With spring crops ending with little left to pick it is time to move on to blueberries and other warmer weather crops. I am using a summer hybrid broccoli that is supposed to be able to withstand the warm hot summer temperatures. I plan on growing and harvesting them all season long making sure that they do not flower or go to seed. (more…)
Yesterday was a good day to get started planting my tomato seeds and hopefully some others as well. I did get all my tomato seeds planted in the usual containers that I use every season. Like all the other seasons I stuck with the tomatoes that worked: cherry, Roma, and steakhouse (beefsteak). (more…)
I would say about now is pretty much the end of the season and all that I need to do is some cleanup for next year. This week I picked the only two watermelons that I planted and some last cherry tomatoes that are still growing. I also had a few peppers that were perfect for picking. (more…)
I just spent about a week inside due to the weather that gave us plenty of wind and rain. I was able to pick what needed to be harvested before the storm, but I had many things that were ready during the end of this week. Today I took the time to pick everything that was ready for harvesting. This will include pumpkins, beans, an eggplant, peppers, and some tomatoes. (more…)
So far the real cool weather has not arrived and that means that I should still see production from some of the plants that are still left. For instance my beans are producing another set of beans and I should have a larger harvest than what was displayed today. (more…)
I still have Roma tomatoes to pick, but after today I am certain that there is not that many harvests these plants have left. I would say that the best fruit from these plants are done and with the largest harvest to date I would say this is the peak or end of my tomato season. (more…)
A quick update on what has been going on in the garden including all the Roma tomatoes I have been picking over the past couple of weeks. Some melons that are looking close to picking, steakhouse tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, peppers, and so much more. (more…)
So far I have picked plenty of cherry tomatoes, beans, and even corn over the past month. My corn is pretty much done for the season except for a couple of stragglers that will be harvested in the next couple of days or so. (more…)
This weekend was a good time to get some more fruits and vegetables from the garden. This Friday it rained pretty well and many of my plants needed it. After a rain is a good time to start picking as much as possible. Luckily I had plenty of vegetables that needed to be harvested and that is what I did between yesterday and today. (more…)
I have just started harvesting a few Romas here and there, but no significantly large harvest just yet. I think within the next couple of weeks I should begin picking many of them at one time and get started on making some delicious sauces out of them. (more…)
