Ping to the Weekly Gardening Ping List.

I hope all of you will stop by.

This is typically a low volume ping list. Once a week for the thread and every once in a while for other FR threads posted that might be of interest.

If you would like to be added to or removed from the list please let me know by FreepMail or by posting to me.

I still have okra coming in. I picked a big bag yesterday. It was the first picking in a week or so. The recent cool, wet weather has slowed it down considerably. I was picking a bag every other day when the weather was warmer. I still have a few tomatoes and peppers coming in, too. I have planted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots and lettuce in the greenhouse and they are progressing well. I’m planning to plant a second round of Broccoli shortly, putting the second harvest about a month behind the first. I’ll do the same with carrots in another week or so.

I’m done. All that’s left in the garden are the brussels sprouts and they’re staying as long as possible to get sweeter with the cold.

Harvested the squash FIL grew for me this year; butternut, delicata and honeybear (a new acron-type from Jung’s.)

Killing freeze this weekend...and maybe SNOW! Eeeek!
