just one of the many red squirrels that are here - they are cute and noisy
Edibles - '09 - Part 2
EEEEEK! (click) Nite light being turned on to ward off spawns of Satan. Had a little wake for the artichokes yesterday sigh.
too bad dnut i have two going - one real big the other struggling - my buddy has 5 of 7 seven i gave him last year coming back - he does not know it yet but i will get an articoke from him if they bloom!
That's great wha! I think 50% of production would be fair ^_^
well he gave me some hot peppers so i'll have to ask nice.
Are you telling me you were taken in by the small stuff????
they were peppers plants from vietnam.
Ahhhh good trade off.
The rain has made the tomatoes grow! (and the weeds) I have flowers on them!
mine are runts compared to those as well
wanted to show you guys the progress on my garbage can potatoes
butte
caribe.. sorry for the soil on them.. just filled them up
Gee, they look nice & healthy, Allison----good luck with them.
My veggies are still sitting next to the raised bed!
Cool onewish!
I haven't gotten mine planted either.
25 or 30 gallon garbage can???? normal skinny can from HD
tomatillo... I bought.. seeds from the swap did not germinate for me
:(
How many hours of full sun do you get there Allison? I just calculated for my sunniest spot, where I'm putting in my veggie bed: only 8 hours.
doing a slow burn here....slugs were victorious over the seedlings. But for some reason, they left all the hot peppers alone! Geez, now I can either start over with seeds, or, buy at the box stores.
I swear the slugs know how to high-jump over the bait.
There be toms ^_^
Stumpy watches over the buttercrunch. Have I mentioned I have thinning issues?
Red runner bean flower with unknown bug (hopefully a good guy bug)
D-nut how in the world do you have tomatoes already????
GH?
Yupper GH for toms and basils. And maybe someday artichokes sigh.
Finally got my veggies in the bed today!
Guilt?
My wife approved.
I have some cherry toms that look like they are starting to turn. And dare I say it... a couple of zucchini. Now you may be laughing, but I have had horrible success the last 2 years. So, this year I planted them aplenty. Now, watch, I'll have a bazillion!! I winter-sowed the zucchinis.
Good for you, Victor.
Paw paw.
The crazy ole cat says "Paw paw back at ya".
the sun will start to hit that spot where the cans & boxes are around 10 or so... and not stop until sundown... that slope is the only good sunny spot I have... too bad it's not flat for a veggie garden... and full of old tree roots.... going to take a long long time before those are gone....we were going to put a raised bed in the flat spot next to the house.. but with the self watering baskets we made... I didn't think it was necessary
heehee Victor
dnut tfruit already! - do you remove the first set of flower buds? i read somewhere that removing the first set makes the plant stronger - i did it this year - although with 50 plants setting flower buds at different times i propably hit a few twice - no more.
Nothing edible yet, but the pole beans are acting like the magic beans in Jack & the Beanstalk---tails are already up over the support I gave them---guess I'll give them more!
