Still got some beans in the main garden.

Beyond the greenhouse are some potatoes and up on the hill are 6 fruit trees. 3 apple and a plum a nectarine and a apricot.

Thanks for looking!

That is a nice set up, I am surprised the deer did not mow everything down. My house in PA (Pike County) is over run with them. The only way I can grow veggies here in NY is to move all the plants into the fenced pool area. I like the greenhouse, does that give you extra grow time in the spring and fall?

We have a lot of deer around, but so far they haven’t bothered the flower beds too much. We do have a fence around the garden and electric fence around the fruit trees.

My wife loves growing things, so usually in February or so she starts seeds in the greenhouse and that is where most of our flower and veggie plants come from.

I ate my first ripe tomato today. Sweet 100, about the size of a marble. It was good, but I'm going to need a lot more than that to recoup my investments.

My Daughter has 1 plant . Some type of grape tomato . Wasn't doing much , so we decided to cut off all the lower " green " that didn't have any flowers . It took of after that , as much as one plant can do .
She's been picking 2 to 4 a day . Since it's not worth the chance to make a salad , she just snacks on them .

Yeah, I had a botany teacher in high school that taught that method. He said you had to scare the plant into thinking it's dying, so it'll put more energy into making fruit to reproduce. I've already trimmed them some.

Your garden and place looks great! We've had a few garden fresh maters, just canned 14 pints of green beans yesterday. Garden is doing great !
Those deer need to be marinated!

Thanks Ryan!

Some of them will be if I have any say in the matter! I usually shoot 2 or 3 a year!

My favorite is butterfly loin on the kettle grill! super good eating!

...
I grew red flames last year . Turned them all into powder .
I've picked one green bell this year , then it stalled . Now it has 3 on it , but not getting very big .
Jalapeno is loaded , as well as the Habs . I'm surprised how well it's all doing with this heat , and just being in pots .

The heat really stunted my garden and I've kept up with rain water and city water.
My goal with Cayenne is to make the dark or black powder that excludes the seeds.
