majorcatfish, what a wonderful garden you have. It looks like you had great production on just about everything you planted! I really enjoyed the pictures.

Aw, everything looks so good! Perhaps I should consider renting a few beds from you and tenting next to them for the winter gardening period. The older I get the less I like the color white.

You have the brightest deepest colored vegetables , do you have a color filter on your camera lens?

 

[majorcatfish]

Have a polarizer filter on depending on the sunlight could have a 3.0 to 9.0
Depending on the sunlight can take up to 4 photos to get the right one.....
During certain times might use a color filter as well. Really love a 35

And here I thought it was because they were growing in North Carolina!


Here's a little something for you Major -



Not real big, but neither were the (impatient ) growers.

My snap peas have flowers!

Sown the last week of July, they had better hurry up. Frost is predicted in "outlying areas" so our very warm summer has truly come to an end.

Actually, the blossoms are an indication to me that the tendrils are at the right stage, if I want to harvest them instead of pods. There may be no choice if it begins to freeze. I have been disappointed to learn that frost not only slows pod development but toughens the tendrils. Aw well, there are just a few and I like 'em, either way.
