Great change from a car parts storage spot - I did figure out that growing corn is another space waster when you can plant lots more 'maters 'n' peppers 'n' peas 'n' beans

Mmmm! I smell green tamater pie in the offing. It's amazing what you can do with a bit of dirt.

Shuck and Jive time.

Have you got the cold ones in the chiller??? the guys and girls are coming around for sweeeet corn and a barbie. Bob is bringing the fresh vension steaks, I will bring the oysters, someone from Montana can bring the beef steaks, heck sounds like we have a backyard party happening. Chopped up peppers and tomatoes into some sort of salad, letz all party.

Just let me know when you're showing up so I know to be here
But really if anyone is ever in the St Louis area you are more then welcome to stop by. Hell I'll find something to burn on the pit & its easy enough to cool some brews down...joe

can't tell you where you buddy Murray might be, BUT if you Google "Rod Millen" you find he's been a busy guy. Hell he may even know where your buddy Murray might be. But I would also do a FaceBook search. You'd be surprise you might & can find on there. I found a bunch of neighborhood/grade school friends I hadn't seen in almost 40yrs and bunch of us all got together shorty there after.....joe

Hey,Joe,thanks for that..Have been meaning to hunt him down for a while now,,will have a go at finding him,and ,yes,best idea to start in California at Rods shop..Yeah,Facebooks a good idea.He might be on there,or maybe one of his sons..
Your garden looks good,Joe. With the way things are at the moment I might have to do the same thing,,,if we can save some dollars by growing our own instead of buying,,,,well,gotta be good for the pocket..

Well so far I have picked about 50 or so tomato's & have tons still on the vine.
Just picked my first 4 ears of corn today(click next to see rest of pics) & should have at least 6-8 more w/in the week or so. Got some green peppers just about ready to pick & surprisingly some of the peppers mark "Bell Peppers" are really either really skinny bell peppers or they're Jalapeño Peppers .
Not to damn bad for a place that was a place to hide junk. Best part is the our family & neighbors are enjoying in the over abundance of tomato's that we have. Because there is no way Denise could eat them all, cause I don't eat them unless they are in soup or ketsup.....joe

Good on you mate ,Joe, right neighbourly of you sharing that homegrown produce with the Neighbours. Boy I bet that homegrown corn tasted the best with butter ,salt and pepper dripping from it. Man let me wipe your chin for you.
