Is that a "snowy" eggplant? I'm trying one of those this year, it's my weird plant. I always try to do at least one weird something every year.

Your garden looks a lot cleaner than mine. I was gone for a week babysitting grandkids and we've had just enough rain when I was here that I can't get out there to do anything. it's nothing like that deadly rain further south, I don't wan to give the wrong impression, but 1/2" one day, 1/3" another. Everything is growing great, especially the grass and weeds.

Tomorrow is dedicated to picking my green peas for the freezer, Tuesday will be making sauerkraut. I'm hoping after that to be able to get in there and mulch and weed. It's supposedly quit raining for a week.

@Ridgerunner speaking of peas heres the first picking....

that is a "clara" eggplant from johnnys seeds.. very good producer...
dw wanted peppers for the chicken tonight... so she picked the 2 biggest...

yes there are parts of the country that has had their share of treble storms...usually this time of the year we are having farmers rain, not this year 1/2-1" storms...looked at the 10 day looks like we might be drying out a bit.. but looked at the radar we have another band of red handing this way so figured i better get out there and plant the corn, and bird proof it...

 

[Nyboy]

Bet the yankees become your favorite pepper

You have such a beautiful garden Major, but you are clearly a terrible influence on your wife. Now you've got her out there ...doing - that...

 

[majorcatfish]
