    Today's harvest. Regarding the carrots, there are a lot more where these came from as I only pick what we will eat that day. The rest stay safely in the ground until it's their turn.

    Your jalepenos look small and mine always come out the same. Don't get me wrong - they're great for dicing, garnishing, and grilling, but they aren't big enough for stuffing. And that has kind of been a goal of mine for a while. I haven't figured it out yet.

    And I don't believe it is a matter of leaving them on the plant longer. I've left some out until they've 'oaked' and they haven't increased in size at all. And at least in my case, it isn't the variety I'm planting.

    Maybe it is just our climate and early onset of constant sun. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

    If anyone has any ideas - please let me know.

    Aside from that frustration of mine, everything in your pic looks green, clean, and awesome! And I'm jealous of your peas. Mine have burnt up 2 out of 3 years.

    Honeybadger- how awful! Are you sure it was rabbits? We had a damn raccoon come trash our deck like a rockstar, and he got into all my patio plants.

    Question for all the gardeners here: do you use fertilizer? I found some organic stuff that was making my pepper plants and tomatoes grow like crazy before the raccoon ended it.

    Pulled 6 jalapenos this morning, all in the 3 inch long range. Looks like I need to get some meat for chili this weekend.

    They are small. Some of these ended up as poppers, and while small, they were good. Wonder if it's just the variety? Some types of jalapenos maybe bigger than others??? I font know, I have only ever grown this type...

    Variety most likely. We choose smaller ones for cooking mostly because they are tastier too.
