"VEGETABLE GARDENING" (for fun and nutrition)

[sproutco]

Hey guy's I got a question to ask. My tomatoe plant has flowers on it but i am not getting any frute what up, does it need a male plant or am i doing some thing wroung. How do I get tomatoe's to grow on this thing. Dam if it was pot i would have bud's out my ear.

Failure to set fruit (blossom drop) is common. Plants that do this often are either growing very fast, have excessive shade, excessive early nitrogen fertilizer, night temperatures over 72 degrees, planting too late in spring or too early in fall. Also, thrips can sometimes attack the blossoms so you could spray maybe safer soap for that. Good luck and keep trying. (Information is from home vegetable gardening circular 570 oct.1996 published by Clemson university)

It usually takes 1-4 days for the flowers to fall off and be replaced by bulging tomatoes. Give it a few more days and if you still have no sign of tomatoes, check for nutrient problems or even bugs.

here we are

here we are

ah, sweet corn, picked this many last week, and still have this many left on the stalk to pick. next year i'm going to try spaceing out the planting time of the corn, so that harvest is continuous, instead of all at once.


peppers start to kick again after picking off ripe ones


i love these sugar snacks, taste pretty good also, slight acidic, to make it taste like a mater, but sweet

hard rocks taking forever to change

i said before that i had problems with my delicous strain of tomatoes, got blight very early from lots of rain, and had blossom end rot on the first 10 or so maters. bummer. hit them with a couple doses of calmag plus see the difference?
before (the bottom of the plant, never recuperated)

after (the upper 4ft of the plant is now perfect...)



got some onions growing, some texas super sweet or something, pretty good at all stages it seems. quit buying them at the store a month ago.

what i picked this morning, i don't dare pick it all, it would spoil with no where to go. the banana bills are excellent peppers when yellow, sometimes hard to distinguish between the green to yellow to orange to red so FAST.

Could I grow tomatoes in a large cabinet? It's approximately 2 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and 4 feet tall.

Hell yeah!

Grow some quinault strawberries, they're fuckin huge.

Other suggestions:

Butter beans
habaneros (When dried, they're like tiny pumpkins made out of fire)


I'm gonna grow a "super dwarf" banana plant indoors. Only takes 12-15 months till harvest, and only gets 3' tall

I'm also gonna grow a "red dwarf" and a "blue java" banana plant, but those will come later on, they take longer, especially the blue java.

The super dwarf is a tiny ladyfinger variety as is the red dwarf, the super dwarf is creamy and sweet with a very slight hint of berry. Both will have small finger size bananas, but especially the super dwarf, tiny little dessert bananas/
The red dwarf has reddish flash and tastes of strawberry/raspberry

But the Blue Java is the best, it has the texture and flavor of vanilla ice cream.

Man I love that Sugar Shack. I can't wait to have the space for a nice size outdoor garden. Sugar Shack will definately be the 1 of the tomato varieties I grow. This is turning into a really fun thread. I'll take some pics tomorrow to add to the mayhem!

kushedout -do you mean sugar snacks? or sugar shacks?

SS - nice garden. how do you tell when sweet corn is ready to picked? all i've got to go on is tassle will turn brown.....not too specific.

i'm looking to put up a fight in the tomato # department

i've got some big ones out there, but kinda hard to tell what they will weigh.

they are brandywines. 100+ days. bigguns.


OMG, i just reread last couple of post
"You know you grow pot: when you compare your tomatoes size to lighters "
this is SO true. all that security, and i just told all my neighbors.....


as for my invasion of hornworms, after finding a few that had the predatory wasps on them, and leaving them alive, and tossing out any others that i found, to this day, i still can't find any signs of the critters. TY wasps.

 

[kushedout]

RR420...I was listening to love shack by the B52's at the time of my post. Of course I meant snack. Whatever hybrid it is that you have, that's the one!
