biglakejake Report post Posted July 26, 2013 Big, strong hunter gatherers almost always end up as crippled up, fat old dirt farmers and bottom fishermen. any interest in a gardening forum here? i guess i could just go to better homes and gardens forums........ but i don't think they would get my references to toad anaheims and monster kentucky wonders-much less the 400 class tomato plants....... lee 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tucson John Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Lee, doesn't look like much interest in general! But I'm curios what toad anaheims and Kentucky wonders are? 400 class tomatoes? I was coming down the mountain today listening to a radio show about GMO (genetically modified organisms......also known as food) and why this has been banned in many countries but the US population is being used a Genny pigs! So yeah now they have my attention. I like keeping my house yard in shape and someday I hope to have a greenhouse and grow my own vegetables at the cabin where I plan to retire.........so it's never to early to start learning right?

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Pepper patch? I'm getting 5-10 jalapeños every day or 2 off my single plant, I don't even eat them all that often, I'm almost sick of zucchini, I've roasted about 20 lbs of green chili already this year and my maters are just starting to ripen. I'd love a garden forum! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biglakejake Report post Posted July 28, 2013 well, gardening isn't a competition but i am a fisherman too so bragging some is just kinda natural. a toad anaheim is a pepper over 12". a monster kentucky wonder is a bean stalk that climbs to the end of a 9ft pole and then reaches up another 2-3ft trying to get up to the overhead telephone line. the last 3 years all of my tomato plants went crazy and produced over 100lbs of tomatoes EACH! thats 400 class in anybody's book. lee 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan H Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Tomato season, we have canned over 120 lbs of Murdoch Farms Camp Verde tomatoes in last couple weekends. Did 30 jars of salsa yesterday and 18 jars of awesome sauce for pizza, etc. Only 12 lbs to go today, then roasting some green chiles. Next month prickly pear margaritas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
