Whats in your garden?

Just wandering how many other people set out gardens this year. I've got some of my stuff planted, but still have a ways to go. I'm not setting out any early corn, but I'm definately putting in some late corn. So tell us what you have and share some pictures if you want!

What I have as of today:

2 Big boy mater plants
2 Better Boys
1 Red Beefsteak (fried green maters specialty!)
3 cucumber plants
1 cayenne plant
1 jalepeno plant.

What else I will have set out if the ground will ever dry up:

A shitload of KandyKorn
A shitload of Peaches n'Cream
A decent amount of Field corn (fry it up in bacon grease....OOhhhhWeee!)
Maybe some silver queen(but I doubt it)
A canteloupe vine or two.
Possibly some Okra
...later on in the dawgdays of summer, greens. LOTS of greens!


I will try to get a picture of mine this week, and show my progression!

 

Theres nothing wrong with a small garden. Only gotta grow what you'll eat! Only reason I set out so much corn is people around here send each other stuff outta there garden a lot. I just like to have stuff to give back. Just the way this community operates I guess, but I love it

 

If I post whats in our garden the police will be there asap. so I'll let your minds wonder...

 

Your allowed to grow "greens"...

 

+1 on the alternative garden. After Mem. Day, I will plant 12 buckets of tomatoes.

 

I'm spending this year turning the yard over. It's a mess. I'm building a composter too. Once that stuff is done and next planting rolls around...I think I wanna try my hand a some hot peppers (habenaros, jalepenos) some squashes, and berries.

We are growing a Topsy Turvy crop of strawberries.

 

I have in the ground.


2x Strawberry Plants
3x Cherry Tomato Plants
3x Golden Bell Pepper Plants
1x Raspberry Bush
1x Blackberry Bush


Still in trays


2x Early Girl Tomato Plants
2x Early Yellow Squash
2x Red Bell Pepper Plants
3x Beefsteak Tomato Plants
10x Havana #503B Tobacco Plants


Did beans and peas last year, plants did OK, but didn't produce enough veggies in the numbers I planted. Couldn't get onions to take off, so I didn't bother this year. Gonna try to grow, cure and roll my own cigars this year. Should be a fun little project.

 

dirt

 

I grow bamboo and weeds. The former because it behaves exactly like the latter. Anything else, I'll kill it.

 

right now only potatoes, sweet banana peppers, cayenne peppers, better boy tomatoes...

in the next few weeks I'll plant yellow crookneck squash, zuchinni, cucumbers, eggplant, butternut squash, okra.....

had a fine crop of purple top turnips and curly mustard over the winter....

 

Fig Tree
Tomatoes
Radishes
Egg Plant
Lettuce (green and red leaf)
Spinach
Sunflowers
Cosmos

 

oh yeah that reminds me...

I have 2 fig bushes and a pomegranite bush....

along with a couple of blueberry bushes, which are hanging full....looks like a good blueberry crop this year

 

I have a very small garden - as I'm the only person who eats anything out of it. A 4'x6' plot that's full of strawberries and fenced in (rabbits eat everythere around here). I have 4 plastic pots that I put tomato plants in - usually Brandywine and a potpourri of other types. But I love the Brandywine tomatoes.

 

Onions
Okra
Sweet bananna peppers
string beans
tomatoes
hot bananna peppers
jalepeno peppers
egplant
cucumbers
cherry tomatoes
bell peppers

 

I just got a BUNCH of pink eye purple hull peas. Can't wait for this weather to pass so I can get em in the ground!

 

flowers.. lol thats it. we sometimes grow red peppers though.

 

This is my garden from last year.

cukes
zucchini
watermelon
cantaloupe
several varieties of tomatoes
green peppers
hot banana peppers
italian frying peppers
broccoli
basil

We change up the crops year after year. We plant cherry hot peppers, jalapeno's, tomatilla's, corn and whatever catches our attention when we go to the local green house for plants.

I have a water line buried from the house to the garden. All 6 of the boxes have a water valve plumbed to them. I have soaker hoses in each box, that way I am able to turn off the boxes as the different crops die off.
