Richard, that stuffed Jalapeno recipe sounds devine!
Do you dry your chillies whole?

Phred I totally understand about the dogs getting your bounty. Roxey and Bon love to eat the apples off our tree and Roxey loves the zucchini...imagine that. I never knew dogs like tomatos and zucchini

Do you dry your chillies whole?

Yes, whole and then I take the stem part off and grind them down.

DO NOT DO THIS IN AN enclosed space, do not get your face close to the cup, don't touch your eyes, mouth or nose afterwards.

Not responsible for damage or theft,or overnight parking?

Freedom, I finally got a picture of the gardening tool my husband uses.
Works like a charm he says.

Is it electric start?

I don't see the motor.

[Freedom]

Now THAT is one weird tool, lol. I've never seen anything like it, will have to look around some.

Thanks!

Here is my cooked zucchini:

[Daisy and Delilah]

WOW!! I'm impressed with all you gardeners. Awesome pictures. You guys keep up the good work!!

Nobody in Florida had any luck with zucchini this year for some reason. Beautiful plants and blooms. The zucchini would come on the vine and suddenly die. I don't know how many people told me that.

It is elektrik, but it's that funny kind that makes your toe tap when you hear a tune you like!

It's good for your heart, back, legs and you get some sun, too!

I wish I could send you my zucchini! I've been giving them away left and right.
And this is our newest find last night

We look in that garden every night...how do they hide and get that big?! (please ignore the mess in the background)
It's a very good thing that Roxey and Bon love zucchini

We have also finally gotten some red tomatoes and green beans.

Your garden looks great,plants look good enough to eat,hope the dogs stay out of it!

[anna_66]

hope the dogs stay out of it!

Yep, we have a fence around it or they wouldn't!

Alas, some of our garden is dying. The cucumbers are all gone as well as the snap peas. I'll miss them.

But now comes the fun part...canning green beans and tomatoes!

The beans taste oh so yummy canned.

It took me 5 hours to can 36 jars of tomatoes yesterday

I also made salsa...hope it's good!

Great garden! I love the herb garden too. I hope to have a flower, veggie and herb garden someday. We have a lot of work still to do in our yard. I would have one already except our soil is clay and too difficult for me to dig myself and my husband is too busy now to help. Being so inexperienced I know it will take some years to ge the hang of gardening. Right now I'm trying to be a better cook so I can do something with whatever I may grow. Anyway, I am very impressed with everything you guys have grown and made!

Anna, what a great garden!!!
You grow much of the same things my husband grows.
Your fried zucchini looks wonderful!
Have you ever tried zucchini puffs? How about oven-fried eggplant?

This year I've been experimenting by throwing diced zucchini, peppers, eggplant into the crock pot and adding different things like salad dressings for the "juice", or creamed soups, spaghetti sauce and macaroni. Everything has been different and good!

I myself do a bit of flower gardening although I must admit, since becoming a Philadelphia Phillies Phan, getting the computer, getting older and having 5 cats to care for...My flower gardening has taken a back seat.

It's time for a set of new garden stories.

I was doing some weeding and am going to clear out the stuff around my pepper plants.

I have cucumbers, dill, coriander and two kinds of tomato seed to start!

I am going to get more beets and radishes-those were my experiments last year!

ANyone with compost heap hints?

[Momto4FemaleFelines]

I wonder if we ought to start a new 2010 Gardening thread to make it easier to get to current posts? (just a suggestion)

I've started some cleaning up of the yard but I'm not very motivated this year. My crocus are blooming, tulips, daff's, and hyacinths are poking out of the ground.

My husband started his seeds in the cellar. He puts them on the heater for bottom heat to start then under a grow light til he can put them outside for a couple days of hardening up and finally into the garden. Quite a few of the seeds are up...tomatoes, peppers. I can't keep track of everything he plants. He burnt down the old asparagus growth the other day.

I'll be able to share pictures as the season really gets going.
