WOW! Your garden production always is impressive! I just bought some vanilla ice-cream...I can swing by for some peach cobbler! ;-P

Everything looks so happy and healthy and are clearly rewarding you for your care and labor very well. It's so fun to enjoy veggies and fruit from your own efforts.

What is the name of your cantelope? I have a very small yard and have never been able to grow cantelope or watermelon due to their space requirements. You said you trellis yours? I'd love to try out that species as it sounds like it would work in my tiny yard.

Great photos. Thanks for posting!

This just makes me want a peach tree even more! What a fantastic harvest! And the rest of your plants and garden are wonderful as well.

So inspirational to see such success. Thanks for the photos.

I have one peach and one nectarine that have blossomed but not given fruit yet. Hoping next year is the one :-)

Felix (helloooo)
what is the name of that cute sweet little yellow pepper? I want it in my garden too.

I am growing some "fish pepper" from seeds from a GW'r but they are not doing much, no signs of the variegated foliage. Wondering if the whitefly has gotten to them.

Denise

Michael, great looking peach harvest and all the other plants. I remember those beautiful roses when we were there at your home.
Cachucha pepper is what I gave you. Mine are green then
turn red as they mature. These may not be from my seeds.
I'm a little confuse here.
Denice,get some seeds from Michael and let it happen.

Felix

That peach pie looks scrumptious!! The rest looks great also. I love the Tabasco peppers, looks really cool, is that a Home depot/Lowe's plant? I might try to grow that one...Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures!!

Oh, wow, Michael! Great stuff! Those peaches look amazing. They look so naturally ripe...not like the ones at publix that have been in a cold truck for days, after being picked way before their time.

Thanks for putting in some ornamentals too! Your bed is looking quite nice and colorful. Those gloriosa lilies caught my eye. I wish I could grow agastache down here. I've killed it twice now, and I don't think I'll try again.

BTW, peach pie is one of my all-time favorite foods... and that one looks amazing. Did you make that yourself?

I wanted to let you know I've enjoyed the turnips you recommended (?turkey cross). I am still harvesting them (some in the oven right now), and had nice success with them. My sweet treat carrots are not yet ready, but I may pluck one soon to see. Recently made some fresh basil pesto from the garden, which turned out really well. All you veggie gardeners are such an inspiration to me. Next fall I am going to branch out and try different stuff that you all are growing. That canteloupe in a pot, with a trellis, sounds very appealing to me. Right now I'm enjoying the Florida grown Athena melons in season. You keep me thinking about the possibilities! Thanks.

Boy, everything is so lovely, but I couldn't take my eyes off that peach pie!! I hope it tasted as good as it looked. Congratulations on such a nice peach harvest even with all the competition from the critters.

Very nice Michael, wish I had room for a peach tree, suppose I could try one of those Tropic Snow peaches in a container.

I didn't have room to try the tatume, let me know how it tastes.

I have tons of different sweet peppers but you can never have too many different varieties, I with Denise if you could possibly send me a few seeds :-)

Your flowers look great too....

Tom

Michael--- everything looks great. The tabasco plant is beautiful. So ornamental with the various colors of the little peppers.

Tom--- I have a Tropic Snow peach tree and the tree got huge. Mine is overdue for a severe pruning. Mine is not a heavy producer.

@saintpfla: it's called 'fastbreak' (or 'fast break'). i got it from swallowtail seeds, which also carries an excellent assortment of wild flowers...

@felix & deinse... ok, where'd i get the seeds then? my guess is from bill (castorp). i'll check with him. i'd be happy to share seeds, but i am sure it's cross-pollinated with the dozen+ peppers i have growing in my garden. let me see if i can track down the source...

@puglvr1... i bought the plant from a lonely guy at the farmers market years ago. i'd be happy to share seeds, but, again, it's probably crosspollinated. that said, i HAVE grown several of these from seeds, and they came true. if you want some seeds, drop me a line.

@anna... my wife is a tremendous pastry chef... she uses a really interesting recipe for her peach pies from a book called 'the pie and pastry bible'. it makes the best pie EVER! the small cantaloupe+pot+trellis takes up very very little space. definitely something to consider.

...but i am sure it's cross-pollinated with the dozen+ peppers i have growing in my garden. let me see if i can track down the source...

Couldn't be worse that a certain company in Florida that I've been more than disappointed in when it comes to their pepper seeds. Many of the pepper seeds they've sent me were NOT what I ordered and clearly genetically unstable, not to mention the ones with a ZERO germination rate, which obviously means immature seeds :-) :-(

tgs?
