Besides getting Blossom-End rot, our garden is thriving this year. We moved it to a sunnier spot this year and I’ve harvested so much already. This is just from today
I finally got the garden all planted! We had to make a whole new garden bed, because my chicken coop is going where the old one is. So my partner came and helped me build the bed on Monday, and then I took my mother to work yesterday and we got all the plants. We have several different kinds of...
Haven’t gotten around to posting recently.
The tomato plants are going crazy! I can barely keep up with them. Also got a couple more zucchini’s from my plant. I had to pull up my sunflowers recently. We had strong winds and they all snapped. It was a bit disappointing because they had just...
Forgot to post yesterday:
My sunflower opened Sunday morning!! Had to climb up on the fence to get this picture lol
Today:
I pulled up my first carrots! Probably should’ve waited a little longer but I was too excited. This was my first time growing carrots.
We also got our first pumpkin on...
This might not be of any help, but last year we bought my mother a peach tree for Mother’s Day. After a while it developed something like that. It was super gooey and sappy. It eventually started to kill the tree. It’s called peach gummosis I believe. There is a way to fix it too I think, I...
I did plant surgery today. The zucchini plant that I was originally worried about only had one grub thankfully. But the other pumpkin plant had about 10, so that plant got really butchered lol. I’m hoping they’ll survive.
What I did was I got my dissection kit out and used the scalpel to cut...
Something is happening to my zucchini plant, and I’m wondering if you guys know what it is.
So a couple days ago I posted my first zucchini on my plant on this thread. Well now it has shriveled up and died. Along with the second baby zucchini I got. I have been giving it an adequate amount of...
I went to water my pumpkin and squash plants today and found this:
I didn’t plant zucchini, so not what I was expecting but I’ll take it lol.
I guess by squash they meant zucchini.
Were they like these?:
My mom and I pick these every year, at about this time of year. We’ve already made some coffee cake out of some. It’s been our yearly tradition for as long as I can remember. My mom and I call them wild black raspberries, but I don’t know if that’s actually what they’re...
Here is my garden update:
So today I found a surprise marigold in the garden, it was really quite exciting lol. We planted some last year but I didn’t expect any to come back but alas one did.
And it also turns out the surprise “fennel” I was talking about in my last post on here are my...
I got my first tomatoes today! I was in Alaska for a week and when I came back my garden was so dry. I gave it a good watering this morning, so hopefully it will perk back up. I found some surprise fennel in the garden too. We had planted some last year and it didn’t come back up this year but...
Did some weeding yesterday. The strawberry plants are getting big, not big enough to produce a fruit this year unfortunately.
Turns out the ant problem is bigger than I thought. There’s a huge any colony underneath basically my whole garden, so that’ll be fun to deal with. We have a bad...
Has anyone had experience growing goldenberries AKA gooseberries? We bought some of them at the grocery store, and as an experiment I put some in a paper towel to see if they would grow. Now, over a month later, they started growing! So I just planted them today. But just wondering if anyone...
