Finally got my camera working so here's some pics of the garden this year. Mowed a path from the house to the garden through the honey bee pasture so I don't get nailed walking out there barefoot.
Thankyou. Just finished freezing up 36 lbs of brockets and 8 lbs of cauliflower. Side shoots on the brockets til freezings-up. All is looking good except the carrots, lot of them have several carrots shoots in stead of one nice one with a type I've grown great ones with for 4 years now. Maybe the new seed.
Good for you. Not the harvest we hoped for as tomatoes got root rot. Corn just fair. here in midwest has not been good for anyone. farmers market more baked goods, than fresh vegs.
Has anybody else in the UK planted leeks this year? I plant them most years, but I have been really pleased with the results so far this year (Onions in the same patch are doing well too)
Not bad for a volunteer in an untended pile. I love the mystery, "Is it acorn, butternut or spaghetti?"
I live in a condo so me growing a garden is impossible but i should really find something creative to do with the porch
Just wrapping up harvesting mine with digging about 80 lbs of potatoes. Seemed like things were slow growing this year but had to buy another freezer for carrots, beets and kale plusmput up a 3rd line in the basement to hang my onions from so I shouldn't have to make many trips to the store this winter. Also have plenty of sockeye salmon, caribou and moose for meats. Still gotta puts some fish bone meal on the beds, till them up and water down before it drops below freezing with no return soon, like midway through next week.
Will do, maybe by then the melons will be doing something but it's been over 100f in the day for longer than I recall so nothing is moving very fast. Next few weeks we should be down to the 90' fingers crossed. @AstroShark look into vertical gardens. They even sell 4'×8' wall panels with planters molded into them.
I always grow my own dry beans each year, and it is once again time for that harvest. Two 40-foot rows of tepary beans provides enough for burritos all year. I grow both black and brown tepary beans, which are smaller than pintos, but grow better in the Sonoran Desert. Some of the pods are starting spontaneously shatter on sunny days, so I pick pods early in the morning each day.
Thinking if I can cover the plant in straw maybe I can stave off the frost till late November hopefully.
