Later Planting for Corn and Some Lettuce

By now I would have most if not all of the garden tilled at this time. I like tilling the entire garden in one or two days so that I can start planting seeds and transplanting most of my indoor plants outside. This season has not been typical and has been still too cool to place everything into the garden. This is good for my cool weather plants that I recently placed in the garden, but I am still trying to harden off all my others before placing them permanently into the ground.

Transplanted Squash, Cucumbers, and Melon Plants

I have been real busy this week trying to get as many plants into the ground as possible before the weekend.  I wanted to get my melons and cucumbers in the ground as soon as possible in order to get them growing faster right away.  They need some time to produce fruit and the quicker they are placed in the ground the sooner the harvest.

We also got some rain this week as well and that was definitely a good help for all my plants that were outside and in the ground especially my onions, lettuce, and spinach. (more…)

Tomatoes, Pumpkins, Zucchini, and Sunflowers Transplanted Into Garden

This has been a very busy memorial weekend especially for garden work that had to be completed this past week.  First of all with good weather it was time to begin transplanted the bulk of my plants that were ready to get out of their restricted containers.

I only was able to plant about half of the tomatoes that I grew inside because some of the later seeds that were grown are not ready to be removed from their pots.  I like to wait until the roots of the plant actually reaches the bottom of the pot and they wrap around all the soil.  This makes it easier for the plant to be removed and it will come out in one piece as you can see below.
