A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Vegetable Gardening I'll show you mine, if you show me yours....

here's what I have so far.

mater patch


close up of mater

hot bananna pepper


orange bell pepper

all 3rd graders in my daughters school rcvd a cauliflower plant.
my daughters plant is on the left. the one on the right is a neighbor boy that left his in it's original seedling pot for three weeks. once he saw my daughters he asked if we'd put his in our garden for him. it's struggling but getting some healthy new leaves! I SO hope it produces and I can send him home one day soon with a big cauliflower head! and yes, that is an onion in between them.

ok, photobucket is fighting with me, but here is the last set of pic's.

yellow squash



3 out of the 6 pineapples there in the back of the garden.
(and there at the right hand side of the pic is a brocolli and a couple of collard greens)

Hey Cricket, your garden is looking just great so far! Your tomatoes and peppers all seem so vigorous, as does your daughter's cauliflower. I hope the boy's cauliflower catches up in time.... I'm sure it would mean alot to him!

How much space do you have for your garden? Do you always do pineapple in a mound like that?

Sorry I don't have any vegetable photos to "show you mine" but it is far too early up here yet. I'll just have to be content "seeing yours".




Merme

one day I'm gonna measure the garden or do the math. people are always asking. but it has 6 rows on 18" centers. and the lenght is almost twice the width.
last year my pineapples were in pots. I thought I'd try them in the mounds this time. I put them out way to early though. they were kinda shocked and unhappy. its just been in the last week that they are perking up.

Here's mine as of yesterday. This is will be the expanded tomato garden. It was fill with euonymous. DH is very proud of himself!

it looks like a good start!

Boy, you're way ahead of me.

I have my ground tilled and disced that is about it. The rain wont stop long enough for us to get something planted. This is the first year I am doing one, so I will aggravate some people here soon!

aggravate on, lisa!

My cauliflower doesn't look like this....maybe I'm doing something wrong?



Between the potatoes (on the right) and the peppers and squash (on the left).

By the way here is mine....

Okay so this is my first try at this. My lettuce is already eaten (as you can see in the below picture it was ready). I started my garden the second week of March when we had that warm spell in MO. So by May it was well established. Here is a May 4th shot,
(picture taken 5/4/09)


So I'm thinking of planting some more vegges but have not decided what. I currently have tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, peppers, squash, cantalope, watermelon, strawberries.
The peppers and melons I just planted and my strawberries that I planted in March are growing like a weed...spreading everywhere.

I continually plant lettuce seeds so I have lettuce for months. If you use a lot of lettuce try that. As soon as I pull up some I throw down more seeds. It gets things out of a straight line row but I don't mind.

I've never grown broccoli or cauliflower. I think around here I have to plant them when it's cool.

I'm not sure what you mean about you're cauliflower doesn't look like this...


Cricket, the 3rd graders at my school were given cabbage plants. I guess Bonnie does it all over the country.

well, that's interesting isn't it?

I had forgotten all about this thread! boy, I need to get some recent pic's posted. my little garden looked so organized and tame then. now, everything is huge and I'm constantly fighting the weeds. but, were eating fresh veggies just about EVERY day now!

right on! I was in and out of photobucket in 20 minutes. not bad!

canteloupe


here's part of my mater patch now...


picked this one right after I took this pic. she'll be ready to eat tomorrow.

banana pepper


well.....I had a pic of my watermelon vine, but I guess photobucket ate it!
no blooms or fruit yet on the watermelon. it is very slowing growing so far.

Umm.. I love the pix, but I am starting to think I planted too late! My stuff teeny tiny compared to your guy's stuff.. Humm???

and where are you again, eva?

Sacto, CA.

Eva, I think Texas is way ahead of everyone else. That tomato looks good Cricker. What cha gonna do with those peppers?

me likey to stuff the 'nana peppers with cream cheese, and what ever else I can find. cook them up in some butter....and yum yum.
and of course there very good chopped up and cooked with stew, chili, soup, meatloaf, burgers, whatever.
good flavor, but not too hot!

Here are some photos of our plot. We've already picked lettuce and basil!!!

Ashley got one too, I'll have to get a picture of hers to show y'all

and I've already had a tomato fallen to farm spray...one of my biggest too

The view from my dining room window this rainy morning.If you scroll up this thread, you can see DH working on the new tomato garden in the first picture. But the real garden is in the front yard!

I can't post any pictures of my garden because my camera is still missing.
I've begun harvesting cukes,zucchini,and lettuce.Butternut squash is blooming,got cantaloupes and watermelons growing.Tomatoes and tomatillos are growing fine.

I think I know where my camera is. My sister probably hid it in her room.Once I find it,i'll take some pics of my garden and post them.

This is my corn patch



I'll try to post some more pics later.

looks good enrique

danielp, I've got an upside tomato too. It seems to be doing ok so far. Kendall is a cutie. How old is she? I've never grown carrots but I've got some seeds.


Belinda, what is farm spray?


Marcia, your gardens look great. Very neat.

Enrique, your corn looks good and healthy.

These are my peppers:



I planted peppers in the same area as last year;I shouldn't have because I could end up with disease problems

This is another area of my garden next to the corn:



I planted cukes,cantaloupe,watermelon,and butternut squash in this area. To the right are the Hollyhocks.

are those cactus in the background?

sheri...I think se means drift from a nearby field being sprayed.
emde, lookin' good! Don't worry about the peppers, it's good to rotate, but people often plant the same thing in the same rows year after year.

Here are some new photos I took over the past week or so.

looking good.

Love the bee!

Heirloom tobacco growing on property owned by the City of Cincinnati! (Between the sidewalk & the street isn't really ours.) I got them in late, but they're not doing too badly. Unfortunately, I hope we're moved by the time it's ready to pick. But a nice experiment, don't you think?

But Marcia, is it legal?

LOL
