Tomato’s are doing great. Planted one super sweet cherry, a beefmaster a better boy and big boy two romas a San marzano and one Brandywine. Have a number tomatoes that should ripen by the end of the month. Trying something different this year. Got some 5 foot cattle fence and and training the vines to grow on the fence. Had 8 foot tee posts and attached the fence about a foot off the ground.
Have two russet potato patches. One from potatoes I harvested last year and one from new seed potato’s I bought from Lowe’s.
also planted some sweet potatoes again from potatoes I harvested last year
Romain and spinach has been great so far as well as Texas sweet onions and broccoli. Will have to freeze some of the broccoli. Should be harvesting the cabbage soon as well
For some reason the Brussels sprouts didn’t produce so I pulled them. I’ll plant them again for the fall winter garden
Also have one hill of cantaloupe, watermelon and spaghetti squash’s. Zuchinni is starting to flower so should be able to start harvesting zuchinni soon .
Just replanted some bush beens. For some reason the seed I used didn’t sprout (two years old) so I bought some new seeds and planted them today. Sweet corn has come up as well
Planted 5 different varieties of sun flowers in the back of the garden for some color and to feed the birds.
Gotta put up a deer fence soon as there is a family down by the lake. They don’t bother my garden until about June when they bring up their fawns in search of food
Tried using all seed this year for flowers. Zinias black eyed Susan’s cone flowers purple sage. And vincas. I had vincas last year and bought some seed but I can’t tell the difference between the seed I planted and the vincas that are growing from the seed left from last years plants.
So far it’s been a great year. Had to spray my cabbage for bugs. Used a soap and vegetable oil solution. I do everthing organically and avoid chemicals. I found a landscape supply place that has mushroom manure so I rebuild my soil every year with that stuff. Works wonders
I’m also a lawn nut. Bermuda looks like a carpet but having to cut it twice a week to keep it looking good
