They didn't want to meet the wrinkly fate of being stuck in the fridge, only to head to the compost later! But I promised myself, that as soon as I learn to garden more productively, I will learn to process all my produce, too. At this rate, that probably won't happen until next year. <br /><br />* * * * *<br />Carol - sounds like a good idea! Soups are not yet a regular part of my kitchen recipes, but I'm working on it. Maybe this winter, with all the kale that I'm trying to grow as part of my fall crops.<br /><br />* * * * *<br />foodgardenkitchen - that's because you haven't seen them in person yet! :) Fried green tomatoes, yes, I would like to try that sometime. No, I haven't done any soil testing yet. Thanks for telling me about the commercial compost and pH levels, that's really helpful information to know.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-70878868986624068012010-08-25T21:16:09.556-04:002010-08-25T21:16:09.556-04:00Oh, another thing about root crops... have you ha...Oh, another thing about root crops... have you had your soil's pH tested? Root crops are more picky about pH than leaf-based crops. And about the compost (we learned the hard way...) - it matters where the compost came from. Most commercially-available compost comes from factory farm type of operations and the pH tends to be quite high because of the diets factory-farmed animals are fed. We ended up having to sulfur our beds 2-3 times to bring the pH down - Mel doesn't mention this in his books... I learned it from local farmers and my cooperative extension agent.foodgardenkitchenhttp://foodgardenkitchen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-92077119276226754042010-08-25T21:11:19.956-04:002010-08-25T21:11:19.956-04:00I don't think your onions look all that tiny.....I don't think your onions look all that tiny...we too have problems with carrots sizing up but the small ones taste good too.<br /><br />Cucumber and tomato plants tend to die from the bottom up. It's amazing how much they'll keep producing even when the bottom portion of the plant looks so bad. Unless we need the space, we tend to just leave them to do their thing.<br /><br />For green tomatoes that don't ripen, there's always fried green tomatoes :)foodgardenkitchenhttp://foodgardenkitchen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-73371719230635573122010-08-25T19:38:10.734-04:002010-08-25T19:38:10.734-04:00Tiny onions?

The weather finally hit summer temperatures here in the last two weeks, a little late for some of the poor plants... but oh well.

I'll just leave the rest in that one SFG bed square and see if they get any bigger, but I'm not holding my breath.

Your habanero plant sounds totally fascinating! <br /><br />And about carrots, your explanation about soil makes sense, but our soil should have been good enough because we used Mel's mix (equal parts compost, peat moss and vermiculite). The only negative was that the SFG bed may have been too shallow with 6 inches of depth.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-32389806979582051852010-08-23T21:39:04.916-04:002010-08-23T21:39:04.916-04:00Oh, and regarding your carrots, we had the same pr...Oh, and regarding your carrots, we had the same problem with the tiny puny carrots here.

So cu...I love your artistic photo of the tomatoes! So cute that you have them in descending sizes. I think if you pick the tomatoes before full size, they will still turn color. It's been our experience at least.<br /><br />Your question about the habanero, interestingly enough, our one plant produces yellow, orange and red peppers on the same plant! Isn't that neat? When they start turning color, the turn red, orange or yellow rather than gradually changing from say orange to red. One thing about habaneros.... They are extremely hot. So hot in fact that I learned that I should wear gloves next time I handle them!meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706830816455000435.post-9171934103252927932010-08-23T19:52:14.455-04:002010-08-23T19:52:14.455-04:00Nice harvest!
