Cagey coons.

If caged, they become caged cagey coons.

DanG served up a slow fastball down the middle that I could not pass up :D.

DanG · August 04, 2009, 11:48:41 PM

Y'all probably don't even appreciate the skill it takes to serve up a slow fastball. :

WDH · August 05, 2009, 08:48:21 AM

Oh no, I appreciate it ;D. Not everyone can throw a slow fastball. To most people it would be a plain old slowball, but not with you DanG :D.

You ain't seen nuthin yet! I used to pitch in a softball league. You should see my fast slowball. ;D :D :D

Been awhile since anybody put up a pic, so I thought I would throw one in of what I gathered in yesterday.

These are part of the two FEL buckets of melons I pulled. Put some of the cukes up in a dill brine to make Claussen refrigerated pickles. We'll see how they turn out, should be ready to eat in ten days. Garden is winding down, so I am preparing for the fall garden.

Those are some nice looking melons and vegetables. The trees are coming along nicely too. ;)

WDH · August 07, 2009, 08:25:39 AM

Look at those beautiful clolors! Very impressive, Don.

LeeB · August 07, 2009, 08:31:42 AM

The peppers catched my eye. I likes peppers. Cayennes or Thai?

Norm · August 07, 2009, 08:35:50 AM

Very nice Don.

As an avid gardener I know how much work you've done to get such great crops. Way to go.

Don K · August 07, 2009, 01:03:23 PM

Lee, those are cayenne and jalapenos. I'm going put some up in vinegar for pepper sauce and dry the cayennes. The orange bell pepper is for my wife. She loves them.

Don

LeeB · August 07, 2009, 01:15:11 PM

I like cayennes for eating raw and jalapenos for cooking with. I like pert near all peppers, the hotter the better. Serannos are a good eating pepper and the Thai peppers I like in sauces. I make a Habanero sauce thats about 90% peppers and a few other goodies that'll blow your socks off. Did I mention I like peppers? Lindy gave me a gallon of garlic Tabasco and a gallon of Habanero Tabasco for Christmas. By the way, I really like peppers.

Aw, c'mon Lee, tell us what your opinion of peppers is. :D

SwampDonkey · August 07, 2009, 04:56:42 PM

My peppers look like they just germinated. :D :D

My cukes are just starting to flower. Been eating beats and spinach (second crop), I have had one or two cherry tomatoes now and then, I see 3 ready now.

The squash look sick as ever with a couple flowers. :D

Don K · August 07, 2009, 05:02:19 PM

Lee, sounds like you like peppers, shame though, sounds like you haven't been able to taste your other food in quite a while.

:D :D ;D

LeeB · August 08, 2009, 12:45:35 AM

Nah, the peppers make the taste buds super sensitive. Bad part is that it makes the other end super sensitive too. Certainly can't pretend to be a bear. They put you in jail for setting the woods on fire. :D

Mexican heartburn!!!

Mooseherder · August 18, 2009, 09:53:19 PM

The one Mellon I thought was gonna make it didn't. It was rotten when we got back from vacation.
The Biker Billy Peppers have produced a second crop.

The Red Pepper seeds I took out of Store bought Peppers are doing okay even after torrential wind and Rain knocked them down for a spell. Looks like we may have some production coming.

Don K · August 19, 2009, 06:22:12 AM

Those plants are looking good.

SwampDonkey · August 19, 2009, 03:08:10 PM

My uncle has lots of hot peppers coming on now to. He doesn't even know what they are and probably won't use them unless in Lady Rose or Ashburn pickles. Mom gave the hot ones to him. He might have some sweet bells, I never looked them all over. His garden is like a vineyard with more stuff than he'd eat in 5 winters. My peppers look like they just sprouted. :D :D

I know it's an old joke, but that's what ice cream is for
