Our Garden

[BrianS]

How many of you all grow gardens? I enjoy gardening "almost" as much as fishing here is my garden so far. I'll keep this thread updated as time goes on.

This year I am only growing the Yukon Gold taters. They are our favorites and are doing very well.

Here are garden peas and lettuce

Brocoli and cabbage

Here are my maters. Still small but just now starting to grow. I am taking Train's advice and growing the Amish Paste this year! I'm sure he will be proud of me hehe. Other maters include: KBX (bet you never would have guessed that!), Cherokee Chocolate, Ark Traveler, Sioux, Earl's Faux, Black from Tula, Russian 117. I have 53 mater plants this year.

These seeds are also prolific and come up.

I forgot to add some pics of radishes I dug last night. I grew alot of radishes this year in order to get what I did as alot of them bolted as they often do with me

Mine is doing good also. Picking 2 qts of strawberries a day off a 6x6 patch. Lettuce has been plentiful. Corn is looking good. Squash and tomatoes have been slow, too cool. Replanted last week and beans, okra, more squash, cucumbers all starting to come up fine. It needs the warm weekend we are about to get.

I'm waiting for it to dry up so I can plant my corn. Weeds are about to take over where my corn will grow.

Nice, keep the updates coming. I grow pumpkins, cucs, squash and tomatoes myself.

My beans are now starting to bloom, I'm trying the purple variety this year. Planted several Patio tomatoe plants in containers, plants are doing well, and some small green tomatoes are starting to show. Got some crooked neck squash plants that are getting some of that gray mildew or whatever it is on the leaves. Don't know what to do about that. Cantaloupe is slow this year, but maybe with this hot weather they will take off.

It's been a bumper crop this year -- for weeds. I spent the bulk of yesterday getting on top of that. But everything's looking pretty good. Great year for lettuce with the cool temps and rain. Tried a new variety of spinach ("America") and it was a bust. Getting some small peppers and maters. Radishes are ready.

My containerized patio tomatoes are looking good and starting to turn color.

The Romas are coming on strong too.

The brocoli is ready to pick now

here is the caihua. its the first time I have ever seen it grow. I think my panels need to be taller though.

Here is one of my 12 KBX maters. Cant wait to slice one of those orange fruits of heavenly delight!
