Well, a lot of it is nasturtiums. 🤪

But holy crapsidoodle, peppers may take forever to get going, but once they do, they sure aren’t in any hurry to pack it in. I just picked 9 Jimmy Nardellos, and there’re at least a half dozen green ones still on the plants. I refuse to look at the jalapeños and peperoncinis. And they’re still flowering!!!

Every year, I tell myself that I’ll plant a fall garden (lettuces, spinach, peas), and every year by Labor Day I’m all hell, no.

I have 500+ bearded iris bulbs - dark & light blues and purples, bright yellow, dark red with gold centers, and some mystery bulbs that were in deep shade and never bloomed. I will meet Vols in Georgia & Chattanooga, and might stretch to K-town or NorCal, depending upon circumstances. @Orangeslice13, @vollygirl? @YankeeVol @VolNExile, I’ve not forgotten you. 😁

The late tomatoes I started from toppings and suckers are producing their first fruits right now.

I still have some green peppers.

We pickled two quart jars of banana peppers on Friday afternoon.

I think we will pickle a few more jalapenos.

Guess this is my lucky year. Got a pear tree behind the house. God only knows how old it is. Atleast 70 maybe. Kind of a low tree with some fanned out limbs like an umbrella. One super tall center "spike" trunk that goes up over 20 feet. Half the trunks are hollow. It blooms and bears every year, but the golf ball size pears mysteriously disappear without a trace. This year....The once in a decade bearing ?? Been back in the house for 8 years and haven't got a single pear, but this year I have a tree full of mature pears. Put a bowl full in last night to sit for a few days. Gonna can me some old time family pears and make some pear butter this year. Don't know when I'll get another crop. I bought me a chainsaw, so that tall spike trunk will be coming off. Maybe that will help in future years.

There's an Arkansas Balck apple tree on other side of back yard, which is now the edge of the woods. It's so old it doesn't even try to bear apples anymore. THese tweo fruit trees is where the apples/pears came from when my dad was a child over 70 years ago and they put sulfer apples in the ground for the winter eatings.

My brother has what appears to be the same pear tree down the road at his house that bears annually and it equally old, prob between 80-100 years as well.

My step-son buys almost exclusive from Johnny's. I've ordered twice. Ordered from Gurney's and Victory once or twice. Johnny's, IMO, is more expensive, plus they charge $8 shipping for seed packets. Johnny's might be where my green beans end up. Maybe clifton.

I order almost exclusively from Baker Creek (rareseeds.com). All orders shipe free, and every order over $10 gets a free seed pack. I have my wishlist list loaded out, and about every other week I move maybe four selections to the cart and spend anout $15 at a time.

I'll have to get on their list. Johnny's is targeted more for market growers, so it's not hard for them to get free shipping. I've only ordered maybe a half dozen seed packets over several orders. I think I discovered them when I was chasing down some hard-to-locate plant.

Having your family's green beans wind up being sold from Johnny's would be quite an honor!

My step-son has all those contacts cause of his job. He's doing all the shopping and pimping.

Bakers is where I get free shipping. Johnny's charges me $8 shipping each time.

Right. I’m very familiar with Johnny’s shipping fees. 😁
