Pinging the List.
We are in a severe drought warning in North Central PA. Glad I did 3’X3’ raised beds this year. Only taking a fraction of the 20’X 20’ fenced in area. I can direct the water to where I need it. Ground in between has DEEP cracks in it. Did 80% tomatoes this year for canning. All are heavy in green tomatoes. This heat will stress them but, the leaves are totally covering the bed base now. The water is not evaporating as bad.
It’s Friday...AGAIN? So soon? LOL!
I am drowning in zukes and cukes. Pole beans should start producing in earnest this next week, and I’ll be up to my butt in them, too.
Tomatoes are still all green, but we have plenty on the vine...where they will stay until the last minute!
Can’t WAIT for that first BLT, though...YUM!
We got 1.5” of heavy rain and wind last night. Of course! I watered the garden, Silly! Lots of wind, but no damage to anything, thank goodness.
HHH weather with frequent electrical storms. We don’t need that much rain. Tomatoes plants are now forming tiny little green ones. There are three tomato plants with flowers; even the two which don’t get as much direct sun have flowers forming. That’s exciting! My mouth is starting to water. Thinking next year I’ll try cucumbers. Four o’clocks getting bigger and can hardly wait to see what colors the flowers have. Still have a goodly amount of arugula and use it to garnish my tomato, cucumber and red onion salad.
We’re in a drought here in MA. So far, it’s not serious, but it will be soon. Thank goodness all of our vegetable and herb plants are in containers. I’ll try to get some pictures tomorrow, if I remember.
.my tomato plants have browning on their leaves..
..my beans did not grow one inch it seems.
..my supposed red holly hock is tall and beautiful but not red at all...its white..
same with my bee balm....more of a pink mauve than truly red...
squash look good....potted potatoes look healthy....beets might be ready...peppers so so....
in regards to my beans, even though I thought they were heirloom, maybe they were not...maybe seeds just don't last for more than one season...
Please add me.
I’m not getting any fruit from my Better Boy after a couple of months. Transplanted to better soil - still has the biodegradable “pot” so it shouldn’t be too much shock.
Transplanted my Sweet Basil too, also to better soil - it’s actually 3 plants and is a constant producer.
Also, starting 3 new small potting soil “pies” with seeds from one of the garden’s tomatoes. Had to pitch 2 this week. One had a round hole going in - and not coming out.
