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 yeah its amazing how quickly cherry tomatoes grow compared to bigger tomato varieties. My beefsteak are a fraction of the size compared to those. 3 months early was definitely a bit too early for cherries especially since I don't want to top them before I get them in the ground. I got my fish pepper seeds that you suggested planted last week, that's the last of my peppers I'm waiting on but nothing sprouting yet. Never was able to get paprika to sprout, hoping I can find some plants locally as I'm giving up on those.
I'm going to start selling my sweet potato slips in 2-3 weeks. It's like a jungle with those things. I put together two hanging baskets consisting of sweet potatoes, moonflower and black eyed susan that I'm giving for mother's day. I'm excited to see how they turn out.

One bucket done six more to go today. One watered and saturated.

Pepper seedlings I planted last week are mostly up. Some I planted almost a month ago haven't emerged yet. Sometimes it takes several weeks, other times the seeds just don't germinate for whatever reason. Time to do my jalapeno seeds in the next few days. I've found they grow faster than the cayenne peppers, which I have my lowest germination rates on every year. I haven't started any tomatoes yet either but I will soon. I want to get those in the ground at a smaller size this year. And cherry tomatoes just grow too fast - those only need 4 weeks before planting outside to grow.

So we roasted and froze some onions this year to put on sandwiches. They are excellent. They do not look the best these ones pictured here are still frozen. All we did is put them in plastic soup containers let them thaw on a sandwich for the next day, and they are delicious. Garlic with a nice smoky flavor. 

No such thing as too many carrots. They were the only veggie we ran out of this winter. 

 

Planted 100 onions mixed red, yellow and white.  Have room for 100 more so later this week will add those.
Also put in 8 horseradish plants.  Looking forward to fall of 2025.  But ​no rush

These are some of last year’s carrots that are still in afraid so so I gotta get this correct and spacing

Carrots strips getting set up.

Carrots and onions are planted. 4 different kinds of carrots, one I planted in a grow bag. We'll see how that goes but if BMR can grow them in a bucket I'm sure they'll grow in a grow bag.

Challenge accepted FLM! The carrot contest begins.
