My plants are Huge and have more leaves than they ever did. Next year I'm going to prune them quite a bit. Something is going on with the Honey Bee population. There were some this year but not nearly as many as I usually see. The Stink Bug population is a problem. I never spray my stuff but I'm going to have to start next year. Some small solid Grey and a bunch of Black and Red spotted stink bugs stung all of my cucumbers and zucchini plants. They are not Lantern flies. Those things are not in our area YET but they are coming. The apples look pretty darn small in Orchard up above us. There are lots of them on but they are 1/2 the size they were last year. Last year I was picking Banana Apples the size of my whole hand. This year they are just slightly larger than my Palm. My beef steaks are all solid meat with a small ring of seeds near the skin. Super super juicy and delicious. I just ate a big tomato and mayo sammich. Seriously I could eat fresh garden grown tomatoes until I explode. I bought some California Beefsteak tomatoes from the store 4 years ago and got a bunch of the seeds to grow. That's what I'm growing. I've been harvesting seeds from a couple tomatoes and letting them dry out in paper towels. Bag them up and toss them in my seed bucket and toss the bucket in the closet. It stays dry and cool all year in the closet under the basement steps. That's where I keep my big crate of Potatoes and they last 10 months before they start going soft. As soon as they start going soft I cut them in half and plant them. Potato yield is going to be really good this year. I dug a test hole at the corner of the potato patch and it is absolutely loaded. Definitely going to have to give a bunch to the neighbors lol. Edited September 4, 2022 by J3st3r RobMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Peppers are doing Awesome. Only planted 4 green pepper plants but they got big and each one had over a dozen nice big stuffing peppers on which I put in the freezer allready. Still has a bunch on but they are not quite ready. stuffed peppers. I just make a simple cornball (Rice and burger balls with a few spices) and smother them with tomato sauce. Corn is a bit late but looks good. Quite a few ears on. Most of them have 3 decent sized ears. Accidentally planted some Hot pepper plants. They were supposed to be sweet peppers like the ones they have at Subway (love those things I get extra sweet peppers on my roast beef subs) but these are hot as hell. Can't stand eating hot peppers.

Look for soft, spongy mozzarella balls that are packed in water. Use a good sharp knife to gently cut them into thick slices. You don’t want squished mozzarella! Basil. Only fresh leaves here! Dot them over the tomatoes and mozzarella whole, or gently tear larger leaves before adding them to the salad. Extra-virgin olive oil. It’s worth finding good-quality, 100% extra-virgin olive oil to use in this recipe, because you can really taste it here. Extra-virgin olive oil has a strong, fruity flavor that’s a great finishing touch for the juicy slices of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil – I don’t recommend using another oil in its place. Freshly ground black pepper. If you don’t already have a pepper grinder, now’s the time to get one. Grind it straight over the salad for the best flavor! Sea salt. I like to sprinkle the salad with generous pinches of flaky sea salt, such as Maldon sea salt. Regular sea salt will work too, but skip the iodized stuff here. It has a slightly bitter taste that can stick out in such a simple dish. ScRiPt3r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is classic Umami, like spaghetti sauce + parmesan, or pizza sauce & mozzarella...look up Umami pairings & you can mix and match your own pairing you perhaps never considered.
