Ugh, work has got the best of me this last week. It's been intense with my normal work, but there's been some really tragic and upsetting personnel situations. Anywho, this morning I did make some scrambled eggs with minced chives from the garden, and topped them over warm rice. Simple and...

This is a gorgeous sandwich! Mouth-watering picture!

I do too! This is on the side of our house where there’s about a five foot wide area to walk. I’m glad she didn’t block the walking path since the dog like to go back there to do her business. Now I can enjoy her and her web everyday!

Orb weavers every Fall.

Funny enough a nasturtiums recipe came up on my Pinterest feed. Using the leaves as baking cups for mini quiche.

I made made casserole dish of stuffed bells a couple days ago, so DH and I had some for lunch today. Green bells, tomato sauce and herbs from our garden. Five halves left, trying to figure out what to make next!

That sounds lovely. I will definitely have to try that with our next bounty. 😋

@Phaedra, earlier this summer I made a salad from their leaves after needing to prune some back. It was very tasty! Subtle pepper notes like arugula (rocket).

For the last three or four years I've grown Summer Dance cakes from Territorial Seeds. They have not failed me yet. Thin skinned, small seed, sweet, crisp, trellis well, and productive. I will always grow at least a couple vines of these. I've been doing three vines in a four foot bed, and...

Those are gorgeous greens! Make me want to do a sauté right now!

Thanks @Zeedman , very interesting. I'm definitely going to have to start exploring varieties more. Oh yeah, if pests start going wild in the garage, for sure they are going in the compost. It looks like I started all of our peppers indoors in mid-Feb this year, started hardening them off in...

Really good info, thanks so much! I'm tempted to still try it as an experiment, just to kind of go through the process and see what happens. That completely makes sense that those further from domestication fare better. I've rejected the idea of bringing them into the basement. I'd kick...

Beautiful! The white ones are quite nice. I like the contrast of the white petals, the bits of pink and the green stems.

Gosh, it's so hard to choose a favorite! It's hard to say, but I do love this particular one when it's in peak bloom. For whatever reason the delicate flowers and draping stems get me. Plus the bees and hummers love it, so it's always fun to see who's taking advantage of the nectar and pollen...

Rhodie Ranch, love your signature quote about water and cooler weather, amen to that. DH and I hail from directly south which was and is so much drier. Unless it's those years that we get those weird-o heat domes! :ep😅

Ooops! I thought I did, but I guess not. Let me fix that. Thanks!

Hey all! New to the site and thought I'd crash this thread :frow. I'm loving all of your pictures. I've only ever grown standard Wonder Bells and banana peppers, so I'm really in awe. I really want to expand our garden in this direction with some fun varieties, so already looking to next...

Morning all! I just popped over from the Back Yard Chickens site. Happy to be here. I got more into garden when we moved into our current house in 2019 and had some space for raised beds. I love it, I always feel like there's so much to learn as you go, adjusting for next year, dealing with...
