Time for stuffed Bell peppers. We've already had a few in some salads but this is the first "big" harvest. 9 peppers makes a recipe and a half, fills a baking dish. Venison sausage, rice, onions, etc...same as last year.
I think I'm in love again!  A 6249 is a great carry, just realized this the last few days.

Those stuffed peppers look better than ever Phillip! Sure would love to try one someday...

Here's some flowers growing in the garden that I started from seed in my basement in early April...a couple different kinds of marigolds, and some sweet alyssum.

Looks great Philip. Mom rest her soul cooked them often. Never with those ingredients but we always loved them. Usually seasoned burger and rice. Will have to try that recipe sometime.

Great looking flowers Mike. Nursery grade. Worked as a Nurseryman for 5 years starting about 17 years old but never really did ornamental stuff from seed. Beautiful!

Just a quick picture of 2 of the 3 semi-feral/ former pet rabbits I mentioned previously. They just hang out and eat weeds mostly and I enjoy them. Reason for the "rabbit proofing" I showed previous on my veggie garden.

Quick Steel, we let some Sweet Banana Peppers grow to a very large size. Then we begin by slicing a side from the pepper making in essence a small boat shaped container. We then fill these with the same concoction as we use to stuff the Bell peppers. Our Jalapenos haven't started producing yet, those are the ones that a fun to stuff! Here are the Bananas we picked yesterday afternoon and stuffed. I mentioned looking forward to Sunday dinner and Scott made a comment so I posted a picture of my plate at dinner today in the First Cup thread. I'll post it again here as we had enough stuffing to do several Bell Peppers, too.

Well Mike I had to look up Lincoln Peas, found out they were a variety of English Peas, what our kids called "frog eyes". Looks like your helper is about grown, a fine lookin' young feller! My ol' daddy used to take the left over English Peas and chop up a little onion and cover it all with vinegar, I was too young to appreciate such good things.
bighomer, that is a fine basket of produce! What are the 3 little yellow peppers in the basket with the tomatoes? Usually we slice the Zucchinis length wise and grill 'em with a bit of Everglades Seasoning sprinkled over them with a light coat of olive oil.
Our biggest crop this season is supposed to be some Purple Hull Southern Peas. We planted two small patches of them divided by a lane. A week or so ago, we noticed some "Lice" on the pea plants. "Lice" is actually a common name for an infestation of aphids. Aphids seem to attack field pea plants when the weather is extra dry as we have had up until a few days ago. They suck moisture from the stems, leaves and young peas. I sprayed the south patch and seemed to have controlled the problem but was unable to spray the north side and yesterday afternoon I noticed how terrible that patch looked compared to the one that had been sprayed. This morning I sprayed that side and hope the plants will recover.
Took some comparative pictures to show what is going on. In a big commercial operation spraying would be done by a plane or high wheel sprayer, we sprayed with a small pump up sprayer since there are only 20 rows about a hundred feet long. The south side looks good, peas are blooming and some are setting on. Hopefully in a few days the north side will look better.
We are also putting out Milorganite to repel the deer, there's always something trying to eat a garden.

I had not looked at this thread for a couple of weeks. Nice harvest of peppers and tomatoes, Bighomer. And I well remember the lice, Treefarmer. Purple hull peas were one of my Dad's favorite crops. Seems like the lice always showed up at some point.

______________________________________________
This afternoon I harvested some Asian Pears out of my garden. Raccoons, squirrels, blue jays, and woodpeckers have been ravaging the crop lately, but there was still more than enough for my wife and I.

Mel, those pears look good! I had to look Asian Pear up to see what they are. Our Sand Pears are hard to eat raw, they make good cobblers if you can beat the critters to them.

Love Asian pears Mel. I've only had them from the grocery store I bet they would really be good tree ripe. Evidently the Racoons, squirrels, blue jays and woodpeckers do too! ::nod:: ::nod::

Sand Pears were the only kind of pear that I knew existed when I was a kid. Like you say, not that great, but I still ate them. I have three Asian Pear trees, supposed to be dwarfs but that is up in Nebraska where Stark Nursery is located (I think). Down here in Alabama I have to keep pruning the trees to keep them under twenty feet tall. The thing about the pears is that I do not have to do any spraying for them to fruit. I have tried plums and peaches and they just would not produce without a lot of spraying that I do not want to do. The pears are completely maintenance free except for harvesting and pruning to keep them small.

Doglegg - it is man against nature in my back yard! I invite the wild life into my little corner of the world and the darn critters behave like wild animals!
