growalot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hell..... I'm STILL planting mine...tomatoes got their first pinch back today...swt. banana have flowers and 2" long peppers. orange sunset have flowers and a few tiny peppers...peas did horrible(fall replant) cabbage great ,but had one nipped off(birds) eggplant is OK but slow..spinach did bad...will replant in fall.....wax beans not great but the pole and hanson shell beans are great...All the beets, swiss chard,summer squashes,pickling cukes corn are up and growing well so far...hot peppers have flowers. The broccoli,collards,kale,cauliflower, and brussels, muskmelons went through their transplants nicely. Pumpkins were planted yesterday but the ones that went into a compost area are sprouting along with some butternut..I planted more cukes, 5 more rows of corn, 3 more rows of beets today. Lettuce is being picked and more goes in today... Now the weeding begin ,I'll weed between the corn that's up and then lay down red clover...the pumpkins will get weeded when the y emerge and they also will get a seeding of clover. Once the tomatoes and peppers get a little taller they will also get a seeding of red clover as time goes on in the fall winter wheat will go in around plants.

turkeyfeathers Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Mentioned before we skipped the veggie garden this year. A lot of work for what yield typically is for us and critters always hit it at go time on the almost pick time. Bastids I did break down and surprised the wife with 2 tomato plants and planted them And I don't even eat tomaters. Those, sunflowers, bee balm, hostas, impatience , magic beans, cosmos and everything else doing really well this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote this we are getting a nice soaking rain in Wny as I type.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtTime Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I don't have the space most of you have for a garden. I posted a thread about trying something new using pails and laundry baskets for our garden. Everything is growing great! Tomato plants are doing great, jalapeño plants are flowering, Hungarian Hot Wax are flowering and growing tiny peppers, and the Hot Cherry Pepper plants have about 8 peppers already blooming. The only thing not doing well is the herbs the fiancée planted. Edited June 24, 2017 by ....rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATbuckhunter Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Mine is doing great. Grapes look like they did well over the winter (not as many grapes as much as last year though), my figs did amazing over the winter with almost no death in my trees which means ill get two batches of figs this year. My raspberry's are spitting out a ton of raspberry's, strawberry's are doing well and my tomatoes are growing pretty well. I believe this will be a great season for vegetables. Unfortunately my peaches got hit with a disease that I can't remember the name of. 3 of my trees have a bunch of peaches, but 1 has 0 now because of it.

growalot Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Fruit is doing ok..though I got a lot of fruit drop on a few apples, pears and all but one plum...late frost combined with early bloom. I will have a bumper crop of Kiwi and all berries. Lost 2 peaches.due to age and boers. I have 2 young replacements,flowered, no fruit ,one older just loaded and doing great. Rained all night again.

growalot Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Looking good....I'm now starting to worry a bit...little new growth on all night shade family of plants...low 50's at night,low60's to mid sixties during the day. This slows growth in heat loving plants. Some heat due later in the week but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Not much going on since my last post. All plants still growing well, had to gently adjusted some tomato vines to the cages. Have another two Hot Cherry Peppers that budded up. Can't wait for the tomato plants to produce! Fiancée knew going in that I was going to do more fried green tomatoes then let them ripen.

Water Rat Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I grew some tomatoes and zucchini for my wife. The old adage is true......."Gardening requires a lot of moisture , usually in the form of perspiration". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maytom Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 This year I only planted 4 tomato plants, but planted the same amount of green bell pepper plants...6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I had some great growth the previous 3 weeks, but this latest lack of sun and cool weather has hurt. Spinach never took off, but have harvested some. Lettuce is kind of the same. Peppers and green beans are growing but struggling. Lost some c antelope early and had to start over. It's still not doing great. Cucumbers and squash are the only 2 that i would consider thriving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 everything is doing alright. kind of wish i had a hot greenhouse to get them going better sooner. we've gotten lots of rain so that's good. seems like a garden can't get enough water. broccoli never seemed to do anything planting outside. maybe birds are picking them off or something idk.

mlammerhirt Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Watermelon, Zucs and pumpkins.

growalot Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 LOL that stuff is near impossible to kill! Grizz where the heck are your weeds! I'm thoroughly jealous...I'm having a hard time keeping up with the weeds already.. Tomatoes have flowers and I have peppers! That is no some feat let me tell you..second planting of corn has sprung and first is about 6 in. high...pumpkins just peeked through, as well as second cukes planting. 4 rows of beets are small but look great, 2 other rows just peeking through...Beans are looking poorly and I may have lost all the bush green beans most of the yellows, all braccs look great first cukes have sprung up and summer squash is growing well... EVERY thing is still small except lettuce and peas have flowers...Ohh I have found over half dozen plants in the compost and hay field from last years squash and pumpkin patch. I will trans plant to garden this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 This year, our garden will likely have value only as a source of exercise. Yes we will get some produce (I hope), but it is the sickest looking thing we have ever put in. The constant rain drowned nearly all the seed inputs, and the plants seem to be quite stunted by the constantly soaked ground no longer having any give left for root expansion. The surface is kind of a hard-cake crusted quality. We were very late getting anything in because I couldn't get the tiller out there until way late. But we were stubborn and still put stuff in when I could even though it was getting quite late. So, what the heck, we will get what we can off of it and enjoy the fact that I have been able to lose some weight because of the effort. The weight loss will likely be the bigger benefit.....lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hybrid medium tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, garden beans, sweet bell peppers, blank spot where broccoli would've been, red onion, sweet carmen Italian peppers, more garden beans, more zucchini, and then whole rest is pumpkins. Been neglecting it. Weeds were getting out of control.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
