2022 Wiperhunter2's garden

[jjannie]

The green beans came on strong after my last post, we got all the way up to 222 green beans in one picking, we pick them every other day, so three picking in a week, before the numbers started dropping off. Here is my last picking of yellow squash, zucchini, also got a cuke and a cantaloupe.



 


Only got one small watermelon before the vines died. Peaches are coming on strong now, almost finished processing 400 hundred peaches, most were freeze dried but have froze 20 qt bags as well. My second tree is just about ripe, so will start taking some on us by later this week. Got the word last week that they are shutting off our secondary was on the 26th of this month, so that is about a month longer than last year.

38 degrees here once again. Starting tomorrow night we should be back to at least upper 40s - fingers crossed. Saw some shady areas that had a light frost on the grass below but looks like our garden escaped getting any.  That was close. We are trying to give our tomatoes a hint via a little pruning to ripen up faster. No more jars and no more freezer space. With just us two, it's hard to just keep eating all we can pick each day.
