How Does Your Garden Grow??????

A couple three days ago I took the camera to the sandhill garden in search of the obligatory first tiny squash picture. Sadly I was too late. (last night when I was spraying with BT I did see two tiny crook neck that would have fit the bill much better)

I really like how your yard is fenced and surrounded. Mine is pretty secluded as well. It's like being in your own little world.

:peace:
We have lot of nice time with family in this little yard. Crack a fire, some joints and playing all kind of camping games while looking at garden.... even with fence and intimity, my girfriend's father is still always here :wall:

Two day's harvest. Never done butternut before. We are looking at recipes now. Soup is coming up in the searches a lot.

Some pics I took the other day.

The peas didn't like the early heat a couple weeks ago. They are not filling out and the ones that are seem like end of season peas. I'm going to pick what I can, rip the plants out, and plant more beans.




Beets. Some are starting to bolt. They didn't like the 90° days we had a while back.



The reliable Siletz tomato is once again the first to start setting fruit.



The rest of the tomatoes are coming along. They should double in size the next 10 days with the good weather we are going to be having. The eggplant and peppers appear to be stunted for now but they should get into the groove this next week. I'm definitely going to be planting my seeds for starts later next year. I think they were stressed from being in the small containers and putting them out in the greenhouse when it was still rather cold at night.

I left some artichokes on the plant for the bees.



There's only about 20 peaches in the tree but my main concern was leaf curl which seems to be under control. There were only a few leaves with it that I removed. I'll be following the spraying regimen next year.



This will be the first year getting pears from this tree.

The crazy heat and drought tossed a tool box of monkey wrenches to me as well. Peonies bud blasted, peppers are less than perfect color, cuke starters are struggling and my beets are just trying to grow. Maters and sunflowers are loving it. My lillies, as well as the entire side of town are pale orange yellow. Hardest spring for plants I've seen in a long while. A good month behind you on my start. But I'm determined and coming on strong if we ever get some rain.

P.S. That fancy hose isn't so shiny to me anymore. Finds its way into cracks and gaps if not on . Grr! But truth. LOL.

I hate mine. And they don't coil up nicely without the water being turned on. When they don't have any pressure they just kink up when you try and coil them up.

My mother bought one of these. I think it will be my next hose purchase. But after using it for a while I'm sure I'll find something I dislike about it.

Starting to get a tomato and a couple of squash every other day.

Peppers need picking. Last week my cousin went to the tomato fields and came back with 5 gallons of Jalapeno. She brought us a bunch already cut in half with the seeds removed. So I'm slow walking the harvest of these until we get most of those used.

I just rescued 11 cantaloupe plants. Don't grow due to sq ft issues. Going vertical. 8' x 3' fence cylinder trellis. Any tips for me. I have most of the parameters down. Vert is my twist. TY.
I've never done this myself. . . . . . .But the old guy who gave me the WC Oranges grew beans on a pvc dome. 3 or 4 twenty foot sections set so you can sit on a bucket and pick beans hanging down. It was pretty cool. (it created it's own shade)

Had to ask. Squash looked nice. Surprised the vines held. Just another squash with melons pretty much. I'll sling them if needed.

A half circle of concrete fence about 8' high x 12' wide makes for amazing snap or sugar pea grows. Sold the house. No land and trying to go up to keep some grass and flowers.

Alright guys and gals, I finally built a 7x7 grow room. I have 5 more seeds coming so I will have 10 total in 7 gallon pots. Adjustable Double scrog net set up will be done soon at 4x4 squares I already have the frame up. I'm just waiting on 4 way connectors so each scrog is level, also waiting on my electric sky es300's to come in I got 4. Going with LST and topping to train and scrog. Also getting a small dehumidifier for the room. Looking for suggestions on how to make this room better and thank you for all suggestions!! Running 5 Gelato and 5 Exodus cheese.20210618_220648.jpg

I have hay string for them to climb on. But which ever is first to reach the panel above, the rest of them will climb on it.

I'm having issues with PM on my squash. As soon as I get most of the ones on there now ripe, I'm going to rip them out and put in something new. I've got more planted down at the field, and some sprouts in cups.

I grow mad cucumbers here. PM every fall. After I give up harvesting cukes and all are sick of them. @xtsho home mix worked better than expected. A few cut worms and borers still. Need to replenish my nematodes. And do I hate trying to get dry vines out of the fences.

Not be a "Richard". LOL. This is gardening. I accept yours as a garden. Looks like a nice start. Post on the general growing or design and set up for detailed help on those "gardens".

Peace and welcome.
