I dug up "Spudzilla" today, it weighs in at over 20 ozs. I think it had just eaten something.

I think it ate the rest of your potatoes.

It's been hotter here longer. We've got great looking tomato plants, just no tomatoes. Got a few cucumbers, a single cantalope. Never got many strawberries, had a few peas. Don't think the carrots made it, I know the potatoes didn't.

Our garden is much smaller, 5x12 raised bed and two whiskey barrels. One barrel had potatoes, the other has the blackberry bush. not many blackberries either.

Found this giant pepper today among the others. Picked two and and half gallons of green beans too before I succumed to the heat and ducked into the house.

Your garden is hooking you up!

I was pretty proud of myself until I talked to my sister in law today. The girl she buys eggs from had dug 1,000 pounds of potatoes this past week.

She must be farming for a living yes?

[freshtiva]

Yes, sounds like a commercial venture to me as well. That or she has a BIG family.

Looking good guys. It was so freaking wet here this spring, that I couldn't even till my garden plot until almost June. So far, it looks like all I'm accomplishing is keeping the deer fed.

But, I figure that will pay off in November. :mrgreen:

When deer season opens ?

[batstiva]

When deer season opens ?

Correct, as usual. For firearms anyway. Bow season opens in October. But you get the idea.

I dug up five gallons (32 lbs. ) of taters today. It was an area approx. four foot by six foot. Dug up five gallons of onions and another two and a half gallons of green beans yesterday. All 100% organic. Just about got the freezer topped off.
