  4. You know, if you ever needed a few extra bucks, you could put start your own little farmer's market right in your own back yard. Wow. Totally impressive.

  6. Wow! Hmm I guess that says it all. No need to elaborate.

    I could complain a bit though. So I think I will. You stole all our sunshine and heat in June so your garden grew too much and mine too little. :> There now I feel better. But all kidding aside, good job!

  7. Daphne, I'd have been glad to send you some sun and heat and dry weather. In July, we had 10 days where the temp went over 100F, 13 days when it was over 90F, and only .08 inch of rain.

  8. Totally awesome Granny! My goodness I am so envious. I wish I harvested half the green beans you did!

  9. Scared? No way. Impressed? Oh yes...There's still lots of time to go yet. One thing's for sure, I sure have learned alot this year, and will have a better garden because of it.

  11. Congratulations on your bountiful harvest!! That is a lot of food.
    I bought a butternut squash today, I am going to try your recipe with the butter and brown sugar. Also saving the seeds.

  12. Your gardens look so stunning and orderly considering the time of year! That is strange about your jalapenos, maybe let them go to red and try again? The ones I let go to red are so hot even my husband tears up (he usually loves the pepper heat!). Yesterday I finally had to battle my squash bed to find my cucumbers, ugh! I think next time I may need to suit up...fighting through bees and itchy leaves...I need to trim those!

  13. Erin, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they get hotter with age. I need them for my hot pepper jelly! Of course, they are only 59-cents a pound at the store, so if push comes to shove.... ;-)

    I have to tackle some big pumpkin leaves, they are so ugly with mildew. I'm waiting for our cold spell though, it's supposed to be back in the 90s later this week.

  14. WOW! Truly impressive numbers! And I truly wish our temps would go down. Not holding my breath, though...

  15. Wow... that's A LOT OF PRODUCE! You definitely have a green thumb!

    Will your total reach 400 pounds? Grow pumpkins... grow!

    I found melon babies today!!! Yeah!!!

  16. SB, today was supposed to be our last 100 degree day of the year. I sure hope so. We're supposed to have a couple of days in the high 90s, then drop down into the 80s. Yay...I'll actually be able to get out and enjoy gardening again!

    Toni, I think I might. I'm getting 10-15 pounds of tomatoes most days, and the pumpkins and butternut squash should add a lot of weight. And my new zucchini plant is loaded!
