time to update this thread
the last posting was on 7/12......!!!
this year, i am having a "banner year" with my Italian Green peppers.
these are typically long, and thin walled, and as a result, if you stuff them, then bake'em, they bake up in less time than an ordinary red or green Bell pepper.
in the past, when i had grown these, they would only grow to a height of about 2 feet.
i would get "some" peppers, but not at all like this years harvesting.
this year, all i did different was add in peat moss, and 10-10-10 fertilizer that i get at a "feed and grain" store, for about 40¢ per pound. so i got up to 3.5 pounds this year.
i also use "Miracal Grow" as well..
so this year, all the plants have grown up to and just past 4 feet...!!!
this morning i harvested 6.5 pounds....
in the pic below, you will see where many do measure up to 8 inches.
i did also include a smaller sized, which is great for stuffing as well.
you will see in this first pic, how long they are and girth....
here is this mornings harvest.....

now, here is a pic of last years peppers, notice how much smaller in length and girth....but still quite tasty...!!

i am also having another great year for eggplant, and string beans, and this year i only have 2 tomato plants..
i have corn as well, it has grown taller than any other year, but i am not getting a good yield of corn..
i think next year, i will not plant corn, but knowing me...i may change my mind.....
so...how are your gardens doing..>????????
