I sliced and froze the green peppers and ran the others through the slicer on the food processor along with garlic and carrots and pickled fifteen pints last night.

I ganoushed a bunch of eggplant over the weekend and picked a bunch of wax peppers, I may pickle them later this week. Tomatoes are about done. LOTS of peppers to go, which is a good thing...
Time to think about planting peas, garlic, onions, and broccoli and stuff...
I have a ton of garlic already sprouting from sets I threw back in the ground when I harvested earlier this summer.
I'm kind of hit and miss with it too. If you stress it at all it tends to bolt like that, and store-bought plants are likely stressed from the get-go. I have pretty good luck with cauliflower for some reason.I've had little luck with broccoli, mine have never formed heads, just sparce clusters of buds. Know any tricks?
Broccoli is a water hog, never let it dry out. Everything on-line says full sun, my experience in the desert is morning sun afternoon shade even in cool weather. When I harvest the heads I leave the main plant and harvest the small clusters that form later. They are great raw in salads or cooked like broccoli rob.I've had little luck with broccoli, mine have never formed heads, just sparce clusters of buds. Know any tricks?

I've used that tactic with flowers, we mover perennials around like furniture until we find their happy spot or they land in the trash.I do keep everything well watered. I'm guessing to much sun is the issue. I don't have a good shady spot. Might just plant it all over and see if it likes a certain spot.

We have one corner of our garden that gets afternoon sun and it's tough to grow anything there. I'm thinking of rigging a shade cloth for it.
Nice Damascus knife.Last of the maters for a while. Sweet peppers are holding on...

Big Bro Rob, wondering if your cole crop is getting too much Nitrogen. Sometimes the extra N can blow up the growth of the foliage.
Interested in what type of garlic you are able to grow. I've tried almost every type I could get from Potatoe Garden--Hardnecks/softnecks-don't seem to be able to get any of it to grow here in So. Fla. Do you grow any of the Porcelains/rocamboles? I'd buy the stuff from you if you had enough--I have a ton of garlic already sprouting from sets I threw back in the ground when I harvested earlier this summer.
I grow Italian Purple Hard neck. I doubt that will help, the climate difference between NV and FL couldn't be more bipolar.Interested in what type of garlic you are able to grow.
