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

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.
I got a tongue lashing last night while on vHerf for not properly watering the garden on Tuesday. The Wife talked about adding mulch to avoid the garden drying out now that the weather has warmed up. I was also called to the carpet for not picking all the plump peas. I apologized and asked for retraining, I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually.

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.
Brought out the house plants, planted 8 tomato starts and a six-pack of marigolds for companions (it makes me happy to see how cute they look). Hope the tomatoes like them.

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.

At least a couple of months on a bed of straw in the garden shed.
How did you hold up to the storm @First_Warrior
Saw some bad things up your way.
My son's first harvest.
Nolite Oblivisci Peniculus Dentes
Finally got power back in time to roast a few trays of tomatoes to make sauce. Buzzed these up with fresh basil.
Why are they not round. Different.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
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.

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

Still getting chard, kale, collards, sugar snaps, radicchio, arugula, and lettuce from our garden. Picked this AM.
Planted sugar snap peas, bok choy, and spinach.
Spent most of the day rebuilding our raised beds, and a bench top cold frame. Fertilized all our wild flame azaleas.
Transplanted collards, parsley, and bunching onions,

Not a garden, more of a test of some camera stuff.

Hope you got them all this time….for your sake lol
