Gardening in Conyers
My husband loveS to garden…well, at least when he is getting the site ready for planting and the actual planting, but he fails to be a diligent weeder. He usually produces a bountiful harvest of veggies for our table and some for the freezer.
This year he grew asparagus beans. They look just like any normal, round, green beans but they are LONG. Some of these are approaching 3 feet in length. We flash fry them, then remove from the oil and sprinkle them with ginger, garlic bits, and a bit of soy sauce. This dish resembles something the green beans at a Chinese restaurant.

He has some tomatoes and some pretty cherry tomatoes. The problem with the cherry tomatoes is that Puss loves them and all the cats think they are toys. We have to keep them contained and covered.
Fruits of Conyers Gardening
He also has beautiful bell peppers and somehow, jalapeños! We don’t eat jalapeños! What to do with them?
Jalapeno Peppers
Fresh Bell Peppers
He has never had success with watermelons and honeydews. I don’t have a picture, but they are growing.
Dream of a beautiful garden in my backyard may be a pipe dream, but gardening in Conyers is included in my brand of country living.
