Loved, loved, loved this thread! The one thing that I am excited about this year is that we have our first apple on our young apple tree that we planted about 5 years ago. It is half Jonathan and half Red Delicious. There were several blossoms but only one apple is growing that I can see, and I am watching it very carefully.
We have the exact same tree! It is loaded with fruit this year. Not sure why, maybe the deer left some fertilizer.
We have a small pear tree in back, but it did not grow out, only straight up. When it does get pears the top most branches start to hang over. The racoons love that tree. There is a momma coon who brings her three babies with her and they climb that tree.
Of course, our GSD has something to say about that too!
We have a young plumb tree that must be a little over 10 years. Sadly, it doesn't bear fruit every year. This year it seems to have concentrated on growing. That plumb tree is close to 12-13 feet tall now.
I am getting more jalapenos than I bargained for I haven't been picking them lately and they are turning red!! Does this mean they are rotten now or what's the deal??

They're ripe. Ripe jalapenos turn red. I prefer them green though, personally. The texture will be softer now.
Looks like everyone is in the waiting stage of planting. That must mean we're all out weeding. Yeah! NOT! I can not keep up! Now we have so much rain and cold that I can't even go out to do that. So instead, I check back here daily and feel all alone.
Oh what I wouldnt give for rain and cold. My garden is done, I just hope I did it right.
My green beans are severely damaged every morning- so I'm guessing that something nocturnal is at it
I removed a few slugs off the plants a few weeks ago and haven't seen any more after that. And out here in Colorado we don't see many snails or slugs anyway. I've moved the mulch under the plants a bit to look for earwigs but I haven't seen a thing so far! Any suggestions/ideas? These plants are flowering but some of them have no leaves- every new leaf is eaten promptly.
This is how we grow them in the Hoosier state. This was picked last night they were picked 3 days prior to that all my green beans are really, really nice this year.
