Spring Edible Garden Plantings - All Grown From Seed

Spring Edible Garden Plantings - All Grown From Seed

Swiss chard still going strong from Fall, 2010 planting. Ripped out kale and have new lettuce coming in..

Moreton tomatoes (everything is covered in BT dust as the leaf eaters are coming out)

Medicinal herbs including jiaogulan, ashitaba, and lemon balm

Pole beans & cucumbers

Peppers

oops - Current pic of pole beans and cukes (previous is a few weeks old)

Wow, what a lovely edible garden. I need some of your techniques. I cannot grow nice veggies since I moved to TX almost 8 years ago. Yours look fabulous. Do you grow squash or cucumbers? Do you think BT dust would work on squash bugs? Apparently if I had the right conditions and practices I could grow a few tasty things.

That looks wonderful! Even more amazing that you started them from seed. What do you use jiaogulan, ashitaba, and lemon balm for?

Congratulations
Starting from seeds is really a challange.
Good job !

Cheryl: If your plagued by squash bugs, try covering your squash with floating row cover till they start to flower, remove it when flowering, and if they STILL come after the flowering starts, spray the plants with Spinosad. Works like a charm for me!
