My Garden Today

Rough guessing I’d say about a bushel.

Break for lunch. We will probably have 6-8 gallons of strained juice ready to process and everything cleaned up by supper.

Fingers crossed.

Man you get a lot of good stuff out of that garden. But it looks like about a full-time job.

Its a job for sure, and the pay sux,but i got myself an awesome boss

…well that and 10 gallons of freshly squeezed juice.

Here is whats left out of 25 gallons

Its what I do after spending decades running a crew of men and eating roadhouse burgers off my tailgate.

Really

So at least you got something to look forward to, right?

Its good work if you can get it :wink:

Pretty much the extent of my gardening is a couple tomato plants and maybe a :bell_pepper: :hot_pepper: in a pot.
Growing up our garden was nearly 2 acres no exaggeration. I pulled all the weeds shelled all the peas, husked/cut all the corn &&& that I care too.
And also having to help with all the canning and putting up for the freeze.
Not complaining very happy the way I was brought up.
Having a garden really ain’t my thing.
I do get kind of envious sometimes when I see the big piles of y’all’s fresh veggies.
But I don’t enjoy the work enough for the reward.
And we usually get a good bit of fresh veggies from one of the guys at work.
And then in the fall I’ll bring him trout and big mullet. He smokes mullet.

No, youd better hand those over to @barbawang asap.

Nice find, they should be around everywhere down there now after all the rain and humidity

Have you prepared them before?

These are the two tomatoes and three ears of corn ive been looking for

The very last ones this year

No sir. Do tell!

I have something similar to these in my backyard. Squirrels pull them up and eat them

Those are shitakes, they dont grow on the ground, they have to be “planted” in hardwood.

The ones in your yard are likely milkies and not fit for human consumption

I specialize in growing fun sized pumpkins…

But I did manage one watermelon for myself. The deer are off eating something else now.

Nice! They can be challenging with stalk bores and downy mildew

Time for a punkin chunkin!

Good looking mellon, glad you got some after all that work

Looks like grape jelly day damarra*

Awesome. I don’t recognize stump’s… honey mushroom? Never strayed that far afield in what I felt comfortable IDing myself

I should have looked closer, I thought they were chickens

Not sure now, ill check

Yo @StumpNocker

Thats a jack-o-lantern mushroom i think and not edible. It might be a honey mushroom as suggested, but its hard to say without holding it and the book at the same te.

Well, its edible i suppose, but it is poisonous to people.

DO NOT EAT THAT ONE
