Easy gardening crew still green we see

the strawberry plot:



this drop-down system from bench to pots allows nice natural propagation with these alpine strawberries, and cultivated 'cambridge delight' (to right).
after a good feed of ash, these plants will be ready for transplanting next season.

i'm still here, will get some pics today, garden is starting to get kinda raggedy.....lol too much rain this year = blight.

update:

here are my bell pepper plants, they love all this rain, they stand over 5ft tall:



banana bills, they slowly get smaller with each round they put on, i tend to notice the colors get more yellow as the plant matures:


fat n sassy's seem to get better with each round, they are nice peppers, nice 4x4 blocks


ah, the sugar snack hybrid cherry tomatoes; the plants that just won't stop! these things prove hard to control, not so much pruning need next year, or just taller stakes:


sideview of garden, all those are burpee "delicious" strain, the best that i grew this year, taste wise, nice and round. tastes like a tomato. getting blight though, due to all this rain. calmag doesnt seem to be holding it off completely, although, it is helping it seems:


and last but not least, my single little jalepeno plant, stands about 2.5ft tall, jammed pack full of little peppers, thought i might leave them on to see if they turn red, like i've been told, so they aren't so hot. stomach can't handle them...but of course i see they are cracking bad = hot

 

[Guest]

how's it going everyone :wave

i'm starting 2 indeterminate cherry tomato varieties and i was wondering how to go about growing them under an hps.

would they fruit under 12/12?
have some big boy's in the backyard but i didn't really tend to them and they never fruited.

the weather is taking an early turn for the worse, id say... going to take out the tomato plants, but keeping the peppers for now, they are on side of house, they will stay warmer, weatherman saying long, cold winter this year, compared to last year's mild one, the weather is quite crazy lately, must be warming thing.......tsk, tsk.

Here is a Craven99 head. I have plenty of seed for next season and to share with my friends.


Banana peppers, so full and heavy they have my plants laying flat on the ground.


Harvesting the heads.


I got 4 wheel barrow fulls of heads...the birds will be happy.

You guys are definately some experienced growers. Very impressed by your plants RR420. And equally impressed with your harvest SS. Keep posting those cool pics

some stuff in my garden.. these pics were taken a few months back, everything has since grown huge and/or been harvested.

sunflowers


peas


squash/cucumber




^^^The plant in this picture has since grown taller than the fence, and out past the X-mas tree!



you can see tomatoes in the back... yellow and red kinds to choose from... One of the lemon trees, (i cant find it in any pictures but there is a pomegranet tree that is taller then the house.. in the middle of producing as we speak) Then there is the compost heap in picture #6.








concord(e?) grape vines that are growing like weeds



and of course my guard cat, always on the look out

i was wondering if there were a gardening section here ; glad i found it . i am a bit of a novice gardener. i have a watermelon plant that has 3 melons on it . one is larger than the other two and i am running out of growing season here . if i cull the 2 smaller ones will this enable the remaining melon to finish off faster ?

 

[kurlyq2g]

It may help, as there would be less fruit and more leaf to work with on the plant..

Give it a try and tell us how it goes, if it goes well we will all learn from it.

 

[Guest]

Hi Green Grow...Welcome to veggie-land.

There isn't anything you can do to speed up fruit times on melons. If you cull the smalls the remaining fruit will get alot larger. I takes about 55-65 days for most melons.
This is my prize winner at a young age. It finished at 50#. I also grew a 40#er on the same vine.




Hope this helps,
Seed

 

[Guest]

Oh shit! Sorry I missed ya Kurly.
I like your garden. Alot of folks don't realize that they don't need an open field to grow veggies. Any ol' spot in the yard that is made of dirt will suffice.

That is my sunflower from the fair this season. As big as it is, I only took second. 14' ++
