Gardening Thread - Show me your gardens!

I agree!! so how many tomato's does it take to fill that pot? We were thinking of doing that with ours but I dont know if we'd have enough.

I havent tried this but figured it prob would work. Those peas look edible? Prob not where you wanted them to grow but they look good.

 

http://homeguides.sfgate.com/corn-plant-development-weeks-64881.html looks like our garden corn is on week 9-10

 

Shhh.

It's 'maters. I swear. Just funny lookin' 'maters.

 

We had a slow start but things are catching up, Im pretty happy with our first year in this plot....so far we've got 2, 5 gallon buckets of green beans. We gave a couple grocery sacks of them away but the rest we blanched then froze and have the second bucket waiting to be blanched and frozen. I think I will actually have corn, I just have to keep an eye on it. Tomatos are coming up quick. had and have eaten numerous cukes. zukes and squash didnt/arent doing so good, the plant looks good...just the zukes arent that great. Cabbage was good. Carrots and onions are doing good.

 

Very nice looking veggie garden.

 

Very nice.

My peppers are finally starting to take off with this heat. Beans, I'm about sick of them, starting giving them away already.

I'm probably going to can some this weekend. Jalapeños are huge.

 

Currently in a rental, so we are limited to containers, once we buy I'll do a proper garden. So far we've pulled off roughly 4 dozen tomatoes and a dozen and a half jalapeños and a dozen anaheims. Planted some seranos and bells late but they are coming around pretty well.

 

yeah we are getting over run with them right now. I told my wife to start giving them away and she didnt want to, now we have a bunch we need to freeze and she wanted to give them away! I said no you wanted to keep them..we just snap/blanch/vacu pak and freeze...takes less time than canning. Unless you do dillybeans...which is only processing time.

 

We decided on no canning this year. I burnt myself out that last few years. I was going to do peppers, but the plants aren't doing well, so I'm just giving them away to people that enjoy them.

 

It take a lot of time canning...good outcome, just when you are busy its a pain to lock up a whole day to can stuff.

 

I am here seaking help. My Cuban Gold Durantas aka shrubs are infested with white flys. I have tried the local organic pesticide but it did not work. Anyone have suggestions?

Here's a few of the fruits that we grow on our farm in southern Georgia: Blue berries, satsuma oranges, peaches, and wild black berries. We also grow pears, muscadine grapes, plums, and figs. It's great to pick and eat them at peak ripeness right off the tree. Beats whole foods any day!

 

I like muscadine jelly...I dont think they can grow up in this climate though...My black berries have just been growing vines this year....I planted them last year and had few berries the first year and this 2nd year they are just vines so far....

 

I throw a little fertilizer early spring on a few selected patches of the wild black berries and it really pays off with a good yield come harvest time in June.

 

yeah I dont know, its been a screwy year for us...they prob grew 3' of vine this year. I did sprinkle some fertilizer IIRC...I only planted 4 maybe they will do something in the next couple months...

 

Lots of time. My jalapeño plants only produced like 5-6 huge ones so far, and isnt looking good as of today. I normally will do those for my dad. Wonder if we've had too much rain for them.

 

it was cold wet spring so it didnt get the ground heat like usual...Ours are just starting to catch up.

 

High of 68 and two inches of rain here today! I dont think mine are going to catch up.

 

wow...we havent had rain since June 15...
