Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

My mason bees have now all emerged and they filled back in an additional 3 boxes so I have 6 in total filled up for next year

 

that's huge man.. how much would you harvest per stalk?

 

Most had 2-3 ears iirc. Around 7-9" each. It was the best stand of corn I've grown. I walked through it when it was tassled out and shook the plants to release all the pollen. Very few of the ears weren't completely full.

 

Well at least they're not underwater, then.

 

Grew that beauty back in '42

 

probably stuck a straight nitrogen I.V. in it

 

Nope! No flooding in my neck of the woods.

They're loving the rain tho

 

Yap I think it was a special strain he developed

 

don't remind me stoopid bees are destroying my arbor why have a box for them? What purpose do the bees serve? I've never seen the ones here around any flowers

ok, nevermind.... I'll build them a nest so maybe they'll leave my arbor alone.....

 

OK, now sit down and listen carefully...



... and that's where food and babies come from.

 

They're poliinators

 

Its still possible to freeze into May hereso we havent really done anything yet..

 

it was in the 80's here and now in the 50's to 60s

 

We finally planted our garden last weekend. Maters, peppers, cukes, squash, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and celery. Also got my rainwater "system" up and running (330 gallon tote collects from roof, pump to two 55 gallon drums on stands at garden, water with a hose). Sure beats carrying 30 gallons to the garden every afternoon in buckets.

 

Attaboy. More people need to take advantage of rainwater.

 

Built this few weeks ago, and can't wait to get out of the 'burbs so we can have a real garden.



We have tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, squash, zucchini, onions, and watermelon

 

Nothing wrong with a burb garden. When I was renting an apartment it was ground floor, so I dug up the yard right next to the steps and put in a few tomato plants and peas, lol.

 

Nice! We have a HUGE lot and I could easily plant a real garden, but we will be selling hopefully within a year and decided against it. I grew up in deep east Texas out in the country where my nearest neighbor was multiple miles away, so living in the DFW metroplex drives me nuts

 

Yeah, that was our first house for us. We bought it as a flip, so I just had a pair of garden beds in the back yard. When we bought the new house the plan was to be there for a while, so I went crazy and put garden beds everywhere, lol.

Ye Olde Apartment- the peas are visible on the left of the door. I may also have built a screen door into my apartment and not mentioned it to the landlord

 

That's funny and awesome
