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…)
I didn’t think I would pick as much pole beans as I did today. The pole beans are thriving and there are plenty more of them on all the vines. There were so many that were close to being picked, but instead I decided on leaving them there for the next harvest which should come sometime next week or at the end of this one.
I even had many tomatoes that were ripe for the picking. They would include all three types. Steakhouse, Roma, and cherry were are all in the peak of the harvest season. (more…)
Today I started another phase of vegetable planting that was needed due to some seeds not sprouting at all. One thing that I would like to point out when growing plants inside is that you need to have patience. This is something that I lack when it comes to growing any type of plant and it is one element that can help you in your own gardening.
Everything that I place under the lights usually takes about half the time that it would usually take if I had placed them in a windowsill. Some plants I start with the lights some I don’t. For instance the flowers I planted earlier in the season were started right in the windowsill. Along with them were the sunflowers, watermelon, and tomatoes. Everything else used the fluorescent lights which are a great help. (more…)
