My maters have greened up to and are looking like new.

Anybody wanna recommend a good bean/vine to start on a fence for fall-early winter pickings??

I wish I knew, RDL. I have never had good luck with beans. Snow Peas do well for me in the spring, and should be okay for the fall.

Where can I buy the wide green beans in dfw? Just like they serve at spring creek BBQ.

Try Roma 2 bush beans. You can plant them this week.

Wide green beans? I'm thinking you might be talking about Italian Green beans...Not sure where you can buy them fresh, but you can get canned ones at most grocery stores.

If you're talking about the plants, I haven't seen any seeds or plants for those at the gardening centers...then again, I don't plant beans, because I haven't had good luck...wrong type of soil.

I planted Blue Lake green beans and purple hull peas several weeks ago. Both are doing well. All of the tomato plants have greened up and are blooming. All of the pepper plants have blooms except the ghost peppers. The fall crop of lettuce, collard and mustard greens have broken through the soil. My okra is about six foot tall and doing great. Can't wait for some cooler weather. Sure could stand some rain.

Okra has gone wild the past few weeks, now about 4t tall, some taller. Picking about 1/2 gallon bag full every day. Tomatoes look great, they survived summer okay, new growth popping up too. But, also some dead looking limbs/leaves. Blooms all over the tomatoes, hopefully this cooler weather will get them to set again. If so, I'll be loaded up this Fall. Also replanted a bunch of cukes. Have about 30 plants up now, about 6"-8" tall. Hope to can a bunch more pickles. Bell peppers are loaded with blooms too and about 10 nice sized peppers on them now. Some as little as marbles up to almost fist-sized. Things are looking good!

Well I just found this thread and all can see I am going to enjoy it.
I moved to Denton Tx about a year and a half ago from Denver.
I have enjoyed the planting of the garden hear but the heat seems to take it out.
I read that one can plant NOW is it true?. I would love to try. I plan on tilling the garden this week with some good old Chicken stuff from the chicken pen. My Pickles did good this year and my Tomatoes did to but the grass hoppers got to them and them tomato worms to I am sure .

There are some things you could plant, like peas and maybe some of the leafy vegetables. As far north as you are, however, I'd probably wait on everything else.

Man, my bell peppers have gone absolutely crazy. I only have 4 plants but one of them has 11 peppers on it! The other 3 plants have 4-5 each. Loving it. However, my tomatoe plants, despite surviving the summer and putting on new growth, just don't want to set blooms. There are blooms on them but none have set yet since the cooler weather rolled in. I've tried shaking them but nothing yet. I'll let them roll along and see what happens. Replanted cuke sees a couple of weeks ago and they are already 1 ft tall and starting to vine, climb, so I see pickles on the horizon again. Also, okra continue to do well. I've picked a bunch in the past months, a few gallon bags full in the freezer not counting what we have eaten! I have about 25 plants or so and most are 3'-4' tall and look great so hopefully they will continue to produce till the 1st frost. Lastly, my jalapenos look great, tall (about 2 1/2'-3') but they are aren't really setting a lot either. Lots of blooms and only a few jalapenos growing. Sure would like to see them do something (dang grasshoppers ate a bunch of leaves but they are fine now). Gonna have to try a different jalapeno seed next year, these have been disappointing. Plants have grown tall, green, leafy but not a lot of peppers to speak of and the ones that did grow were not even close to hot. Looks like maybe serranos next year for me.

Where can you find Ghost chile peppers seeds or plants?

I bought ghost pepper plants at Home Depot back in the spring.

Keep on shaking them...it's the fluctuating temps from very hot to cool. They'll set.
