My first swing at potatoes here had excellent results. Salad greens are on their last legs and have gone on longer than I expected due to some much needed rain and moderate temps. Of special note this year were the peaches which were the best I can remember...ever.
Tomatoes are on the downside of their peak which was 20 a day of Celebrity and Purple Cherokee off of 8 plants. Also plenty of Roma and San Marzano. The latter have done very well and are quite tasty. I am also impressed with the Heinz Roma and will plant again if I can find them.
Peppers and okra of course and plenty of shallots and 1015s.
The blueberry experiment results are somewhat iffy. Only the first year after hollowing out a huge chunk of native "dirt" and filling with a mix of acid soil and peat moss. Almost impossible to keep them wet enough..or something. Think it's going to work out that store bought is a lot cheaper and better. No so the thornless blackberries which I expect would grow just about anywhere. Not as much fun as native dew berries but a lot bigger and tastier.
Despite a very warm spring just an excellent year for the garden.
Glad you are having a good year. The dew berries here are huge compared to the black berries. The dew berries and blackberries we have are mostly wild natives.
Whenever they spring up, we put a chicken wire circle around them so they don’t get mowed over till they get well established. Then we put a brick or rock circle around them.
The larger patches have metal hoops that we use to keep the netting from tangling in the bushes.
My San Marzano tomatoes are my best producers = good looking healthy plants with loads of tomatoes on each plant.
Wind down?
My Roma’s haven’t even started to ripen and there are a ton of them on my plants!
Juneberries might be easier than blueberries, and they look and taste almost the same. But Juneberries will grow in practically any soil.
