How Does Your Garden Grow??????

I had to chuckle at that last line. After May, we won't get rain until usually October. Maybe some summer thunder showers that are brief and just serve to bump the humidity.

Last year, I had my "best" pepper plants yet. They were in fabric grow bags, 15 gallon I think, planted 3 per. They weren't happy at first with the bagged soil used in the mix, but they started doing better eventually. I'll figure it out eventually...

I did a few in Walmart shopping bags in kiddie pools with 2" of water. They grew real fast, but I did run into support problems. We had bad storms, and lots of them broke they were so tall. I wasn't always punctual about keeping the water filled. So they did dry out a time or two.

Also peppers don't like soil as hot as tomatoes do. You should use a little more filler and a little less N.

I've got the same white wild flowers. But my grass is mostly centipede. And it's brown as hell right now.

You can tell your land is rich, and has plenty of water.

there are places where the coastal hay will grow 3-4 feet high if left unmowed

We had two hay fields of coastal. A little of it is growing by my pole barn where we used to feed the cows. That is some growing stuff. I've had it get so tall it fell over. It rained everyday one summer, and we couldn't cut it for a couple of months.

Got a 30x4 ft bed planted with two different onion and two different cabbages planted down the center. Plan on finishing off the center with spinach or lettuces.
I noticed someone a while back asking about hempy buckets outside. I cant comment on that but I can say I have had great results using the same 7 gal smart pots I do for my cannabis indoors and the used soil, outdoors for tomatoes and peppers in the summer.
Cheers

It can be dry here too. But last year it rained 21 straight days in June. It rained all the way through to late August, then not a drop in September or October. I can deal with just about anything if I can plan on it. It's the not knowing wtf is going to happen next that makes it rough.

I grow peas through the summer. Green beans are real heat sensitive, so none of them after about June. But I can grow a 2nd or 3rd crop of corn and melons if I keep them watered.

I let a few weeds grow. So the melons will have some shade. If in the direct sun, they will get sunburned before they get ripe.

I'm already watering my tomatoes twice a day. Getting into the upper 80's lower 90's already. As long as I can keep up with their water intake I should be harvesting all year on the Mortgage Lifters. They Indeterminant's

I may have mentioned that I had got one kiddie pool ready for transplant. Sunday and Monday are good days for that sort of stuff, so I will try to get it done then. I need to mix up a little more soil. It is barely to the top of the pots now. {3 Pruden's Purple, and 2 Brandywine}

looks like your tomato plant isn't digging the heat, water it more, and maybe stretch a shade over it till it perks back up
