first time i have grown them , hungarian peppers, are doing very well. i have pulled about a half doven. and much to my surprise they are a little more than i would call medium hot. they are about 6-8 in. and are very good for stuffing with good cheese not the fake stuff. no tomatos yet just bell peppers and the hot ones.

We made our second batch of plum jam and have not put a dent into the crop. I have never seen a tree so loaded with fruit as our one plum tree. So far the birds have taken just a few. Maybe the owl on the fence is working. I have downloaded a couple recipes for plum brandy. I want to make at least 2-3 gallons. Tomatoes are getting ripe. We have 12 tomato plants so that will mean lots of salad and tomato & basil with angel hair pasta....

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 04, 2008 9:51 am) So far I've had one tomato and half a dozen or so string beans, so my garden hasn't really gotten started yet. We've had too much rain, the ground is soggy. Bring on the sun!

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 07, 2008 9:55 am) Here is this morning's harvest:  This set of bales has all the ingredients for great pasta. Zucchini, basil and tomatoes. The tall tomato vine is over 6 foot and no sets yet. It is supposed to be Super Beefsteak tomatoes.

I may build a raised bed for next year. Did you plant those right in the hay bale? That's hilarious. Must drain real well?

I am thinking that I could use some of my land for one of these systems. It would be nice to have nice fresh veggies year round. They also are growing algae for biodiesel. At the very least I will buy some of their stock. Seems like the best system I have seen thus far. http://www.valcent.net/s/HDVGS.asp?ReportID=266563 http://cc.pubco.net/www.valcent.net/i/misc/HDVG/index.html

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 02, 2008 10:32 am) Update: my green beans are actually doing well. I was out for 3 weeks so some overripened, but I filled up a small basket. I have 2 good cucumber plants, my best crop last year, so let's see if those take off.
