How Does Your Garden Grow??????

I replanted the acorn and spaghetti squash. Also planted sunflowers in the green bean skips. Which are getting bigger everyday. {the skips, not the beans. They are dying}

The wife called and my trellis netting is in. Also my bug bivvy. I really need to walk somewhere and sleep under a tarp.

the afternoon garden, not much light till after noon, then they get it the rest of the day
crookneck squash, and a replacement cuke
miniature egg plant
pepper replants garlic is doing good, my pumpkins, butternut squash and watermelons aren't doing so great, but they've improved a lot over the last week, i'll see what they do in the next few weeks
tomatoes are finally stating to grow. this spring sucked, rain all day every day for a damn month
was about to give up on these cukes, but looks like they're finally doing something
strawberries are doing ok, hope they put out another run soon. basil and oregano are slow, but going. the onions don't like that spot i guess, have to find them a sunnier spot next year.
this little bush was stunted by the weather, and still is producing a ton of peppers, got another one started, wonder how many i'll get off of a plant thats not stunted all to hell

Spotted my first Armenian cucumber today. I hand pollinated it, so hopefully it takes.

They grow fast. Mine was the size of yours just a few days ago. I'm picking it tomorrow, ready or not.

Check out how much taller the New Mexico Chili is next to the others.



A few are about ready.

I found out you need to pick Indian broad beans when they are young and tender. I had taken some up to my little old lady gardening buddy who had gave me the seeds, so I could ask her if they were ready. She wasn't there, so I didn't get to ask her. That was Tuesday, and I didn't get around to picking them until this morning. The wife cooked some with potatoes. They were real good, just the older ones were a good source of fiber.

I saved a few for seeds, but picked everything else.

Cool. I'm always astonished at how fast cukes grow. Can't wait to pick, and summarily eat, this one.

Blooms and small peas on the 2nd pea patch. The old patch is ready to be mowed along with the corn and green beans. Then I'll till it and plant something else.

No picture, but I saw a small cucumber on the pickle bush cukes. I got most of them mulched today.

Messy cuz I haven't run the edger for a while, it's been 90°+ heatwave for a week here, (I'm not going to die just to whack weeds!) ..it's really hurrying the tomates along tho!

.. the basil's doing okay now, not enough for a pesto yet but getting there, had a slow start with all the rain this spring

Damn moles are killing my beefsteak tomato plants

these are recommended by the county ag agent, he says they work great

I am a pretty crappy outdoor grower. I have some stuff in containers on the deck, no real place to plant a proper garden here. Posting this so I'm subbed to the thread, will post some pics later.

man the weather has been awful this year, but it's finally looking better, got my first roma tomato today, the rest are finally perking up and growing, the cucumbers have flowers and little cukes on them, the peppers are perking up, maybe it won't be such a bad year in the garden after all
dunno what that leaf is from, just thought it was cool

Some squash zucchini and squash tomatoes and eggplant

i did roma tomatoes last year and did really well with them.. had a ton and a half of them.. i didn't find any this year, so obviously not growing any sadly..
the heat has been brutal this summer around here, and been pretty dry the last few weeks.. my one cucumber plant's not looking great, but everything else is looking good.. my first year in a long time doing eggplant as i've never had much luck with them, and holy crap, they seem to be growing great for me.. umm, i watched some stupid video on a garden channel, and dude said to top the pepper plants to get more fruit from them, so i tried his advice.. probably should have waited a bit longer before topping them.. oh well, live and learn, but they seem to be doing good.. got a few cucs and grape tomatoes already..

Looks like I need to mix up some BT and spray my tomato plants down. Second one I've found in as many days...if there's one hornworm, there's more.

the corn field and the pumpkin field from june 17th

some of the corn in 6 feet high now

the pumpkin field is 100% green. the vines are starting to invade neighboring gardens
