Basta Ya for yellow, orange, and green tomatoes, wilted lettuce, seventy cents per pound potatoes, and ears of corn on the cob that'll rip out the
teeth. When all the different lettuce and mesclun mix / arugula grows some more I'll add that image. But for now...

But I wish my ability with &^%$#@&! computers was better developed. I don't know how to import images :-(

Hey David,
Just right click on the image you want to post and select "Copy Image Location". Then you take that link (http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s380/mexbungalows/Mexico...) and put it in between the image tags and voila:

.....image....tags....?
HELP! I'm in over my head!
Gimme some freakin' FET's to play with or avalanche rectifiers in an alternator. Sigh, I may just be too old to learn new tricks. Photobucket was a
big accomplishment for me :-( An analog life in a digital world...

These are the image tags...[img] [/img]
You almost had it right....all you needed to do was put the link to each individual photo in the middle like this: [img]the link to your photo goes
here[/img]
Veggies look good by the way!

CARAMBA! It Works!
To the right of the milpa, patch of corn are the potatoes. I soft mulched the ground so they should grow to impressive size. The last time I did this
each plant yielded 30+ lbs of potatoes (This earth is even better)
The intense stand of waist high corn is a "proofer" to see if my idea of what the local soil needs to grow sweet corn, and reality, are both on the
same page. It is supposed to stress the soil and degree of moisture retention. I guess things didn't stress too much.
From the amount of noise at 2:00AM last night, a jackrabbit may have come nose to nose with a local dog as it tried to ambush my patch of lettuces and
greens. Funny thing about Pavlov and me putting meat scraps near the lettuce at midnight when I got up to, er.... well I get up around then, and put
goodies out for the poochés. They sort of keep an eye on things I guess.
The corn, all of it is Kandy Corn. Probably the best eating ear of yellow corn on the face of the earth. Need some nice warm days ans mild nights for
the ears to develop.
There are two types of tomatoes, roma, and beefsteak the size of a softball. Two plants I counted 33 tomatoes growing and buds for 50 more. I have
another. seventeen sprouts ready to transplant.
My big (?) is the cantaloupe and honeydew melons. They need warm weather. But organic vine ripened melons, fed with esterico and volcanic soil are
padrisimo. You can smell a vine ripened melon from twenty feet away.

Hawaii or Alaska, Amigo? Looks like moondust but Bajadoc had some awsome squash outside the blue house! Wind blocks would help out front, no?! Tio

Nice start. Tia Mela Cota in Los Bariles has always
had one of the greenest gardens along the coast that I have ever seen. Of course
it helps to have plenty of fresh water like she does to irrigate such a large garden.

good looking patch(es). fun stuff and i'll bet those melons will do just fine. we have some Peruvian peppers that turn bright orange after
Thanksgiving. i'm betting those melons will too.
