What did you do in the garden today?

If you wait too long to harvest Asian eggplant varieties they get seedy and pithy. Every variety is a little different for length, color, etc.

Good morning all. Today looks like we may get showers on and off all day. I did some weeding after I fed the chickens. While I was weeding I had the sprinklers on the green beans to make sure they got a good drink after yesterday’s heat. I had planned to do some mowing and then weed whacking in the big garden. Oh well. All my recently started seeds are sprouting except one ancho chili and one jalapeño. I do have one of each already sprouting. I need to start the pumpkin plants and I may start some cucumbers.

Ok. I’m ready to try them so I may pick tomorrow and sautée

My first Butternut Squash flower bloomed! I only have male flowers growing on the plant right now so I let it bloom and didn't tie it up because it's pollen won't be viable by the time any female flowers are around.

To fix my male flower problem, I cut off maybe 8 male flowers because there are so many of them and 0 females. Hopefully that will direct the plant's energy from opening the male flowers to growing female flowers.

My first Mini Pointed Pepper flower bloomed as well! More of them will follow soon!

My war on the roly polies continues!

I have heard of people breading and frying squash blossoms

We’re having teaser thunderstorms now. Every time we think it’s ok to go outside and do some work we get rumbles of thunder. Wah!

FINALLY I located some Lemon Boy tomato plants and finished planting my tomatoes.
