Well, I never pulled the pepper plants, and they're the gift that keeps giving!
We just had another round of stuffed peppers last night and garden grown is seriously so much better!

Those are solid looking peppers, Squeegee must have left you some good soil ;D
New garden is doing well. Only issue is the birds and bugs eating the fresh shoots sprouting from the seeds.

I do have a fence now to keep out some of the bigger critters... hopefully. If nothing, it at least looks nicer. lol

Ed's wife (My old woodworking neighbor who passed away) gave me some California history. Apparently, this was part of an old historic water tank that came down in central California. He made some pieces out of it, but I decided to leave it as is and put a weathervane on it. It looks good in the garden.

Well, I'll keep the p[ictures coming as it progresses.

The new garden looks awesome Tom
Oi, meanwhile I gotta take my dead coleus off my porch...germinate some fresh ones maybe...your backyard is looking tidy and plentiful! I smelled that nice fresh topsoil smell in the courtyard today, once again wishing I had more room to play in the dirt.
The veggies are just starting to take off now there's some sun out!

Also, something's been digging int the garden and eating all my zucs and squash.... That and a few gophers found the yard apparently.
Your garden looks great, I'm off to a late start this year but I should have it planted this coming weekend. The gophers are tearing up my front lawn so it's time to wage war again !!
Garden is looking killer Tom, good job
Picked a broccoli yesterday.

Garden is still going. Everything seems a little bit slow this year, but we are getting regular harvests so that makes me happy. Lots of stuff is still ripening.

Weekly harvests are commencing. My tomatoes are taking a long time even if I am getting a couple a week, but the Zukes, Carrots, Green Beans and onions are going nuts!

The multi-color carrots are trippy, but really good!

The garden all of a sudden decided to start kicking out more veggies than I can handle. I even delay planted stuff so it wouldn't be done all at one, but the plants must talk to each other.
Just a quick 5-minute pick because I ran out of room.

You have an impressive green thumb Tom!! I've been focusing on fruit trees and dragon fruit.
Your garden is really producing, Tom !
My corn is liking the heat and is doing well, it's ready so I picked 5 dozen yesterday. We ate some, vacuum packed some and gave some to the neighbors.

Peppers are thriving too, just waiting on the Bells to get a wee bit bigger before picking.

I have about 20-25 dozen ears of corn to pick in the next week, corn for breakfast, lunch and dinner ha ha
Happy Harvesting !!
Nice!
Damn skunks dug up and ate all my corn seeds. Oh well.

You need a Mongo !
I can't even fit all the garden in a picture, but I think I must have collected 20+ pounds of green beans and wax beans over the last month.

Zucchini is about spent. That plant really just kicked out more Zukes than I could handle.

My garden was all weird this year. I usually have bumper crops of tomatoes but have been struggling with them as the birds are taking out over have of my harvest, so vine ripening is almost out of the question. Cucumbers were planted back in March, but refused to grow... Now they are taking over the garden and I can't keep up with the daily harvests.

Today I'll be pulling the last of the Walla Walla onions, multi-color carrots, green beans and zucchini. I'll probably replant right away to try and get another harvest this year, but switch things up. My strawberriy plants are trying to outgrow their raised planted, but the birds and bugs eat all the strawberries they produce. I think they'll be more of the winter harvest.

I have a single ear of corn growing. Worst Tomato and Corn crop in 25 years, but good god when it came to cucumbers and zucchini!
I just pulled my last harvest of the year. I actually have more coming, but I thinned out the garden a bunch after that last heat wave.

I planted corn.... and this is all I got to harvest this year.. hahahaha

I'm sure Koga could find use for one of those big zucchinis.
For some reason we couldn't grow corn for sh!t in Thousand Oaks.
Home grown veggies with some home caught marlin sounds pretty good right now...
