Green bell peppers turn red after they ripen. It doesn't hurt them, they may be a bit softer.

I guess one of my watermelons made it. We found one among the pumpking leaves and it was so flavorful! Also, my orange tree has regrown all the leaves and I even had six blooms last week.  |

oh great...you must have a green thumb. I have tried orange trees a couple of times and nothing; and it was either a lost watermelon seed or a pumpermelon, how about that. It's so much fun to have something we have grown ourselves.

That's an oriental lily bajanne. One of my students gave it to be at the end of the school year. It's beautiful!! The little girl had to come visit me to see where I had planted it.

I missed out on most of my garden produce (family emergency had me out of town for August and September) - the neighbors report everything was very tasty. I do have a lot of grapes though. I put an ad on craigslist for free grapes - Brett is coming over to pick them and is promising to give me some of the resulting jam - great deal - I've eaten about all I can.

I had ten replies to my craigslist ad in about 15 minutes. one of them said they were most likely , Interlaken white table grapes and that concord grapes were dark with seeds
Not sure but they are tasty and seedless

I have Concords and they are purple. I make jelly because I don't have the patience to let the wine age. Yours look similar to the ones I buy in the grocery store and freeze as snacks.

I am just catching up on this thread after not visiting for quite awhile. Del, I envy those fruit trees. I have a huge wooded yard with no real space to put fruit trees. We once rented a house that had a huge cherry tree in the front yard. It was amazing and the cherries were delicious.

I have a huge, very old apple tree in my front yard and every summer for about two months we're picking up fallen apples constantly. They're good cooking apples and I don't spray them so they might have worms but they're organic. Right now they're digging up our street so the workmen have been eating them.
Del's tree looks quite young I think.

No gardening required on the apple tree in my yard. It does it's thing all by itself every year and I pay someone to come in and prune it every four years or so.

The apple trees are only about 5 years old . We have 4!! Only one produced a lot of apples this year. We don`t spray either that`s why you see some black spots on the apples. It`s only on the peel though. We were picking apples off the ground for weeks before we finally picked the last ones that were left on the tree. They are really good for cookin or eating. We prune them a little every year. Monrein is right. Not much work with the trees at all. Bees pollenate them and hopefully they produce apples!!

Okay, so if we take the old rotting maple tree down that sits smack in the middle of an otherwise open area, maybe it's worth it for me to plant apple trees. We've been holding off to let the tree live out it's life, but we're afraid it will come down in a storm. Apples in 5 years - that sounds pretty good.

I've had three respondents from my craigslist ad come over and pick pounds of grapes (I took the ad down after ten minutes), and yet there are still plenty left.
Tonight I came home to a grape picker of another kind. The dog was not pleased.
