Our seed potatoes will be going in this week. I have to get our tomatoes started too. The jalapeno & sweet bell peppers were started a couple of weeks ago.

I wanted to fly jets. My grandpa used to take me to the big airport & we'd watch them take off & land for hours. Fast forward, I went to college & then entered the Air Force, where I was privileged to be trusted with a jet. I retired 22 yrs later, 16 of which I spent in a cockpit. Some may...

Maybe if you put it in a heated garage... Seriously, it has no insulating material & very little wind or snow-bearing capability. As with most things, you get what you pay for... and that is especially true with greenhouses.

From our home to yours: Faith makes all things possible. Hope makes all things work, Love makes all things beautiful, Mrs. Ranch, Dieter & I wish everyone all three again this Christmas!!!

I'm still kick'in!!! Just been real busy...

Yikes, I just saw this when I popped in... I truly hope you're feeling better.

Yesterday I harvested some cucumbers, tomatoes & green beans for our mail lady. Threw in some extra potatoes, onions & green peppers as well. This morning I harvested more jalapenos that will be stuffed for our supper tonight.

Jalapenos will go until Oct., the green peppers maybe another month...

Harvested jalapenos & green peppers. Mrs. Ranch selected 14 of the biggest to stuff with ground brisket mixed with onions & rice. The rest were processed for vacuum packing & then frozen for later use with fajitas. The japs were stuffed in our normal way for supper tonight.

I don't tolerate squirrels (or anything else) in my garden. They eat my stuff, I eat them, LOL!!!

Harvested a tub of green beans yesterday & another tub this morning. Started processing them for vacuum packing. We now have 26 - 1 pound bags in the freezer. The rest will be given away to friends.

None, it just me & Mrs. Ranch.

I spend about 1hour a day once it's planted & mulched & that includes watering. The yard is pretty uneven, so on the SW the wall is 2 courses tall & the NW corner is 9 courses tall. A lot of 'Pavestone' went into that wall... all set on a reinforce concrete footer.

Harvested jalapenos & green beans to go with tonight's supper. I also harvested the peas & can't say that I'm impressed at all with the yield of the 'Wando' (which they said would grow well in southern gardens) . Oh well, they were an experiment, I'll try something else next year...

This month's pictures of the garden: Continued.

The Angel Trumpets on the front porch are doing well, they seem to like our heat.

Tied up all the peppers as the are getting top heavy. Also tied up all the tomato plants for the 4th time (they're loaded). Harvested another big bowl of basil for dehydrating.

Sprig, you are aware that the YT48DXLS has a K-46 transaxle right??? The garden tractor I mentioned has a K-66 transaxle which is much heavier duty & better suited for for what you said about hauling gravel & snow removal. I fully understand that you said about you needed to stay under $3K...

Due to our continuing abnormally high springtime temperatures (mid to upper 90s), I harvested the remaining leeks, then cleaned/prepped them for processing/freezing. This will be the maiden voyage of our new commercial KitchenAid Food Processor. As I mentioned earlier, I have never grown...
