Due to living in Ohio, which I am positive must be pretty close to the Arctic Circle, I didn't get the garden until mid-May, unlike early April as I was doing in NC.
Planted: Tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, jalepenos, sweet corn, cucumbers, watermelons, and pumpkins... and there are a few volunteer pumpkin plants from last year that I allowed grow.
So far we've eaten about a dozen cherry tomatoes, yummy. Been eating onions for about a month; I am surprised how much tastier they are than those bought from Kroger.... I figured there wouldn't be much difference between a store-bought onion and one that you eat 10 minutes after pulling it from your garden, but there was a huge differnce.
But the real reason for this thread is that I just made some chicken fajitas for dinner, with garden onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and a single jalepeno. I am glad I added the jalepeno as a topping instead of mixing it into the fajitas while they cooked (wife and kid prolly wouldn't like).... because god DAMN these fuckers are hot. As soon as I ate one little piece my mouth was on fire. 30 seconds later my lips are burning. Right now my fingers are burning from when I was handling them.
In other words, I grew some good fucking jalepenos. I can't wait until enough tomatoes are in for some chili, and salsa...
There are prolly pics. I'll ask the wife where on the server she put them.
On a side note, you've got to love a gardening thread where the f-bomb is dropped multiple times.

Just gave your mom some fresh dill from the my garden. The old mayor gave me some garlic seeds and will give me some spermint seeds for next year. Fresh green beens and squash for supper tonight. Have you ever ate the whole onion from the garden. Greens an all. The greens on the onions are so hot. Burn your mouth like a hot pepper.

As far as big pumpkins. You need a large horse needle. You fill it with milk an put it in the pumpkin vine. The plant will suck the milk from the suringe. That is what the big 2000 lbs pumpkin growers do. Course you normally have to limit a vine to one pumpkin but if you have enough plants to experiment the kid might be surprised. Hey maybe your sister could get you an I V drip from the old folks home? Heh

It's true (and surprised me as well). Was reading an article on food and your sex life and that was in there.
