Ok where do you live?? Post your location. Because I live on the 45th Parallel and I would like to know where your at for rain and elevation. Nice vegetable.

Thanks, yeah the garden has been pretty successful so far this year. It's been pretty hot and humid lately. I'm in New Hampshire so probably about the 42.5 parallel I'm guessing. I suppose I should fill in the "about me" profile a little. Thanks!

Well my little strawberry patch went on a hiatus for awhile but seems to have decided to start producing again. I picked a cool whip container almost full and it looks like there will be about the same amount for tomorrow.

I hope they keep producing as I have a special guest arriving on about Tuesday and I'd like to serve him a bowl or two while he's here.

I think next year will cordon off a square of my garden and grow some strawberries, those look mighty fine!. Right now I have some heat resistant tomatoes growing, 6 canulope plants grows (2 hills of 3), 4 crocked necked squash growing, and some Oregano and Thyme growing in one garden, the other garden has Hot banana and sweet Banana, with a jalapeno peppers in it with a Brandywine tomato plant that is just budding out, so far this summer all it done is grow tall. My spring planting I grew cucumbers, straight necked squash, Rutgers and Celebrity tomatoes, I like the Heirloom tomato plants because to me they have a better flavor to them. Oh, yea I also have Green, Yellow and Red Bell Peppers growing.

Happy gardening!

Congratulations on the nice looking harvests! I will regroup and plant a large fall garden that will hopefully make up for my non harvesting summer one

I am about 1.5 miles south of the 45th.

I lived 5 miles north of the 45th. Drove right down the 45th when I was in Golden Valley ( a Minneapolis suburb).

Harvested some cherry tomatoes and hot peppers today.

The peppers will replace some in the red vinegar/pepper solution. This hot/sour mix is very good on greens and Brussel sprouts.
