Cherry tomatoes came first and now both of my Roma and steakhouse tomatoes are now on their way to a ripening pinkish red color. There are only a few of them changing colors, but soon the rest will follow. With plenty of sunshine they will turn much faster and will be harvested earlier. (more…)
It wasn’t going to be long to start picking peppers since the last post I wrote. I could have harvested them earlier, but there was no rush to pick any of them prematurely. Today felt like a good day to do some harvesting of a few of my vegetables. (more…)
There were two different harvests today that I was hoping to accomplish either yesterday or today. Luckily it was a good day and I was able to harvest the first pole beans and cherry tomatoes of the season. (more…)
I had some more cucumbers that were ready for some harvesting and they were a good size as well. I had a couple of large ones and a few average sized cucumbers that I could use for many different things. These were just cucumbers and pickles will be coming very soon and hopefully plenty of them. (more…)
I picked one cucumber this past Saturday, but I knew I would be picking more today so I decided to wait to write a post until I picked all the cucumbers that were ready. I also had some more zucchinis that were at the right size and decided to pick them as well. (more…)
It looks like I will be harvesting some fruits and vegetables soon in addition to the ones that I have already been picking. So far blueberries, lettuce, and peas have been harvested and most of my Spring crop is all but finished. I have picked a third harvest of blueberries and still more bushes need to be picked. (more…)
So far things are going good and plants are beginning to produce some food including both fruits and vegetables. There are some tomatoes and zucchini that are beginning to show themselves. These are the only two plants that will most likely start the summer harvesting season. (more…)
I got some tilling done yesterday which is mainly for the spring plants that I will be placing outside. Lettuce is one of those plants and the rest are going to be from seed. I will plant seeds of peas, radish, celery, and potatoes. (more…)
It looks like that it is that time already to begin planting the main part of the garden indoors. Starting indoors I find to be the best solution for getting ahead of the game. Although space is limited I am still able to grow quite a bit before Spring weather arrives. (more…)
Getting the most out of the garden is the most important part of gardening. This season I think I did just that with all the fruits and vegetables that I have picked and still harvesting. With the largest watermelon that I have ever grown I think I have definitely accomplished my objective.
I don’t have much vegetables left except for mainly my fall crops. I have been picking my kale lately and they are growing very large leaves which will make for some great kale soup this winter. I have been making sure to store them in order to use them later. (more…)
