Vegetable Garden

Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

More strawberries and mint!

Mint water is crazy good for your gut!

What did you shoot that gopher with J4I?

Looks like he got waxed with some bird shot!

I planted the last of my onion sets and some herbs today. Everything else seems to be doing good. Cherry tomatoes are starting to get some fruit and they are all looking really good. I have been pinching flowers off the tomatoes and peppers since I planted them a couple weeks ago. Think I might stop on the bigger plants soon.

Carpio, my squirrels have a friend too. It‘s called a pellet gun.

Yeah, I have psycho squirrels that dig up plants every year. So I always have 1 backup for each variety.  If I don't need them, I give them to family or friends.  Also chipmunks like to eat my newly sprouted green beans. I plant twice as much as I need and thin them out. 

Threw up some tomato cages for the higher growing varieties today. Sometimes they get 9 ft tall

My problem again is with squirrels.   They come up on my patio and dig in the tomato plants.    I tried planting flower bulbs but they dug them up and ate them.    I do have a squirrel that’s a friend though, some kind of small red one that chases the greys out of the yard and doesn’t dig.    It’s really fast and fidgety.

Got one of the pocket gophers raising havoc in my garden! 

Looking good!

I have a small herb garden on my deck with basil, oregano, thyme, , marjoram and mint. I start most of those from seed but the mint i just buy one plant a year and plant it in that planter, which holds about 7 or 8 gallons of soil in it. Since it cant get a good root system established into the ground, it doesnt survive the winter. I've never had anything come back that lives in there,so I just plant every year! Works for me, plants are cheap!

I plant me mint in 1 or 2 gallon fabric grow bags and buried them even with the soil line. They don't dry out quick and don't needmuch water. After 3 years the roots were still contained. But I dumped them out and started some new plants because them pot turned to all roots. Still have plants coming up every year in the old spot that I pull out right away.
