My peppers are struggling as well but that is par for the course for me. Really strange. 5th person I've spoke with including my own that has said everything else is good but peppers struggling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Finally started getting some of tomatoes turning red this past week. My peppers are still work in progress. Zucchini coming along. Had mowing down sweet corn for the last 10 or so days. My Dad's Sweet Corn had their first run last weekend and a farmers market in Nora (North Indy) just brought theirs in as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Thought I would fire this one back up. It's 9/28 and my tomato plants and peppers are still producing strong. With upper 80's in the forecast next I've got about 3 dozen greens that will turn. Very, very strange garden season for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Anybody else still going strong? Pulling red tomatoes and peppers off still in Indy. Also just learned this trick. Green tomatoes into brown paper bags and they'll turn red in 10-14 days. I heard about it online and tried it. Actually works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Wife just started cleaning out the garden this weekend. Pulled 2 small cukes. Pepper plant looks great but currently no fruit. Tomatoes still producing. With lows in the upper 30s tonight and tomorrow and limited free time on the upcoming weekends, it was time to put an end to the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to learn how to cook fried green tomatoes! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had was in Atlanta. It had pimento cheese, Carolina coleslaw and fried green tomatoes with a chipotle ranch sauce! Edited October 9, 2023 by Drroogh 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand and we do plenty....but nothing beats a beautiful ripe Indiana tomato. Just wanted to throw it out there because it's been such a strange gardening year I still have 40-50 green tomatoes on the vine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct though, they are delicious and my wife has made them on occasion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that just because of inventory or is it plummeting because of the cost of what the stores or suppliers have to pass on to customers?

Evidently it has been a good year for soybeans across the nation. A higher yield=lower price more often than not. BTW here at the ranch we got 45 bushels/acre. In a "normal" year we would get 55. And beans were 12.32/bushel at local elevator today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 So my Aunt is a little lonely and enjoys the company so a couple days a week I head to her place in the fall to do leaves. Final count this year was 117 bags. Lord I'm glad that's done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's definitely too late. May 1st -5th is historically the range in Central Indiana for last frost. By then you are giving your seed a very small window to mature enough to survive summer heat. Do you mean hard freeze?

I think it is ok to seed in the winter and the seed will germinate when the soil temps get high enough. https://www.jonathangreen.com/resources/can-grass-seed-survive-winter.html. I plan to put some down soon and then revisit later in the spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
