A Sneak Peek of What’s Going On @ Double Danger

Seedlings - What are you growing?

Anybody else already get started?  We have something like 9 billion tomato varieties this year, 50 million different peppers… and then a whole bunch of other stuff we probably  shouldn’t be growing – since we could hardly care for the ones we had last year.  But that is gardening right?  Taking on too much, and griping about it the whole time… right?

What do you have going on in  your garden… err basement… or… greenhouse?

Positive Pepper Picking

Long time no see…

Let’s just get past it right now, it has been a while – but big damn deal right?  We all get busy, we all have things come up.  We did.

But the garden still grows.  We have mistreated it, yet it still grows.  Especially the peppers, they are going crazy.  We have been picking them pretty much all year, but with lots going on this past month – we saved them all and harvested all at one time.

Here is a picture of our pepper harvest…

No, your not seeing things, and we aren’t crazy – there are a handful of tomatoes in there too.  Over 30 peppers just yesterday, not too bad.  We are starting to cool off lately, and it has done the garden some good.  Seems like it was 100+ for most of the end of June & all of August.  Hopefully we will get a few more months of nice enough weather to pull off some late “Summer” crops.

We did get out this weekend and plant some fall/winter crops… something we haven’t done before.  We are excited to see how it goes.  How does your garden grow?

Garden Update Part 1: We Know… It Has Been A While

It seems that our garden had a slow start this year, but things are in full bloom and the veggies are starting to show up.  Gardening is said to teach us patience and this year it has done just that.

We bought some cucumber plants from a local store, because the ones that we started burnt up in the hot sun.  [Read more →]
