Was a fair year to grow tomatoes, terrible year for green peppers, fantastic year for green beans, hot peppers, and butternut squash. The picture shows about half the squash we harvested...total was 107, from EIGHT DOLLARS worth of sets....the little green ones on the table top show their size when they began to grow.

Very nice good size

Thanks---no squash soup jokes??

Makes me want some squash pie. Just can't get it down here. They never even heard of it. But they love there nasty grits

Wow, you did get a good harvest this year! :thumbsup:

Thanks...two years ago we harvested over 1,000 pounds of tomatoes from 30 plants. This year barely a third that much from 24 plants.

Too cheap...lol. Got that barrow 20 years ago for free somebody was getting rid of it becuz tire kept going flat I put in a $5 tube and it has served me well every since. It is probably close to 35 years old by now.

Good harvest we did ok on tomatoes, red sweet peppers, and bell peppers..

My dad has one - and it is GREAT - especially on heavy loads. You don't have to struggle with keeping it upright, or making the load absolutely even.

My parents had a phenominal garden this year. Peppers and squash were the big winners - along with tomatoes and potatoes and cabbage/brussels. Oh, yeah - and APPLES!!!! TONS of 'em!!! :biggrin::biggrin:

They didn't plant butternuts this year, though. :frown:. I LOVE them! I'd die for a nice, steaming bowl of homemade/homegrown butternut soup!!!!!!!!!

I am envious of those who had a good harvest of green bell peppers this year, I have 15 plants out there that are 42 inches tall, but for some reason I have only been able to harvest a DOZEN decent size peppers so far this year. Have plenty of tiny peppers now about the size of a golf ball but they will never ripen in time....:frown::frown:

We got 30+ bell peppers but we didnt plant until the middle of June.. I know what you mean though as we had a few that didnt seem to fill out right.. The flesh of some the peppers seemed thin.
