I would tell them you would give them extra if they would finish up and get those trucks out of there once and for all. lol
Will Be Setting - up My EBs Soon AS Weather Allows? Part II
Won't be till Spring!
You deserve an award for patience, thats for sure.
Paw,
I got news for you -- I actually TAPED a snapped mater vine back together, and it fused and grew. It snapped completely in two...
Your protegee,
Gymgirl
Early morning pickings.
BocaBob
ooooops Forgot the pic
Oooohhh, MAJOR zone-envy.
Beautiful veggies. Which of your systems produced these?
Thanks CCG- 5 gallon grow bags with coco coir did the job.
BocaBob
Bob those veggies are so beautiful.

Thanks joy- it's all in the coconut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what variety cukes are those, sorry if someones already asked and I issed it.
Hi gardenglory, the long one is called Manar and the short ones are Corona. They are greenhouse seedless cukes from Holland. All female and no pollination needed at all. About $1.00 a seed but well worth it.
BocaBob
Ok, I'm about to join this party!!! Here are my EB greens all lined up in a row on my scaffolding. Left to right in the five boxes are: Collards, Mustards, Collards, Mustards and Lettuce.
And, closeups. Smile pretty! Mr. & Mrs. Lettuce. Um, I need ya'll to tell me when to start picking these crops. I can see they grow from the center, so can I start picking some of the outter leaves on the lettuce? The collards and mustards haven't made a double layer just yet, so I think I'll need to wait awhile. LMK soon, cause these lettuce leaves in my salad would work wonders for my Weight Watchers' program!
P.S. We're getting a cold snap in the next two nights and the greens should love it. Between 34-37 degrees Sunday and Monday nights.
two Purple leaf Mustards growing in a 24" planter. I think I shoulda planted just one in there, 'cause they're gonna get big!
Some broccoli in a 24" planter.
A Curly Leafed Mustard in a 24" planter.
Malabar (Climbing) Spinach in 14" planters.
Some other veggies, too! Carrots in a deep planter, last year's cabbage that wouldn't die, Swiss chard and collards in an eBucket
Ok, I received my seeds from Johnny's (finally!) I have more carrots, some purple top turnips, and the all-important BEETS! Here's the EMPTY Trellis bed with the rich decomp leaves , Black cow composted? manure, and coffee grinds. Could someone please educate me on sowing the seeds, please? Do I just dig some shallow straight-line trenches and sprinkle the seeds in? How many lines would you recommend from front to back of this trellis? Thanks, ya'll!
Gymgirl: Oh those are just beautiful. I'm too scared to try greens, don't you have to be a good gardener for those? I still got a long way to go before I can do that.

Gymgirl - Great looking greens!!!!!!!!!!! I just picked my first 2 heads of Georgia Collards and had them for diner last night. Nothing like it, so tender!!!! Keep it up girl
BocaBob
Gymgirl -- Aren't there instructions on the package pertaining to planting space? One thing about Johnny's they do take their time shipping but they do have great products.
Thought that I would start to show my results and am very pleased so far. These are the Oregon State University plants that I refer to OSU. Thy are doing very well and I anxiously await for the first crop.
This is a Mama Leone that I'm growing for my part-time chef son to make his own sauce.

Man, those are beautiful plants, Tplant! Did you acquire these as seeds from OSU, or as plants, and how did you get them?
I'm just dreaming about next summer. Not jealous or anything. Oh no. (Sob)
It is a duplicate of the previous . Darn?

Hillbilly on left and Chapman on right. I grew more than one Chapman as they are good eating.

Holy tomatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Is the watering system making a diference? Can you show anything growing right now in coco coir? or the 5 gallon grow bag or the layflat bag?
BocaBob
Two Black Cherry. A great improvement from my last batch whereas I could not even get the seed to germinate and those that did were very weak plants.

Bob -- The coir bags are still very young although doing very well are small but I have not yet planted my additional OSU and Chapman seedlings as of yet as it will be another couple of weeks before I can show anything in the coir except for my Bush Beans which should be on the vegetable thread but this is the self contained thread and is not specific to any one type of veggie so I will.
Bocabob -- On the left side of this shot, not clearly shown and really not in view, is the young garden that was started only two weeks ago so as anxious as you are to note the results (LOL) I can not rush nature! I have two empty EBs filled with coir for the OSU and Chapman plus two twenty gallon containers for the two Don Juan roses, also to be filled with coir, that I bought yesterday that I hope to plant today along with your irrigation system. They will be planted by my deck upfront where I sit in the morning and have my coffee. This is the area that I will be working today and setting the irrigation for my seven additional roses. Should save me a lot of work except for fertilizing.
Here you can see the waiting area down at the end and that is where all will be planted when ready.
Just a shot of the rest. Will name them latter.
All looks great T-Plant.
BocaBob
TPlant: Looks to me you got a veggie forest there going on. LOL What is in the terra cotta planters? The ones that look like regular planters? Just out of curiosity.

Big difference from 11/1. I was concerned as they were late getting out and were not up to my usual quality but they did recover rather quickly and I know that BocaBob's watering system had a lot to do with it as the weather was abnormally hot for the past two weeks.
