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…)

Eight Tomatoes Transplanted and Bean Trellis Built

Now that it is the middle of May and the weather is averaging in the high 60’s to low 70’s it is time to start transplanting.  I have only done my tomatoes so far and have dug holes for all of the plants that I have growing outside.

I transplanted eight tomatoes today and will do the rest of them over the weekend.  I wanted to place the ones that were starting to get root bound into the soil first before they start to get ill and dry out too fast in the hot sun. (more…)

Transplanted Flowers, Herbs, and Some More Tomatoes

Setting flowers into the garden is best done at the same time that you are planting everything else.  Usually I tend to plant them once I get all the other vegetables and fruits set into the ground.  They will take some time to produce the blooms that you need to attract bees and insects.  The summer is where you should see them flowering and continuous blooms will come.

As previously stated I had some tomatoes grown inside after the first batch had begun sprouting or didn’t sprout.  I have added them into the garden and now I only have just a couple of more left that will soon go out probably by next week at the latest.  I also have a few more flowers that will go into the garden as well.

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.
