Maybe mine will grow big this year. <br /><br />Your beans are finishing and mine are about to start (they're a little later than they were last year). My peas are just finishing.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-67948869907017706912009-07-19T05:35:04.642-07:002009-07-19T05:35:04.642-07:00Bummer about your computer.

Of course, I say that and I'm planning on making jalapeno jelly...but we do have AC, so it doesn't get to terribly hot in the kitchen. If I'm going to be doing a lot of cooking or canning, I put a big fan on the counter and aim it right at me. Your onions look so pretty. I just cut the tops off of mine and put them in a basket, but they were just the last of some really puny ones. I'm with Stefaneener on the yellow squash, I'll bet it's not getting pollinated. They'll probably start bearing soon.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-64658899548445803182009-07-18T21:29:00.589-07:002009-07-18T21:29:00.589-07:00Shawn Ann: My kid is a blueberry *junkie* - we pla...Shawn Ann: My kid is a blueberry *junkie* - we planted five and some day it might be enough! lol Of course there are worse things to be addicted to...<br /><br />Stefaneener: I'm so bummed about the aphids. I've got to get out there tomorrow and deal with them. It's amazing the one artichoke that didn't get attacked is at least a third bigger. The ants are happy though.<br /><br />And yes I can share the recipe... I'll put it in its own separate post. Oh man - I LOVE ollaieberries!! You can't get them up here (crazy, I know). No one's even heard of them. Such a shame. They're so delish.<br /><br />Not sure what's going on with the squash. I cut back some of the larger leaves - there's not a lot of air circulation so I hope this will help with that and maybe allowing pollinators to get in near the flowers too, plus some direct sunshine if it is a fungus. The other yellow squash planted in a different place is doing much better so I think it might be location and tight quarters.<br /><br />Liisa: I held off a long time before pulling my carrots. I also brushed the dirt off the tops to see how big they might be. Some of them were upwards of 12"! And thank you about my onions. =)Just Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008462659487802315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-45204350436683867132009-07-18T20:26:09.215-07:002009-07-18T20:26:09.215-07:00Wow look at those carrots!

I sure wish there were a u-pick blueberry place near here. Yum.<br /><br />Lovely onions!<br /><br />Shawn Ann, my daughter was just the right size last year to eat ollalieberries right off the vine. She didn't even have to pick them. Just grazed.<br /><br />Oh, and about the yellow squash -- are they getting pollinated? If they're rotting from the blossom end, that might be a culprit.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268559567958002671.post-22854014464066577402009-07-18T18:49:09.431-07:002009-07-18T18:49:09.431-07:00My dd loves to eat a lot of berries too.

When we took her for strawberries, all she did was sit and eat...none made it to the basket...lol! It was too cute!<br />Hope you get your computer soon!Shawn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242486533549946479noreply@blogger.com
