Bumper crop - ABT's in my future

Options
I guess the weather has been on my side.  Our peppers (grown in pots) are looking great this year.  Looks like ABT's this week and maybe stuffed bell peppers.  Anyone else having good luck with their garden this year?

    I am so glad you posted this. I planted mine on the backside of our fence this year in pots last week and totally forgot about them this week. 

    Thank God it’s been raining. I’m with ya. Very pumped about ABT season in the south. Hot grill. 90+ degrees in 90% humidity. Cheese and hot chorizo down your gullet followed by a cold drink. 

    I need to check those plants!
    I hope your plants survived - I suspect you will be fine.  You aren't far from me and we have had a ton of rain.

    My peppers are not quit advanced as yours right now.  Jumbo jalopeno's, tobaccos, golden cayenne's.  I have already started searching salsa resipes.  Pic's to follow when they start to produce .

    Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

    Just zucchini, squash, cucumbers, sweet peppers, and blueberries so far. Tomatoes, watermelons and jalapeños soon. It will be awhile before habaneros and sweet potatoes are ready.

    My sons and I built some raised bed this spring.I filled them with a base of spiled firewood and straw, then 18" of local cow manure compost. A friend owns a high end greenhouse and allowed me to have my choosing of plants three weeks ago.
    This is ten minutes ago. Those are Heirloom tomatoes. Cherokee Purples nearest. Mortgage Lifter, Dr. Weithe's and Brandywine's toward the back. Also a couple cherry varieties.That's a Cherokee Purple. On June 3rd. In Michigan. This is going to be an amazing year.

    @dharley - that's an awesome raised bed.  I've been considering building one for a few years.  it would be a bit smaller than yours - thanks for the inspiration.

    @mEGG_My_Day, Thank you! It's not as big as they look once you start planting. I wish I had gone bigger. My soil here is sand so the beds are the only way.
