What did you do in the garden today?

[lazy gardener]

Don't feel bad. We all gotta start somewhere! My first garden was about 4' x 4', got about 4 hours of dappled sun/day, and was packed gravel. I harvested some 1" long bitter carrots, about 6 pea pods with a very shabby excuse for peas, and not much else.

Wow Ya'll got great looking gardens. I feel pathetic compared to ya'll.

So, what seeds did DH put into one hole?

Planting peppers and getting fish?
I always thought the beans that jack, from jack and the bean stalk, planted were jelly beans.
I wish I could grow jelly beans.
Gourmet jelly belly beans. popcorn flavored.

edited to say 'when i was a KID", I know better now. of course, I never did do any experimentation...
Maybe I need some empirical data.

[COLOR=B42000] [/COLOR] [COLOR=37404E]I NEED A BIGGER GARDEN...[/COLOR] OY VEY! [COLOR=FF0000]What do you got?[/COLOR]

I planted a Indigo Rose or " blue indigo" too. First time growing it. I am also trying black cherry again. Last year the " black cherry" plant I got was cross pollinated and not true to type. It turned out to be like a brownish red/ pear type. Loads and loads of fruit, but so tough, dry and bitter even my chickens avoided them! I couldn't believe there was actually a tomato that chickens didn't like, LOL. Apparently I wasn't the only one to have problems with the black cherry, about 1/2 of the reviews from the nursery the plant came from reported that their plant wasn't true to variety. I bought my plant this year from a different source I also planted a Nyagous black tomato. I loved this variety two years ago...yummy, rich, almost smoky flavor with loads of fruit until frost. But, last year my young Nyagous plant was dug up and killed by my dog and I couldn't find another one hopefully this year I have better luck with my black tomatoes

I NEED A BIGGER GARDEN...

OY VEY!

What do you got?

I had Fish peppers a couple of years ago. The few I had did great until a frost killed them. I found this variety difficult to germinate! The leaves have better color if they get some shade, but the fruit was pretty and striped no matter how much sun they got.

 

[lazy gardener]

Hosspak, your produce is beautiful. I'd love to come shopping in your garden, but the commute would be a killer.

 

[nayeli]

@Sill, where do I buy your produce LOL
