How Does Your Garden Grow??????

We did practice on a few of the others while waiting on the Hatch to get ready. Making sure the peppers are dry before roasting is key. If it looks like you are burning them, you are doing it right.
I've purchased roasted Hatch chiles from a company called 505 Southwestern (I think?). One of my favorite toppings for scrambled eggs or inside a quesadilla.

So far the only cooking I've done with them is a couple of green ones in a stir-fry.

I did eat most of a red one in the garden today. It didn't get hot until I got hold of a seed. In fact it tasted a lot like a bell until the hot started.

About two months ago I had started calling the mushroom farm about buying compost. Each time I got voice mail. Every two weeks or so I would call. On Tuesday as I'm shaking down my pack, they call and ask can they deliver after lunch. Two months of not returning calls, then bang, the damn shit gets delivered. $475 for a big dump-truck load. Forgot to ask how many yards it was.

I bet that is good stuff. I've used old fish out of the freezer before. If you can dig your hole deep enough for them not to get dug up, it makes great ferts. {always wait a few days after burying the fish before putting a plant in. Just in case you didn't bury them deep enough}

I bush hogged most of the garden today. Corn, okra, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes are all that I left, and the corn will be done by next week.
Are you starting anything new to go through fall into winter?

My tomatoes have all but run their course. I'll be finishing out the fruits that are currently on the plant, but I haven't been seeing new fruit set for a bit.

In addition to my new cuke starts, I planted some tomato seeds a couple days ago to give me some fall fruits. Doing a classic, Red Brandywine. Also started some orange cherry tomatoes called Toronjiña f1...I miss having a small garden muncher tomato, yellow pear has always been my go to, bit my plant didn't make it this year thanks to some nasty chickens.

I can't believe my cucumbers are still going strong. I'm picking them as fast as I can. They make better pickles when they are small. They really liked the couple doses of fertilizer I've given them. I'm going to give another light dose and see how long they keep going. I also yanked some radishes and carrots. The carrots are a short stubby variety. I have so many rocks that I have to grow a variety that doesn't grow too deep. Next year I'm going to dig deeper to remove more rocks and grow a variety that gets bigger.

Time to transplant the new round of cukes. For some reason, the two on the right, which are called H-19 Little Leaf, have been really slow to grow. They're gonna stay in the seedling pot a bit longer.

I'm planning on another pea patch, more cukes and maybe some sweet corn. Not sure if it will finish, but it blocks the view of my garden smoke spot.

And I will be doing greens and such for fall and winter.
