Helps to be able to get an early start here...usually the weather cooperates. The tomatoes are luscious this year, last year wouldn't have given a plugged nickel for the whole lot. The weather turned off cool at wrong time and they never recovered. Happy gardening!!!
At his point I would have to cry zone envy but every time it gets hot here like today 78 I think those places that are way ahead of me get really hot weather, snakes,
twisters, floods, snow on the ground for months on end, so I guess I really have it pretty good here. Do like the idea of growing peaches and melons and some of the stuff you do so like someone told me just make do with what you have and be happy. Ernie
I'll trade you an earthquake for one of my peach trees.....: )
Daisy ok your on but only if you can tell me with a stright face it won't get leaf curl. Ernie
BWAHAA!
You guys have had lil' tremors up there anyways! Whats a little curl???
I will take a smallish volcano for a bing cherry...
I was delayed in planting this year and bought most of my seedlings (due to moving into a new house and establishing a new garden).
I've been eating peppers, squash and blueberries, but that's it so far.
On the way:
Tomatoes - about 10 varieties, mostly heirlooms
Pole beans
Edamame
Potatoes - All Red and a blue one I forget the name of
More Peppers
Watermelon - Sugar Baby
Shallots
I'm also establishing some fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries and grapes, but they take a few years to produce (berries next year, I hope).
I'll be planting chard, broccoli, peas, lettuce, carrots and leeks when the weather cools down later on this summer.
Talk about zone envy. Here in zone three, I'm barely eating lettuce and spinach. Radishes are gone. Nothing else is even close. My sqashes and cukes have flowers, but just barely. Haven't seen hide nor hair of my pototoes yet. Corn and beans are ankle high. I interplanted them this year to see if the beans will wind up the corn. I hope so!
Raspberries are flowering. I have big beautiful thornless raspberries the size of my thumb joint, and when they're in, I'm the envy of the neighborhood. I'll just have to get my gardening thrills vicariously for a few more months.
Leisurlee I did that thing with the beans and corn once about thirty five years ago. Which raspberry do you have sounds great how is it's production?
Wow just looked close at the cauliflower it is snow white and huge. Ready now enough to give away more on the way. Ernie
