    1. Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] HAPPY JUNE!Garden time..
    2. I don't know about y'all, but my cupboard runneth over ! When I saw Green Giant canned corn for $1.15 or more a can and Kroger brand on sale 3 for a buck or whatever I instantly bought a few cans...then noticed other sales and really stocked up.....Lets face it...it aint gonna go down any ..ever, I figure....We have all sorts of veggies in the garden, but not enough to freeze or can.... Our green beans were ready to pick exactly 11 days after blooming, as my dear late friend Eva Grace told me....Theres beets ready to cook and the yellow crook neck squash need picking...They aren't being pollinated right, so I pick them soon after blooming...Cukes were all falling off because all flowers were female,but now they're doing better and hubby picked several today....{ My suggestion that hubby get a little paintbrush and hand pollinate the squash met with a disbelieving glare....he reminded me he didn't even like squash in the first place.....} Multiplying onions are looking pale and leaves beginning to fall over, so they'll be harvested soon and something else planted there......Sugar snaps and snow peas have been very hard hit by the 90+ weather we've been having, but the Asparagus pole beans planted behind the fence are twining up the pea vines and onto the fence....Couple of the cornstalks are beginning to tassel....eggplants finally beginning to grow...purple kohlrabi beginning to bulb up just a little , and the red okra is growing healthy looking.....Red raspberries are ripening on the arbor we made from apple tree trimmings , and asparagus is still being picked a few spears at a time... Peanuts didn't sprout for ever so long and suddenly theres good sized plants there ! We planted some pinto beans behind the Rattlesnake pole bean fence and they are reaching for the sky ! Told hubby I thought Id snip all the lower leaves off the rattlesnake beans so the pintos could get some sun...Some of the leaves are yellowing anyway....I figure pinto's are bush beans, but either will be fine...just wanted to grow a few...Potatoes are thigh high, and blooming ......Before Buzz leaves Sunday I'll scrabble under the first planted potatoes and cook some with green beans....We don't have a BIG garden, just a little bit of a lot of different things..... Bedtime up here on the ridge..We all had naps this afternoon so I bet bedtime is gonna be a hassle....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Gotta get off here On Mon, 9 Jun 2008 09:56:40 -0500 busmar1852@webtv.net (Stella Roper) writes: > Good Morning everybody, and happy June to you.
