no ripe tomatoes yet,

[beagle man]

but planted some fall corn today, daughter came down the hill and her and Miss Sharon rowed and planted some candy corn, I drank coffee and supervised the endevor, planted 15 short rows then turned on the sprinkler. soaked the kernals 36 hr. before planting, hope the stuff comes up Old Farmers Almanic said today was a good day, hope so, love that fall corn.

big ole green tomatoes but no ripe ones just yet, close any day now....

one more thing, went up on the south side and checked the corn patch there, 50 ac. on the neighbour, deer have really been working on the outer rows, eating the silks,and nibbling the tops of the ears, picked a couple ears for dinner ,, like a good mess of field corn once in the summer, small kernals, tough as heck, but great taste.

watermellons are getting big almost ready, and been picking hot peppers for awhile...

Nice garden report! We've not had any ripe big tomatoes yet, however have had quite a few cherry tomatoes. I couldn't wait the other day and pulled some green ones off for some fried green tomatoes and crappie! The in-laws were out so it was a good excuse! Been eating some zucchini and pulled some more off a bit ago. For some reason 2 big zucchini plants seem to be shriveling up over night while the rest are doing great. Cucumbers are all over the place and finally got some off of them. Cantaloupe are about the size of a baseball and the strawberries are starting to come around as well. This is the first large garden I've ever attempted and so far it looks.....ok! Did lose quite a few tomatoes to the worm(s). Good grief those things are awful! Went out and picked some cherry tomatoes one afternoon and everything was fine, came out the next day and they had striped 1 plant and gotten into a few tomatoes. Put some 7-dust out and that seemed to cure the issue with only a few more tomatoes being sacrificed. I guess maybe the worm was already in the tomatoe or something...who knows.

Dill pickles don't require a pressure cooker, correct? What is that stuff called when you mix the vinegar, sugar, cucumbers, and onions?
