    How long will the Delicata squash keep? @First_Warrior

    At least a couple of months on a bed of straw in the garden shed.

    Roma tomatoes? Good for sauce.

    I thought they may have just been left on the vine longer.

    Naw, they always look like that.

    Right, Romas are sauce tomatoes with very few seeds and lots of tomato "meat".

    Everything is drying and curing other than these two throw away.

    You don’t hang them upside down to dry and cure?

    Need to figure out what that guy back there is doing 🤣

    I used to hang the entire plant years ago but there doesn't seem to be a consensus these days.
    That's all open desert by the orange arrow, a few javalinas are about all you get back there.

    A little dirt never hurt

    I was pointing at the big àss plant back there. That guy seems to know what he’s doing 🤣

    That's just desert growth Rusty, apparently they have tagged it for a little trimming, I just missed the javalinas.

    Picture of this years humble little garden. Experimenting with planting a bunch of onions around the peppers and tomatoes. I imagine I’ll have to fertilize heavy, but curious if it takes up some dead space in the beds.

    Seth, great set up. Those metal perimeters on the beds are nice. I expect the soil temp inside warms up with the sun.

    Thank you!

    I lost my first batch of tomatoes and peppers for that same reason though. I jumped the gun and planted about a week early, and we touched freezing one night. I had them covered, but still lost all of them unfortunately.

    I did an inground garden last year, and had bottom end rot issues. I’m going with the raised setup this year to see if I have a little more luck.

    I watered the Wife's garden this morning and picked some plump peas.

    Ah, the ol’ “watering the wife’s garden”, classic division of labor. 😄 Plump peas are a good sign you’ve been doing it right. Now all you need is a chair, a smoke, and a bowl of those bad boys

    Transplanted chard, arugula, butterhead lettuce, and direct seeded radishes and sugar snap peas. Started more lettuce and three kinds of basil in flats. Turned over six raised beds. Feels good to get my hands dirty after all the cold weather.
