The purple pea idea came from here, actually....a post about beautiful and rare veggies...

Tomatoes, Sweet 100's, Early Girl, Porter, and Roma
Cukes are Straight 8
Cubanelle peppers

If you don't mind my asking, how many tomato plants do u have? And how often do u harvest, daily or weekly?

Your tomatoes look awesome btw!!

About this time every year, you Texans start posting those kinds of pics. I think you are just taunting us Yankees, who have just recently gotten our tomatoes in the ground. It's not fair! Please be a little more considerate.

Thank you.

Jim -
that's how I feel about those florida folks posting it in December!
for heaven's sakes!

I harvested my very first cucumber this week and had it for a snack yesterday.
I have harvested 5 zuchini in total.
A handful of strawberries-never more then one at a time.

Until I saw this I was really excited about my 1st little yellow tomato flower :(

sjkly,
What kind of strawberries do you have? Our strawberries are done now. We had way too many this year; two rows of about 80 ft. If you want a couple thousand plants in the next spring please send me an email. I have Jewel.

BTW...We're up to about 30 zucchini and summer squash so far this year (3 plants) and wishing that cucumbers were ready.

I have Quinalts. I have most of them in a topsy turvey strawberry planter.
Then I have a small patch on the hill that I am hoping will take over the whole hill-of course they are a variety that doesn't put out many runners so it may be a slow process. Next spring I will need to put some June bearers on the hill to hopefully accomplish my goal of having strawberries as ground cover for that area.

How do you get the berries so big, mine are always so tiny!!!

I have been doing pretty good for a newbie because of the help that I have gotten from this website so thanks to everyone on all the forums for sharing knowledge.

These are a small patty pan squash, so cute, and my very first Sungold F1 tomatoes. I also found four Sungold Select II tomatoes that had colored, so I'll wait for all of them to ripen a little more on the counter before their initial taste-test.

There are still Fortex pole beans waiting to be picked today. From one 8-foot double row, I've gotten a gallon of them every other day for a week. There are a few Italian green beans waiting to be picked, too, not as many.

My cowpeas and limas haven't blossomed yet, so I guess they'll be along a little later, maybe with the main season tomatoes. There are several cucumber blossoms on the vines climbing up the trellis, so we should get cukes soon, too! Also peppers, which have babies on them now.

We've already eaten our strawberry crop, several zucchini squashes, two patty pans, and a lot of lettuce.

I'll set out the Emerald okra today, a bit late, but that won't matter with everything else that's coming in.
