I haven’t harvested much this season at the moment, but there are many more things that are getting ready for harvest time. Tomatoes are producing flowers, beans are climbing the ropes, lettuce is flourishing, and broccoli is next on the list. It is almost the peak of garden season and in about a month I should be harvesting the bulk of the fruits of my labor. (more…)
So Far I have only harvested a couple of fruits and vegetables this season including strawberries which I discussed in a previous post and peas which I happened to harvest this afternoon. It was only a small harvest, but it is definitely enough for at least one meal. There are plenty of peas left on the plants that suggest that many more harvests are to come. (more…)
It looks like the very first harvest of the season comes from my strawberries and radishes. It is the month of June and since these are June bearing strawberries it makes sense that they would be ready during this month. Radishes could have been picked earlier, but I still get some good sized vegetables from yesterday’s harvest. (more…)
With warmer weather arriving it was time to start planting some of the last flower plants into the garden. There are only about a dozen flowers or so that I have left to add and this should be done sometime this week at the latest. Many seeds that I have planted since the last post have begun to sprout including sunflowers, squash, and even cucumbers. (more…)
It looks like this might be a long post since I have not written one in quite awhile and I want to keep you up to speed with my garden progress. I have not planted everything into the garden just yet, but I only have a few more seeds and transplants left. I plan on finishing this week, weather permitting of course. Let’s get into what has been going on in my garden. (more…)
It has been awhile since the last post and I have been real busy with planting new seeds, making rows, digging up soil, and even began transplanting many plants as well. Let’s get into what has been going on in the garden up until now. (more…)
With weather and temps warming up it was about time to remove the straw from all my strawberry plants and do a little bit of weeding as well. All the plants survived the winter and most of them are growing well and hopefully will start producing flowers within a month or so for a June harvest. (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…)
Yesterday was a good day to get started planting my tomato seeds and hopefully some others as well. I did get all my tomato seeds planted in the usual containers that I use every season. Like all the other seasons I stuck with the tomatoes that worked: cherry, Roma, and steakhouse (beefsteak). (more…)
