Yall are making me hungry going to go fry up some green mators I just picked

The sweet cherry peppers have very slight heat, and like all cherry peppers, a solid wad of seed. I find that I can cut the top in a fashion similar to coring an apple, and pull the whole seed mass out by the stem, leaving a bright red little pepper cup.

My yellow pear tomatoes have exceeded 8' in height, and finally started to yield ripe fruit.

Worms....... Not just for baccy anymore.

Found tiny holes in a bunch of my cucumbers, this is what I found inside:


Anyone have this problem? It is new to me.

 

[Brown Thumb]

Yikes, I grow a LOT of cucumbers and never seen that before.

 

[deluxestogie]

I know that having bugs eat your cucumbers is annoying, and a serious matter. I thought I would be helpful, by searching for what specific caterpillar that might be. I searched Google images for "cucumber caterpillar":

Well, this is what turned up. Sorry, but I just couldn't stop laughing.

My little onion harvest. I am going to hang them in paint strainers.
Do you think it will work?

 

[DGBAMA]

Should. We used old nylons/stockings. Drop one in, tie a knot, drop one in, tie a knot, etc. The result is a "rope" of onions that hangs nicely. Cut them off one at a time from the bottom for use as needed. Hope that makes sense.

 

[Markw]

BT that looks like a good harvest, they should store ok if you dry them well. you need to make sure that the necks are dried out or they could root. I normally braid all my onions and garlic and hang them up to dry and then just cut them off from the bottom.

Mators an peppers

Ancho peppers Fake Japlapenos.

 

[deluxestogie]

Peppers look good. I'm growing fake jalapeños this year. I've found that, sliced up, you can put a boat load of them into a pot of chili, just for looks, when you don't want to make it too picante.

A few years ago, I discovered that when jalapeños turn red, they lose their fire--mostly. The fake ones, when red, are like sweet red bell pepper, great in a salad.

The red ones are great. Ive Always had trouble growin good bell peppers. These are a good substitute.

 

[Boboro]

The Ancho has a mild heat an is good for stuff'in.

[Brown Thumb]

[Brown Thumb]

Rainey day here, I got the kids to prep the onions. After they were done I showed them how to do it under water so they don't burn there eyes. Beer battered rings.
