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.

FLM - do you prestart your zinnias inside in spring? Do you have any annual flowers you grow that you can direct seed into the ground? I envy all the gardens with flowers in them. I did plant some sunflowers this weekend, but they won't flower until September. 

PS - check those potatoes for potato bugs, mine showed up in full force this weekend. Neem oil and hand picking does the trick. 

I finally have all 4 of my gardens planted and the flowers I place around 2 of them.  Some of the flowers did not look good when I was planting them.  I waited too long on some of the flowers I bought 3ish weeks ago and they were extremely root balled.  They might perk back and if not, it's just flowers! I have over 50 of them planted so the bees will find something they like!  Only flowers I have left to plant now are zinnias and a few perennials that are finally big enough to plant.  Perennials take quite a while to get bigger!

Picked a couple days worth, they're starting to bolt so might only get one more picking. 

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!
