Just picked my first beet to check the size (and eat it of course)
Late Feb Pictures of my garden
Here is some basils and greens in my new deck rail planter
My third planting of tomatoes this season. These were the ones I did the test on (no transplant test).

Ploe beans climbing up my screen
My two carrot bushes. One a Earthbox and the other is a E-bucket
This is my new wheel barrel that I hydrate the 11 lb blocks of coconut coir in. Sweet I drilled 2 holes in the bottom and bought some ruuber plugs, so after I hydrate the coir, I pull the little plugs and let the water drain out. Super sweet

Devota thinks your garden is magnificent. Isn't it amazing how much you can grow in a small area??
It truly is, and now I'm doing more vertical gardening and will really see how much i can grow
BocaBob
Bob, WOW...DOUBLE WOW! So great to see all your wonderful produce in all the different containers....container gardening ROCKS, can I get an amen? LOL
Please do tell where you got that magnificent wheelbarrow. All I've seen locally are the standard old fashioned metal ones.
My neighbor gave it to me. It's quite old, and she doesn't remember where her Deceased husband bought it.
One more. Just had to pick some oops wrong pic
There we go
Proof is always a picture away. Here I planted 2 carrot seeds in a net pot(of course you wouldn't plant carrots for transplanting), but see how the roots busted the net pot so they could grow. Cool, huh?
Aw, Bob....darn it....any chance you can see a brand name or model on the handle or somewhere so I can google to see if I can find one? LOL, always something I want....
Bob, All looks very nice. You are definitely getting this gardening thing down. Where do you go from here?
Jerry
There is no stopping me. The reason why: It's my hobby !!!!!!
Bob, I love you man....
Karen, I was gonna say that.
Bob: No wonder we havent heard from you in a while, you been a busy beaver, and what beautiful veggies you have also. I love that eggplant, I have 6 lavender touch ones planted but am only being hopeful, as eggplants are supposed to be very difficult o grow. I posted some new pics on my pics thread, my tomatoes plants are getting huge now, have had to raise the lights twice this week already.

Nice growing Bob! I'm at downtime just now until the construction here is completely finished as the dust is still to great for me. Even my roses have dust on them but will be able to start up again sometime in March or April 15th at the latest as that is their completion date and then I shall be free at last! Sound familiar?? LOL
TPlant and Bob: Just posted my pics from today under Pics and questions in this forum, there are 4 new ones, can you two go take a looksee and tell me if they look okay so far to you? I only have about 30 of them left out of 43.
joy
I already have and am very pleased to see you posting your pictures as it does make it easier for us to give advice when you ask for it! Your plants are doing very well and am interested in following your success>>>
Bob you are making my mouth water
The pic didn't move It is of the ripe tomatoes

darkmoondreamer This one is on sale at Menards ale good Feb. 15 thru Mar 1
www.menards.com
OMG I want a Menards! Did you see the price on the deluxe greenhouse heated 72 cell tray? 19.00!
You could have a mountain lion lurking in that carrot jungle. By the way.....for juicing, what would be the best tomato and carrot? Anyone?
I am looking forward to all that vertical growing stuff Bob. As you know by now, that's where my heart is.
I think I planted my stuff too soon, ran into an old friend today at Wally world where I was looking for something, anything to serve as pots for my maters, and she told me that we always get one good last frost the end of March. There you have it, can't plant out til April and look at my maters, another friend of mine says they'll be waist high by that time. LOL
I have a portable greenhouse and a portable heater, problem is; my electric outlet on the outside of the house doesn't work, hasn't for as long as I can remember and I have no idea how to fix it???? Don't mind paying someone to do it if I could find someone??? Everyone I ask looks at me like I'm nuts.
