I have one bugger slug that is eating my pumpkins.<br />Hey, I used your post in April about making fertilizer and used comfrey leaves and guess what...It worked!!! So THANK YOU for the excellent idea!!<br />P.S. totally jealous you have cucumbers.Rainy Day Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139202327960366363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-36359909156227168752011-07-24T18:00:25.150-07:002011-07-24T18:00:25.150-07:00Very good and productive garden as always!

The leaves are falling off perhaps from too much and too little water, however the peppers seem to be doing well.<br /><br />First year growing turnip, and it will be on my 'must grow' list for the future.

The Perpetual Spinach may have bolted because of the weather conditions. I bet many of our plants are totally confused at present. We had a "summery" Spring, and now we have a cool, gloomy, wet July. I'll me interested to hear how your Celeriac does - I've found it difficult to grow up till now, but this year's crop is looking more promising.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-63488272875210786302011-07-23T17:09:58.982-07:002011-07-23T17:09:58.982-07:00You have a very productive garden.

They were so yummy, sweeter and much more flavor than those from the market. I have not grown cayenne peppers. We grew big jims last year and they were very hot. Let me know how like them. Your garden looks healthy and I'd dare say, happy.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732676481099375924.post-39011491353399795292011-07-23T16:17:49.045-07:002011-07-23T16:17:49.045-07:00Everything is looking good.

They will be good, at any size, I bet. Your pepper looks nice, and that tomato plant looks loaded!
