Did not do much in the garden today. Spent a good deal of time inside helping the wife roast peppers. Turned out pretty good. We did two bells, two jalapeno and two new mexico chili. We learned it is better to do all the same kind, so they don't get ready at different times.

I had gave away a Serrano Chili that was in a sunken pot. I replaced it in the line up with a Hab. Had to rob Peter to pay Paul when it came to soil mix, but I got enough to do both of the Habs. We have been calling the mushroom farm and have ask for the guy that delivers the compost to give us a call, but he hasn't yet. I have about a dozen mini sweet peppers that need tranplsnting, but I don't have the soil.

Is that some kind of mint, or maybe something in the mint family?

Regrowing from the roots sounds like a mint...I love them, but man talk about an invasive plant.

I was thinking someone gave it to me, but I did have some mint growing in the garden a few years ago. Everyone told me to get rid of it, or it would take over. I might have potted it up. I'll crush up a leaf and see.

At least I don't have to mow this part of the yard.



These giant pumpkins start out really yellow and then slowly fade into orange as they get bigger. I'll have to dig up last years photo's.



My little slice of the planet. Looking at my garden. It's sure nice standing in the shade under the awning I just built. Before you couldn't sit on the patio when the sun was out and it was over 90 degrees F like it is today. Please ignore the unfinished electrical work on the top left. The security light I bought at a local big box store broke when I went to install it. Made in China doesn't mean Made To Work.

I've recently ordered an all metal and waterproof light from a company manufacturing somewhere in the states. Tracking says it should be here Saturday.

Because of this thread and because of what Rodger said about Jobes tomato spikes being around forever, I found it usual that so many obviously skilled gardeners here have never tried it ?

.. so I bought them and I'm going to give them a try I put a link to a thread I made about them hoping to get input from people who have used them, they're coming Amazon Prime Saturday will put them in immediately and will update with pictures at the Jobes thread

i've never tried them because i like control, time released nutes kind of make me nervous. i'd try them in my garden, or in a house plant, and if i liked them there, i might try them in my weed, but to be honest, i probably wouldn't, just because i like to be in control of what they get, and when they get it

I hear that, I've always been kind of curious about them so time to give em' a try.. not much bad about them from what I could gather and two people told me they knew somebody who put them in pot plants and houseplants respectively, but still no one who's actually used them? ..so I'll give em a try out in the yard see what happens, I'm curious about things like this and once I get it in my mind I just got to do it or I'll keep wondering about it

I've used them with veggies before. I think I picked up a bunch of them at a thrift store. I can't really remember how they did.
