SolarAndWood said:Nothing fancy, just jalapenos and onions. Do you prune on the way up? Did you prune at 12' or did they just stop when they hit the ground? Were they producing fruit the whole time?

That pic was in June, we were in right on time. Last year we lost 75 plants a week before we planted this year. Irene and the storms thereafter shut us down this year for tomatoes. We did very well before that but I'm pretty sure arbors would have gotten us through it.

I think the tomatoes get it done as long as you keep your expectations in line. We ripen a bunch on the vine in the house but usually have a pile of green ones and I hate tilling them under. Tilling the garden under is a real downer for me.

timfromohio said:Huh? Relaxation and my garden are two words that don't go together!

I agree...but the new car smell wears off around September.
I need a distraction for my distraction...LOL
