How does your garden grow?

Trouble with either one of those is that they're so prolific that not even halfway thru the season you're sick of eating it, and have run out of neighbors, friends, co-workers to pawn the excess off onto. :laughing:
Neither stores well either.

Planted yellow squash one year, learned lesson.
Hard squash (acorn, butternut, hubbard, etc.) is bad enough, at least it keeps and is way more versatile.

That's why I have pigs, to take care of some of the excess. Right now I'm feeding them dandelion greens, it's nice to finally have a use for them.
I also have some apples and acorn squash left over from last year that I have to remember to feed to them.

Hung up yesterday. The one boy went out to garage to get into his grandfather's car today made mention that the garage smells kind of funny and he's not sure why LOL

Garlic picked yesterday morning.



My spelling really does suck without spell check...

A while back we noticed a really strong, strange smell in our kitchen. For quite a while we could not figure out what it was. After noticing it was stronger by the pantry I started pulling everything out and found a hidden clove of garlic. I will remember that smell from now on.

I've had a similar experience, except that the potatoes I had put away the fall before were starting to spoil. There aren't many things that smell worse than rotten potatoes.

I know we are off topic but.....recently the wife started ordering can dog food online and saving us a trip to Walmart way too often. Last order was about 20 days worth. Kept noticing a random smell. Turns out one 12 pack case had a couple busted cans in it. It was shrink wrapped. Smelled like a five day old dead and bloated cow. I threw away the remaining “good” cans out of that case.

My brother lives in SC, I think maybe 30 miles from the border of N/S . . . he is picking his green beans . . . :thumbsup:

I love the smell of crushed garlic and of tomato plants. Also cigarette smoke in the distant air, but not close up. Amongst other things.

It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone, I thought that there was something wrong with me.

Makes three of us. On another note I planted pinto beans for the first time. Gotta figure out how to know when to pick them.
