#gsgpeterpeppercontest
Update for the week.
Container Garden: Squash and potatoes are growing like crazy! Peppers are recovering well!
Greenstalk stacking garden: Cucumbers are growing well. Lots of flowers and tiny cucumbers. Rainbow chard is looking great. It has really begun to grow. Tanya's Pink Podded beans are growing well.
Raised Beds: Winter squash is growing like crazy! Two days ago I found three squash bugs. Yesterday I found two more adult squash bugs. Every morning I am on a search and destroy mission to find and smash squash bugs and squash bug eggs.
Strawberries are weedy.
Peppers are recovering well. A few of the peppers look really nice!
Tomatos are growing by leaps and bounds. I need to get tomato stakes in and tie up the tomatos.
Cucumbers look awesome. Growing well.
I am collecting mullein flowers for an herbal remedy for coughs.

Idaho Garden Girl - 18 June 2023 - Small Strawberry Harvest From Container
I was amazed to find a small number of strawberries on the plants in this container. I have been so busy with other things in my garden, I haven't paid attention to the container, except to water it.

Idaho Garden Girl - Final Pepper Harvest - 29 October 2022 - SW Idaho USDA Zone 6b/7a
We have had three nights of freezing weather. I have been covering up the pepper plants with blankets. Today, I picked the last of the peppers and in this video I am showing the different varieties that I grew.
Shout out to @Bountiful Harvest -Abby for the Jalapeño Traveler seeds that I won on her channel giveaway. The plants grew well and produced many peppers.
