We are doing the same here in Alabama. Your plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight. I don't know the name of the beans we use. A friend of ours gave us some seeds that have been in her family and they are WONDERFUL!!! As for your tomatoes it will take about a week or so for them to get ripe. Remember you want them real ripe, not orangish/red. Stephanie,

They have just appeared in the last 8 days. My dad has graciously given us his canner, but I need to get it shipped to me and I wondered how much time I might have. Also, anyone have a really good spaghetti sauce made from canned tomatoes? My husband is picky and I don't currently make it from scratch, so this will be an adjustment for him. Thank you again for the help! Okay, another question…Roughly how long do I have before my tomatoes might ripen? They have just appeared in the last 8 days.

It appears that my squash, cucumber, broccoli and peppers may not be getting enough sun where they are planted. I guess we can chalk it up to experience. I have not given up on them, though. Meanwhile, I came home to lots of tiny green tomatoes! I'm thinking that my little tomato patch is in a really good location and I'm thinking of trying some pole beans (since I have the fence they can climb) and maybe trying again with a squash and pepper plant. What do you all think? Is there enough growing season left? I live in TN, so it should stay warm at least for another 2 full months. Thank you in advance for your help. Oh, also, what type of pole bean would you suggest I get? I guess I should look for something that will grow well in my area, but I wondered if there were some favorites out there that we should try. My favorite way to have beans is with new potatoes, onion and sausage cooked together. I need some advice, please.

I am taking this year to truly heal inside and out. I tend to over do it also, then I regret it and everyone else is miserable because I can get so fatigued that I have to stay in bed. Wow! Old age is getting to me. My garden is doing well. I am going to try to plant again in between my fruiting plants to keep my harvest going. I hop it works. We are resting a lot too.

I liked your thoughts-very true. We have, just today, our first zucchini blossom. We love honey roasted zucchini (http://bluebarnbulletin.blogspot.com/2008/07/honey-roasted-zucchini.html)so we can't wait.

Our garden has been doing very well. There are little beans on the plants. There are also buds on the tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. We also have started getting peas! My Granddaddy loves fried green tomatoes too! We have made squash pie before and the seasonings taste like pumpkin pie. It is very good. :) Here is the recipe: Squash Pie 9" unbaked pie crust - Have ready 2 eggs, beaten; 1 cup evaporated milk; 1 cup sugar; 1 1/2 cups cooked squash; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1 teaspoon vanilla. Blend together thoroughly. Pour in crust. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Then, reduce to 350 degrees and bake 40 minutes more. Optional Praline Topping: Before serving, combine 2 tablespoons melted butter; 1/2 cup dark brown sugar; and 1/3 cup chopped pecans. Sprinkle over pie and place under broiler in oven for about 1 minute. Watch carefully; do not burn. Hello Mrs. Brodock!

As much as I am looking forward to harvesting some things from our garden, I am about to hit the 8th month of this pregnancy and do not relish the thought of being out in the garden weeding and tending it during these hot summer months. I am anxious to get home and see how the little squash, cucumber and peppers are doing and hopefully to see some tomatoes starting to grow.
