How Does Your Garden Grow??????

[too larry]

I caught another coon. Gave this one to the BIL to train his dogs. Missed on one last night. The trap was shut, but he had got out. It's a el cheapo tractor supply co live trap, so. . . .

Didn't get a picture, but the grapes are starting to turn. I may have to sleep out there to keep the coons away.

Arm cukes and the crimson sweet melons are up. Nothing else yet.

Cherry tomato growing failed since no time to care of it, they are going to die without lighting care

Dinner last night from the garden that went with a couple New York steaks for myself and the lady.

Green beans

Salad

Zucchini that I sauteed with some Walla Walla onion from the garden.

Made some blueberry cobbler for desert from these giants. These Chandlers get really big.

I'm going to have to eat more salad because the lettuce is getting ready to bolt.

I had to pull the Walla Walla's because of the weather. A couple started to split on the outer rings because of the rain so I pulled them. Not very many but enough for the two of us. They don't store like other onions and only last a few weeks. I see onion rings in the near future.

I am making a few cherry tomatoes. But the three big Pruden's Purple tomatoes in the kiddie pool all cashed. I have some more in pots. Need to rig up a raised bed to put them in.

I picked a few peppers today. The wife was going to make some salsa for lunch, but ran out of time. She did stir up a little something something though. https://www.rollitup.org/t/fittin.991805/#post-14986047



Most of the seeds are up. Will pull up old squash and cucumbers when they get ready to go in the ground. Melons too. The corn, peas and green beans are already on the compost pile.

IKR? Something so simple, yet... Nothing beats a Havahart. Kinda like Victor mousetraps.

Sounds good there, hope all good harvest then.

Everything but the spaghetti squash, okra, peppers and tomatoes are either pulled up or mowed. Got the Armenian cucumbers transplanted. 8 hills of 2 plants each where the others were. Well on two sides. The tomatoes adjacent have gone wild, so I didn't plant on the third side. {I was able to double up the soaker hose. It's buried on each side of the plants}




And also put in 5 hills of 2 each on the west side of the mushroom compost pile. I planted 1 there 3-4 weeks ago, and I'm still having trouble remembering to check them often enough. I've heard of cool as a cucumber behind the wheel. . . . .

I'm eating a couple of three grapes everyday. They taste like Welsh's grape jelly. Concord?

I like eat the grapes especially this time summer hot days, just put them into refrigerator for few minutes then take out, it's really cool.

Anyone have a remedy for this? Don't want it to get worse

I had fried green tomatoes the other day now it time for some vine ripened ones.

Wrap it tight with tape.

The beans are coming into full swing. I'll likely be canning next week.

The cucumbers are loaded with babies.

I'm going to need to get the gourds strung up properly pretty soon.

The corn is at least eight feet tall and cobs are forming. This is a variety I got from Ed Hume seeds, a seed provider from the area that only sells what's known to do well in this region. I ended up ripping some other corn out that was only a couple feet tall and putting out tassels. It was some heirloom variety. From now on I'm just growing Ed Hume varieties. Everything from Ed Hume grows well here.

I have three giant pumpkin vines and they are growing fast.

Those green beans look great. The heat in May cashed mine. I made less than a dozen beans, all ate in the garden.

I'm glad I put the spare cucumber in the mushroom compost pile. It's keeping me in cucumbers until the young ones catch up.
