Your 2025 Garden

[fuzzi]

I've got some tomatoes coming in and blossoms on some beans. Only 13 out of 48 bean plants came up, I even replanted 12 more and none of them came up. I've never had issues with beans before and will be getting different seeds to plant in the garlic patch when I pull that soon. I just don't understand the issues with the beans this year and that bums me because green beans are my favorite veggie, I always grow at least 48 plants for my small family of three. Canned, frozen, dehydrated, fresh, love them every way

I have had terrible results with seed germination the last few years, but Seed Savers beans germination has been close to 100%.

I tried growing Atlas tomatoes many years ago. They showed promise but the garden was destroyed by a mid August hail storm.

My doctor had one last year and raved about it. These are not the same thing as they were selling as Atlas years ago.

At least 5" diameter

At least 4 ½" diameter

Just blue lake bush beans. I grow those every year

I think it's time to dig the garlic. And probably the multiplier onions. That's 3 raised beds that will be open. I'm thinking of planting buckwheat in two of them to help combat the weeds. Not sure what to put in the third. Maybe more buckwheat.

I've got about another week for my garlic. The bottom leaves are just starting to brown. Think I'll do more beans in that bed

My second sowing of Summer squash failed before setting
fruit, vine borers killed them


The Argentinian squash I tried growing this year, Zapallito del Tronco, is still producing, though slower. I think I'll try to replant in a couple weeks.

Third sowing of green and wax beans is blossoming.

I'm afraid I'll have to live vicariously this year. My largest tomato is a skinny stick less than 2 feet tall, peppers are stunted. Beans are producing but the largest is maybe 8 inches tall. Corn tasseled at 2-3 feet.

I think most of it has been caused by saturated clay soil, and the rest by high winds.

A wind gust came through. I had forgotten to stake the cage the Lemon Boy tomato was in.

It is back upright now and the cage is staked in place.
