Pole Bean and Carrot Sprouting Along With Transplanting Eggplants and Cucumbers

This week has been kind of slow mainly because of the rain we have been receiving which is greatly needed.  When July comes along their will usually be none or very little rain.  I like to take advantage of this type of weather to take a slow rest because once the sun comes out the weeds will start growing throughout the entire garden.

Before the rain came I wanted to get my eggplants into the ground so that they can easily take advantage of this rain that they need.  I actually planted them much later than last year, but last year I did not have any transplants.  I had planted them in the garden from seed, which is why I did not get much fruit.

Garden Update: Peppers, Melon, and Another Row of Corn Planted

A couple days ago during a nice warm day I wanted to get in the garden another row of corn and some transplants that I wanted to get out of the way.  So far I have been adding a row of corn every five days and I only have about ten feet of planting space left.  Once I am done with the corn and all the seeds have sprouted I can then remove the bird netting that is protecting my seeds.

First Outdoor Planting

Today I planted the first seeds of bush beans and corn into the garden.  It was a cloudy day but it still was warm enough to get them into the ground.  I didn’t plant an entire row instead I just planted the first set of corn and with some extra room I planted some bush beans.

I wasn’t planning on growing bush beans because I wasn’t sure I would have extra room.  What I did was plant them at the end of where my pole beans are going to go because there is plenty of room in this area.  Basically where the pole beans end are where the bush beans will begin. (more…)
