Re: Jardín del Gotch
Heck, there's two (2) times that amount in the basement, with more to come.
Yeah, buddy! Wistful, reflective time-o-the-year; started them there Tomatoes six (6) months and a day ago.

Re: Jardín del Gotch
Final harvest of four (4) Roulette Hybrid Pepper plants; the bright red against the blue make for a right pretty bowlful, am I right:
@rxkeith asked me what I'd do with it all. Won't say; subpar haul, some unripe:
65 vines planted last May, three (3) remain. As luck would have it, it's the lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch's Taste Test Favorite; Mountain Magic: Containers get new soil each spring, which is emptied into the beds each fall; stuff's black, moist, and rich.
Reckon I'll tend those planter clumps tomorrow...

Waltham Butternut Squarsh vines came down, too:

Re: Jardín del Gotch
Why do you think that the squash were so small? You can use that last one in a mouse trap.

Re: Jardín del Gotch
And ripe! But no earthly idea; we've had a lot of small ones, but they've all been greenies.

Re: Jardín del Gotch
For once, The Gotch got ahead of a fast approaching hard frost; Garlic's in viewtopic.php?p=108887#p108887....and the embarrassingly meager results/remains of a VERY disappointing Sweet Pepper season are in house:
Sure 'nuf are pretty, though, am I right?

Re: Jardín del Gotch
I reckon we've been dutifully spoiled; there was three (3) times that haul last season and the season before.
We LUV our Sweet Peppers grilled...matter-a-fact, some await my attention as we speak!

Re: Jardín del Gotch
there were NO sweet peppers here. first time that has happened for me
only peppers that did anything were a couple hotties. korean dark green ripened to red in the house.
there is a chinese pepper pointing upward that may have crossed with grandpas home that i am waiting
to mature, and a ho chi minh that is partially yellow. sweet peppers were a complete bust. i still have
peppers in the freezer from last year. enjoy those peppers.
good thing the washer and dryer aren't top loaders

Re: Jardín del Gotch
That'd be a disappointingly undersized, and usually more yellow, Mama Mia Giallo Hybrid, (https://rohrerseeds.com/products/mama-m ... %20sunburn) my FAVORITE Sweet Pepper!Seven Bends wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 7:18 pmNice! What's the pretty, bright orange one in the front of the pic (left side)?
In previous seasons, a lot of those greenies (Carmen, Giant Aconcagua, & Giant Marconi) and pale yellows (Sweet Sunset Hybrid) would have been marvelously deep Red or Orange.
Despite their low numbers, the best showing was the Goliath Sweet (upper right)

Re: Jardín del Gotch
I thought I recognized Mama Mia Giallo! I grew it for the first time this year and really liked it -- thick walls, excellent flavor, very sweet. It took a long time to produce (didn't do anything in midsummer heat) but finally produced a lot beginning in late August. The later ones have had those green areas but still taste great. I also tried Big Daddy, which I thought would be a similar pepper, but it didn't do nearly as well.Cornelius_Gotchberg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 6:40 amThat'd be a disappointingly undersized, and usually more yellow, Mama Mia Giallo Hybrid, (https://rohrerseeds.com/products/mama-m ... %20sunburn) my FAVORITE Sweet Pepper!Seven Bends wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 7:18 pmNice!

Goliath Sweet is a beautiful color! Haven't grown that one. For bells, I've been sticking to varieties that are resistant to bacterial leaf spot. Had to run through a lot of varieties before finding a few that grow well here.
We used to grow and love Carmen but stopped because of disease. I still have seed and may try it again. I wish Atris were still available; it was somewhat similar to Carmen but more disease resistant here.
