How many of you have a garden this year?

Pogo · 05-23-2019, 03:00 PM

I have a very small one. I have a couple each of banana, jalapeno, and bell peppers. And I have one hot chili pepper plant. I have 4 tomato plants. And that's it.

Being that I live by myself, it's less expensive to buy my other fresh vegetables at the farmer's market.

Planted some pepper seeds 2 months plus ago and only 4 tiny sprouts. Not working to good, Says on sed pack to start them indoors in warmth and mine are outside on a table

got some zucchini seeds , didnt plant them

I used to plant corn, but it cost too much to water them in the desert. Id have to sell each ear for $100 each

Just put it in last weekend. Not the usual variety; couple of different kinds of tomatoes, some pickle cucs, and a jalapeno pepper plant.

We have several small gardens. We have lots of kale and collards growing from the fall garden.

Several types of tomatoes are growing and we have picked some already. A few day ago Kay filled a 2 gallon bucket with jalapeno peppers and canned 4 pints of them. She sliced them and added some sliced cowhorn peppers (from the garden) and garlic with them. She gave some away and there are many more on the plants. I'll cook some jalapeno boats/poppers tomorrow.

We also have cayenne, datil and bell peppers growing. One garden has yellow squash growing. The concord grapevine has many grape clusters that need a couple of more months to get ripe.

We have several blueberry bushes that the berries are just starting to ripen.

I have, tomatoes (Black Krim), peppers (California Wonder), cucumbers (Marketmore), lettuce (Salad Bowl) and chard (Giant Green Lucullus).

I was thinking about a small garden.......but living in farm country... makes it to easy to just go to one of the markets and buy whatever I want..CHEAP.

Hell my neighbors give me more fresh veggies than I can eat...

Last year I was awash in corn, onions and termaters.

Raising some bottle gourds this year.
Will be skinning them in the new back yard though.

BBill · 05-24-2019, 07:20 AM

I tilled my garden...then the rains came. Can't even cut
the grass back there now.

The garden is behind in growth but we always garden and hunt how else we going to eat?
