2020 Harvest
- Thread starter canadmos
- Start date
My garden tanked early on. No peppers. No beans and slim pickings on Tomato's, Squash, and Zuchini... Big old Nothing this year. Be eating a lot of Chard and Spinach this year.
The two jalepeno plants I got from a friend are scrawny as hell, but growing some peppers. I'm guessing they want a bigger planter.
Meanwhile my original jalepeno plant is a super dense bush. After it gave us a bunch of fruits, it dropped all its flowers for whatever reason. Now its exploding with them again...fingers crossed.
The bell pepper plant is growing more fruit, too. Something chewed on it's one pepper almost two months ago and then it just stopped growing. Now it has a bunch of peppers.
The four Hungarian wax pepper plants continue to explode. Have already pickled two big jars and used countless others. Lots more to pick. Going to leave a few to turn red and see how hit they get.
Tomato plants are huge. For the record, I have no killed any this year, yet! Taking forever to ripen though.....

We have more yellow squash than wife can eat, need to start freezing it. First few cherry tomatoes were eaten yesterday.
Also @SkaredShtles what is that middle bin?
those'r more maters
Yellow pear tomatoes. Colloquially known as yellow dick-top tomatoes.But they have dick tops?
Ain't ever seen dick topped maters round these parts.
My Garden failed miserably this year. However my friends have had much success and I get to benefit from their generosity. I have Zucchini rotting in the Crisper already. I can only eat so much Eggplant and Zucchini.
@eric strt6 what's the plan for those?
We pickled two big jars of hungarian hot wax peppers a few weeks ago. Finally cracked them open - so damn delicious. Tons more of them too....

some I will eat fresh, some I will freeze, some I will dry. A bunch will go to latino and phillipino friends of mine. I have over 200 peppers
Send some up here!

Combine one tablespoon baking soda and one-half teaspoon of liquid, non-detergent soap with one gallon of water, and spray the mixture liberally on the plants. Mouthwash. The mouthwash you may use on a daily basis for killing the germs in your mouth can also be effective at killing powdery mildew spores.
Normally would get a few more weeks of tomatoes on the plants, but it's supposed to be below freezing from Monday night until Wednesday. Time to get picking...
I guess this is what we are getting this year. Got 5-6 cherry tomatoes and one golf ball sized beefsteak tomato. Tons of green ones, some soft ball size or bigger. I'm going to try covering them with a plastic tarp, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be too cold, too long the next couple days. Didn't get squat off my pepper plant this year, for some reason. Lots of flowers, never any fruit.
beats! You gunna juice them?I guess this is what we are getting this year. Got 5-6 cherry tomatoes and one golf ball sized beefsteak tomato. Tons of green ones, some soft ball size or bigger.

I'm not doing a god damned thing with those dirt clod tasting mother fuckers.
My daughter however will definitely eat them sliced after they have boiled for a bit.
Or you could just throw them away now?I'm not doing a god damned thing with those dirt clod tasting mother fuckers.

Need to go pick our remaining tomatoes, going to see how badly the yellow squash plants like the cold and snow as we've got a freezer full of those things sliced.
Beets are good eats.I'm not doing a god damned thing with those dirt clod tasting mother fuckers.

Just butchered the garden for what I could get that was even *sorta* ripe. Gonna cover a roma, a couple heirloom, and a yellow pear tomato and hope for the best.
Zukes/ yellow squash are on their own...
Discovered a couple Swiss chard plants amongst the pumpkin vines... WTF??

Our chard was nuts almost all year. Good year for it, I guess.Discovered a couple Swiss chard plants amongst the pumpkin vines... WTF??
What the fuck do you do with it?
Funnily enough our attempt at Swish Chard was successful this year too, six or seven plants. Normally it's died before there's leaves big enough to eat. Plenty of green cherry tomatoes now sitting on plates in paper bags on the kitchen windowsill. Yellow squash plants were also fully harvested and pulled, wife said she'd got enough for now
Saute it with mushrooms then mix into my scrambled eggs mostly.
I apparently completely forgot about my single jalapeno plant. 
that black sheep in the middle looks
Wife got a seed packet of mixed peppers. Turned out one was a purple belle pepper. Will be saving those seeds.
Had to trim the tomato plants a bit, but they seem to have survived the snow storm. There are what appears to be hundreds of little cherry tomatoes.
Tasty. Are they easy to grow that way?
