨Ty for sharing your family time, Blessed Days…
I can't believe your kids can walk on the woodchips barefoot!! LOL! And, yeah, isn't that weird about the milkweed?! There are some growing in the neighbors garden behind me. They are covered in black ants and actually (house) flies. Usually I see a bunch of beetles on them. Haven't seen them yet. I hope you get rid of your aphids. I'm dealing with houseplants with them. Your garden looks great!
i am in zone 4b for us it has been a tough year. it seems like everything is stunted.
