Sunday Garden Update.. 4 and 5

I have been so busy that the photos I took last Sunday never got up.. or I think.. lol. Anyways.. I got my first zucchini picked.. am excited about that.. My garden is growing strong.. I have tons of lettuce.. peas pods (some are now peas.. lol).. some yellow squash, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber.. and my first flower on my eggplant.. it wont be long that I can start getting my own veggies!!

Here are some photos.. 

Eggplant flowering.. 

Yellow squash growing.. 

My pepper plants.. I planted too many in that spot. less for next year or I need more pots.. 

the flowers are Marigolds.. they are suppose to repeal wildlife.. 

I am waiting for it to turn color.. lol.. no idea what color I am growing.. they were mixed seeds..

I have some Italian Sweet Peppers too.. two indoors which grew from seeds late.. I got them in pots.. along with the mystery squash you can see in the bottom of the photo.. it was growing in the same pot as my lettuce??!! 

Sunday Garden Update 3 - Cucumbers and Tomatoes

 Now that my garden is growing like crazy I will just focus on a couple of things per day.. maybe every other day.. today it is my cucumbers and my tomatoes that I originally planted that got frosted. I am happy cos I have my first tomato growing.. and tons of flowers on them. 

First my cucumbers.. I have 3 in one large pot and one by itself.. They are flowering.. so I expect I will have cucumbers by next week.. well.. baby ones.. lol.. 

These guys I really didnt think would survive.. they surprised me and are already producing my first tomato.. 

more in a day or so.. 

Sunday Garden Update 2

 Today is a horribly hot an humid day.. I went out to water my plants and fertilize (do that monthly).. I really thought I would die!! lol.. anyways.. they seem to be doing well.. Pictures below.. 

I got a few eggplants.. one is doing well.. not sure about the other one.. I honestly only need one for me.. lol.. 

My lettuce is growing like crazy.. I cut some last night to eat on Sunday.. I guess I will be eating salad alot!

my peppers are loving this.. I already got flowers and a tiny pepper!

I need to get this built up.. my cucumbers are already looking to grab stuff! If it isnt too hot tonight.. I will do a little.. 

These are the three tomatoes that I thought would die after we got that frost.. well.. as you can see they are growing like crazy and have tons of flowers.. I will have tons of tomatoes this year.. I am actually gonna can some of them maybe one jar at a time (I wont get that many!).. I see homemade sauce in my future!

my zucchini is doing great.. already got flower buds.. my yellow squash.. well.. I started that from seed and it isnt doing as well.. we will see.. 

Garden Update!

Finally the weather has been cooperating with me.. I got some of my pictures so you can see how things are.. I already have flowers on both tomatoes and peppers.. 

my newest garden pot! These are both tomatoes and cucumbers.. I got to go out and start building up so the cucumbers can climb!

More tomatoes.. these were out first.. got damaged by the cold temps we had.. and now are growing strong.. I already have some flowers on the back row ones.. I also have planted peas as I love pea pods in my salad.. cant wait for them!

Speaking of salad.. I have many different lettuces growing.. and pots of marigolds in the front.

These are my green peppers.. some already have flowers.. cant wait!

Last but least I have zucchini and yellow squash.. the zucchini is growing like crazy!

I have eggplant plants to go out next.. hopefully tomorrow.. 

My garden is growing well..

Yes.. I planted a garden this year.. more than last year.. so far no one has eaten anything.. hopefully not.. I got peas, a cucumber, 4 tomato plants, 2 cherry tomato plants, 3 kinds of lettuce, 2 green peppers, one or two Italian sweet peppers, basil, and one yellow squash.. I need to start cutting my lettuce.. cos it is really growing.. 

One thing I miss is my garden.. this hopefully will give me fresh veggies into the fall..  

You can see in this picture how I really need to cut some lettuce!!

Still working on stuff in my house

I have so many ideas.. now to have the energy to do them all as you can imagine.. last week my week was focused on getting a planter together, and get the soil.. and get my plants.. I cant garden outside as we have too many deer, bunnies and squirrels.. lol.. so I decided to try indoors.. I have no idea if this is gonna work.. but I am trying it.. 

I still am deciding on whether or not to get a grow light.. mostly to keep the plants straight as this is too heavy to be moved.. will decide next month.. 

Below are some of the veggies I put in.. 

This is my cherry tomato. and bell pepper (red one).. 

This is an Italian sweet pepper and I regular tomato.. I couldnt find a patio one so hope this works.. 

This is my cucumber.. added a netting for it to climb up.. I also planted 3 bush green beans.. I will add photos weekly so you can see how this works out.. 

My Garden - Lettuces

Mixed Lettuce

I am growing three kinds of Lettuce.. butter, romaine and a mixed one of various ones.. Here are pictures of them.. I will send more pictures later. 

Gardening 3 - Green Peppers

I already have picked a bunch of them.. and made one meal of stuffed peppers with them.. these I hate to give away.. cos I can freeze them and stuff them frozen.. plus use the ends in my cooking.. here are pictures of my pepper plants..

Gardening 2 -- got to love summer gardening

Still picking tons of cucumbers.. and now tomatoes.. will have a bumper crop of eggplant in the next couple of days.. finally got some flowers on my green beans.. for some reason it is the first of those.. here again are some pictures.. of my eggplants and my green beans.. used a old umbrella for them to grow up on..

My Garden..

These days are starting to really produce.. I have been picking cucumbers like crazy.. and green tomatoes (we love them fried).. here are some pictures of my cucumbers and tomatoes..

My Garden..

You are probably wondering why I havent talked about a garden.. for this year I had to not make a garden.. only thing I got growing is lettuce.. looks like I will be visiting the farmer's market alot this summer.. sigh..

Life got in the way and I just didnt have time or the money to get one ready this year.. as much as I hated to do that.. looks like it wont be happening..

Gardening - Peppers

This year I got green peppers and yellow peppers.. I had also saved some seeds from last year.. a mix of either red, orange or green.. lol.. and have some of them too.. These were pictures of the yellow and green ones in late June..

And these were pictures of them in Mid July.. more coming soon.. you can see my first green pepper.

Gardening - Tomatoes

 This was one of my best tomato plants in late June.. this one is a heirloom version.. called Brandywine.. looking forward to tasting them..

The two pictures below is my first Brandywine Tomato growing.. and how the plant looks now..

This picture is of my beefsteak tomato plants.. these will be mostly used for fried green tomatoes.. I will have more up to date pictures next week..

Gardening - Zucchini

 They started off so well.. as you can see in the first two photos.. those were from late June.. but by now.. they are covered with little white spots.. I am almost sure it is due to the dead tree next door with the mold growing on the branches.. but nothing I can do about it.. since it isnt in my yarn.. maybe trim the the branches that at least our in our yard for next year.. we got zucchini growing.. but who knows how long before the mold kills them off.. Just keeping them fertilized.. and hoping for the best.. left the newest ones large so you can see the mold.. sigh..
