With lower temperatures arriving and less sunlight in the daytime plants are beginning to finish off the season with the last production of fruit. Broccoli, brussel sprouts, and kale will continue through the fall and the rest will be done by the first frost of the season sometime in the near future. Right now I can still harvest some fruits and vegetables such as beans, pumpkins, and some melons that are done growing. (more…)
I have been picking all of my tomatoes for the past month with the cherry tomato plants continuing to produce with flowers and tons of fruit. Last week I had picked over three hundred cherry tomatoes from just one harvest. I thought that was a lot until today when I happened to pick just under 500 of them! The funny thing is that there are still many plants out there with many more cherry tomatoes to pick. (more…)
For the past couple of weeks I have been picking blueberries until the season is over for them. At the moment there are still plenty of berries left even though I have picked over ten pounds of them from this year’s harvests. Soon there will be harvests from my corn, zucchini, tomatoes, and possibly pumpkins and melons. (more…)
Just wanted to give a quick update on my garden progress so far. This week I purchased both yellow and red onions that are to be planted in totes outside. The weather has been getting somewhat warmer, but it is still too cold to start tilling the garden. (more…)
It was about time that I start planting some more seeds especially melons, eggplants, and peppers. These plants need to be started early with their long maturing process. I like to plant them before the month of April and the end of the month is right around the corner. (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…)
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…)
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…)
I was hoping to get as many plants into the garden as possible today, because there is going to be some rain coming very soon. I find it is best to get them into the garden quickly so they can adjust quickly to the soil and get some free rain with it as well. (more…)
