What did you do in the garden today?

Watered all the gardens except for what’s on the hill. I picked another 3/4 pound of green beans and some kale. I also picked more black raspberries. The SM tomato plants are looking like they're getting a second wind and growing much better. Total donation for food pantry was 3 dozen eggs, 1 1/2 pounds of green beans and 4 shallots I found after I finished braiding them together. Made a double batch of black raspberry jam. Ended up with 7 1/2 pint jars. Very tasty. Not quite as hot today but the humidity is very high so it feels hot anyway at 87F. I concur, a very bad year for tomatoes.

I couldn’t resist jar number 8. I didn’t process the half jar. I taste tested it on a slice of orange olive oil cake I made the day before yesterday. Quite a tasty combo.

I’m wondering how on earth is there a banana pepper in my bell pepper bed when all the seeds where bell pepper seeds…. I don’t eat banana peppers so a seed couldn’t of fallen in lol

I had a packet of bell pepper seeds come up as banana and cherry peppers.

Mine have just been being buried by the morning glory yuck

Morning glory, or bindweed? Bindweed looks like morning glory but is a real PITA.

I agree with the previous post that it was just accidentally included with the seeds you bought.

Don't go just by my experience with Black Krim. Some people have GREAT luck with them. Not I.

I had no luck with them but one of them made yellow fruits last year (a mutation? Or accidental inclusion in the seed packet??? Who knows.), so I saved seeds from that one and I'm growing them out this year to see what happens. I think tomatoes are picky about where they're growing, climate wise and soil wise. You just gotta find the ones that grow best in the unique conditions in your locale. IMHO.
