Another vote for Mrs Wages. I tried some different recipes and some were good. But the Mrs. Wages stuff is consistent and easy.

Harvested 80 lbs from the privet flow. Chineese Tallow about to get started here in Mississippi. Still waiting patiently on tomato’s.

My first Cherokee Purple started turning color on Saturday. I went back out yesterday after the rain and it had cracked

I've had a few cracking, but I picked several that were starting to turn yesterday before the rain came. We are supposed to get rain all week down here.
These Brad's Atomic Grape tomatoes are splitting really bad. Almost every tomato on the earliest cluster split after the rainfall yesterday. One day, I will get a ripe atomic grape tomato.

Half of the garden space I set up to grow veggies for the elderly people who live behind me flooded. I thought this might happen. I could dig a drainage ditch but could I instead just add soil to it to level it out? The problem with a drainage ditch is it would run into my neighbor’s yard & he’s finicky about his yard. So much so he wanted to use my backyard for his garden b/c he didn’t want to put it in his.

Columbia, BallsEleven.... curious, how big are your yards? I'd like to get started in this hobby, but I think my yard is too small.

Just use the regular pickle package for banana peppers?

I'm on a half acre lot in a subdivision of similar sized lots. I've only had them 3 days but so far you can't tell there is a hive there unless you walk up to it. Me and the boys will go out and sit in the grass about 6-7ft away from the entrance and just watch them while they ask me questions...ALL the questions.
It'll be interesting to see how it goes during dearth and if they get defensive of their hive at all. I'll be updating in this thread as I go.

I’m on a 3/4 acre lot in subdivision. I always have 2 hives back there. I have 5 new Nucs with them right now. I couple hives is good. Only time I really get popped is when mowing around them during a dearth.

Just a quarter acre in an an older subdivision. House backs up to an easement, so there's a considerable gap between the neighbors on that side.

Mrs. Wages makes ready made packs of pickling mix. Cut up your stuff in a 160z jar, pour it in, put in fridge, wait 8 hours. Eat delicious stuff. You could buy one pack and try it before you buy a bunch of stuff for canning a lot.

When do y’all usually pick Habaneros? I’ve seen online to pick them while still green, or wait until until they color.

Out of the 6-8 atomic grapes I picked over the last couple of days 2 split. A couple could have used another day or two of hang time but I didn’t want to risk it with the rain. I haven’t had issues with any of my other Gate’s varieties yet but I am still waiting on the larger fruited varieties to ripen (Berkeley Pink Tie-Tie, Solar Flair, and Pink Boar).
Made an awesome Caprese salad with some Atomic Grape, Sunrise Bumble Bee, Black Strawberry, and Thorburns Terra Cotta.

Do you find that the black strawberry tomatoes soften faster than the sunrise bumble bee?

So far I have found the opposite to be true, but they are both very close.

My garden, and lawn, are appreciating the rain this week.
I should have spaced out my cucumbers and yard long beans more. They are already out of control. The bush beans are steady producing while I wait on the yard longs. Those have plenty of flowers though so it won't be long.
I have more blackberries than I know what to do with. Idk what I'll do when my 2nd bush starts producing.
So many tomatoes are getting ready to ripen. It will be a huge influx where they are all ready to be picked at once. The only one not producing is the Black Krim. It flowers then drops them. May be the heat.
I got a couple of yellow onion. They were still small but the greens had laid down and looked like they were drying up. All of the others though look fine so I'll let them ride and get bigger.
My peppers are lagging behind again this year. Has to be the soil that I added to the raised beds before last spring since these are the only 2 years I've had trouble. I'll have to get in there this fall and till in some compost to break up the fill dirt.

Bummer. Are Black Krims more difficult to grow than other heirlooms? I’m on my 2nd try with them. My first attempt (2 plants) yielded one viable tomato. Every other heirloom I grow does well except this one.

Sorry, I haven't been on the computer to respond. I talked with my county agent and he said probably bacterial wilt. Caused by a beetle. But I really thought I had done what I should, I started with compost and then mixed in 10-10-10 fertilizer, then planted in small hills and covered the ground with landscape material and wheat straw for mulch. Watered every couple of days and the whole garden seemed to be doing really well. But I went out last night and I guess I've lost all of my honeydew plants.
My biggest concern is that if I plant again, i will have the same problem.

I’m not sure. I know one other person that has tried down here and he said he never got anything out of it.
