I was thinking about getting some cattle panels or something. I believe if I went to the dump I could remake something into a nice sturdy trellis. You know how I am all about reusing things for another purpose.Mine like took over the yardso might be good to try a trellis or put in an area where you don’t mind lol but it was a lot of fun growing them!!!
Oops, sorry.@SnapdragonQ we can continue the rabbit poop talk hereI’m sure the hatch thread is wondering how we even got on that topic...
But my yellow pepper has leaf curling, it was before I did anything. It does have small teeny tiny peppers now. I almost just pulled it though because I’m frustrated with it
All my peppers seem to be late on growing or maybe I just never had a successful garden so no idea on when they start producing.
And can you tell me what’s good to start planting in August? We are thinking of doing inground if possible.
I’m not sure. Maybe? I should have planted some last month
my good Russian Pickling Cucumbers.
That would be awesome!!!
We are in zone 7a... I believe if I did a garden last fall, I could have kept it going all winter long because it barely got cold here. That is why we have so many ticks and ants this year. I just pulled a tick from my hair... UGGHHHHOops, sorry.
Are you zone 6 or 7 over there?
Even when I was in zone 5 August was a hard time to try and start anything outside direct sow besides the heat lovers like zucchini and other summer squashes. Swiss chard will come up too, but many other things will have trouble or you won;t have enough longer days.
It is however a good time to start seeds with a longer germination times, or are more tender, inside so they are ready for Sept plantings. Like Kelsey mentioned nearly all your cooler spring type veggies will also make good fall plantings.
Summer squashes planted in early Aug can sometimes keep going until frost and smaller 90 day pumkins would probably set fruit and mature before your fall frosts. Something like a small sugar pumpkin for pies would be easy to trellis up.
One year I had fresh zuccini on my Thanksgiving table next to my fall pumpkin dishes.
Some old lumber fasted together in some sort of frame and old twine/heavy string can make a grid trellis. I've seen old screen doors, sans screen, strung with wire or twine used. I've used tree branches, old fencing, whatever I could find because all my cattle panels stay in use for animals around here.
I am going to buy more plants I think at the end of August. I want to get a greenhouse... I already found what I wanted, I just need to wait until the fall time once there is no vacation so I know I will be here to maintain it.I’m not sure. Maybe? I should have planted some last month
I actually just recently planted some more haha they’re still tiny though. I never planted them
I think I need to buy a big already started plant. We most have tomatoes and peppers but I wanted beans, peas, eggplant, cucumber, carrots, beets, potatoes, I had so many plans lmao
I actually did plant cucumbers and squash but the chipmunks ate the starts when I put them in.
Still have one zucchini lol
I have an old bed frame that would work, it has the springs and everything. I will find something if I end up doing this big garden I want to do.
That’s a good idea!!
