Still producing? Shit we're just getting into the busy time with it!



I don't know what the tomatoes are, I'll have to ask the wife. They're some Roma type that is used more for cooking, they're a little dry and bland eaten fresh but supposedly make good sauce.

We did a Roma type last year and they were great for making salsa. My zucchini amd cucumbers died off early on. Peppers are doing really well. Still getting a couple tomatoes. We only have a few plants in the whole garden. NOTHING like you have going!

I was talking with my office manager about Oktoberfest beers and we checked the fridge at work but there was none. So we grabbed some yuengling instead.

Still no Oktoberfest, but a cigar at least

Nice! Good to see you partaking. I bought some Haufbrau Oktoberfest also and that is good if not a bit sweet. The wife likes it. I can't remember what we had when we were over there, but I don't think it was that. I would have remembered the taste. Need to get some Ayinger and Hacker now.

That’s an impressive garden.  We grow tomatoes, blackberries, onion, and figs.  The better half makes one helluva fig preserve.

Very nice. My wife keeps trying to grow (supposedly) hardy figs but they keep dying. I think it's probably in vain but if she wants to try I'm not going to stop her.

We have pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, two or three different cucumbers, three different melons, long beans, currants, raspberries, blackberries, onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, asparagus, radishes, beets, peppers (that ain't doing shit this year), various herbs, and a young mulberry bush and grape vines that aren't producing yet. And a sour cherry tree, a couple apple trees, and a couple hardy nectarine trees that are also not yet producing but one did blossom this year so hopefully soon!

It's very crowded. Mostly due to the squash and melons, they're going nuts this year. We pruned some of the vines back yesterday, and I swear that when I checked on things after work tonight they'd grown three feet again.

I would love to be able to grow some figs.

I was going to comment that those vines look like they could capture your kids and make them disappear in there.

Thank you. That's a Murray Carter pattern that he included in one of his books. I made it from 1095

That blade was done in caswell black oxide.  It's nowhere near as durable as park.

I do have carbon steel blades parkerized most of the time I want them black now.

This one was parkerized
