Well, I called it - planted the garden today.

20 Pablano's
24 New Mexico #6's
8 Jalepenos
4 Early Girl Tomatoes
2 Crook Necks
2 White Patty Pans
1 Watermelon
6 Rows of Olatha Sweet Corn

that goes along with a row of piss poor lettuce and beets... Bassman is going to find a different beet contractor next summer... two new rows of garlic, strawberry bed, and black raspberry thicket :thumb:

Here they are in no particular order

Another cool thing we did today was vist the Willow Bend Iris farm http://willowbendirisfarm.com. My wife is one hell of a flower lady, so we had to check it out. Turns out, we were about one week early.... but for the rest of you florests... here's some shots.

Coolest thing was... the wife was shooting the breeze with the owner, and they got to talking about one of my wife's Iris's that literally smells like root beer... The lady went nuts! Apparently its official Iris Society name is "Ginger". The lady has been looking for over five years for a start... so being the very kind person my wife is, she just offered to GIVE her a start:faint:

aahh well... not making me any money in the yard... here's a picture of them

Cuz it's my garden.. I LOVE green chili and anchos, and ABT's. I only plant tomatos because the Mrs's likes them. She can also make one hell of a batch of salsa and spaghetti sauce too, if she feels like it.... mostly she feels like to just picking one or two to go with dinner - not worth the hassle of planting any more at my casa.

Personally, I just don't care for tomatos - look close - I could have gotten another 12 to 16 peppers in that wasted space!:faint:

Nice looking bed's.... The plants look hearty.. I think you will be fine on the frost if it comes....

Got you beat on the mater plants but you are up on me by 12 pepper plants!

Garden looks great!

Good luck and happy gardening.

Well this is my first try at growing pablano peppers so I may be bugging you for ideas on what to do with them...obviously you got it figured out...

You got it going good! :thumb: I'm hoping to beat the heat this year! :eek:

Hey WALEE the garden is looking great - good luck with the frost issue

What a wonderful garden! The iris are really beautiful, too. The iris farm takes me back to visiting a couple with my Grandma when I was a little girl.
