2024 Garden Thread

Well, I never pulled the pepper plants, and they're the gift that keeps giving!

We just had another round of stuffed peppers last night and garden grown is seriously so much better!

 Those are solid looking peppers, Squeegee must have left you some good soil

New garden is doing well.  Only issue is the birds and bugs eating the fresh shoots sprouting from the seeds.



I do have a fence now to keep out some of the bigger critters... hopefully.  If nothing, it at least looks nicer.  lol





Ed's wife (My old woodworking neighbor who passed away) gave me some California history.  Apparently, this was part of an old historic water tank that came down in central California.  He made some pieces out of it, but I decided to leave it as is and put a weathervane on it.  It looks good in the garden.



Well, I'll keep the p[ictures coming as it progresses.

Oi, meanwhile I gotta take my dead coleus off my porch...germinate some fresh ones maybe...your backyard is looking tidy and plentiful! I smelled that nice fresh topsoil smell in the courtyard today, once again wishing I had more room to play in the dirt.

The veggies are just starting to take off now there's some sun out!

What a difference 2 weeks make! 







Also, something's been digging int the garden and eating all my zucs and squash....  That and a few gophers found the yard apparently.

[Tim524]

Your garden looks great, I'm off to a late start this year but I should have it planted this coming weekend. The gophers are tearing up my front lawn so it's time to wage war again !!

Garden is looking killer Tom, good job

Picked a broccoli yesterday.





That a green Head!

Garden is still going.  Everything seems a little bit slow this year, but we are getting regular harvests so that makes me happy.  Lots of stuff is still ripening.

[Latimeria]

Weekly harvests are commencing.  My tomatoes are taking a long time even if I am getting a couple a week, but the Zukes, Carrots, Green Beans and onions are going nuts!





The multi-color carrots are trippy, but really good!

[Latimeria]

The garden all of a sudden decided to start kicking out more veggies than I can handle.  I even delay planted stuff so it wouldn't be done all at one, but the plants must talk to each other.

Just a quick 5-minute pick because I ran out of room.

You have an impressive green thumb Tom!! I've been focusing on fruit trees and dragon fruit.

[Tim524]

 Your garden is really producing, Tom !

My corn is liking the heat and is doing well, it's ready so I picked 5 dozen yesterday. We ate some, vacuum packed some and gave some to the neighbors.


Peppers are thriving too, just waiting on the Bells to get a wee bit bigger before picking.



I have about 20-25 dozen ears of corn to pick in the next week, corn for breakfast, lunch and dinner  ha ha

Happy Harvesting !!
