Garden 2012

[200KGPGTP]

I've had decent luck so far. My tomato plants are at least 10 feet tall, Picking hundreds of cherry tomatoes a week. Full size tomatoes just started ripening, looks like I'll have about 8 softball sized ones ready all at once.

I've had zucchini out the anus, though it is slowing down.

Picked about 30 ear of corn, it is DELICIOUS.

We already have orange pumpkins, and they aren't stopping. Hundreds of gourds.

Dug a couple dozen carrots yesterday

Watermelon did NOTHING for the longest time, but it has FINALLY taken off in the last week and it is going NUTS. Even have a few baby melons

Definetely doing a few things differently next year, weeds are insane.

Dug ten gallons of potatoes today and picked 20 heads of cabbage. The drought has taken its toll. Ive been carrying water for eight weeks hoping for a rain. Its not gonna happen in time to help most of the veggies. I cant remember a worst gardening year. It wasnt the best year to expand !! Still may be able to fill the freezer before winter.

Canned six more quarts of cauliflower over the weekend and still had the sink full. I blanched, vacuum packed, and froze the rest. Progress #9 peas are coming on. Weeded the 100 foot row of them yesterday. Need rain, hauled another 500 gallons of water last night.

I'll be too late to plant this year. But watch out for me next year Marcus!!

You've still got time for a lot of stuff. Tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn at the least can be planted now, then there is a whole group of fall planting for late harvest this year or early spring next year. At least you can plow up a spot, get the soil tested and ammended and ready for next year.

I ended up with four quarts of pickled cauliflower from yesterdays harvest. Its gonna be good !!

Also, my tomatoes have gone straight up mad, over 4 feet tall, COVERED in blooms. I should have ripe cherry tomatoes within a week

Did you ? Get out and plant your garden that is.

[freshtiva]

I dont care who you are, that's a beautiful thing right there. Not bad for a fifty cent investment. Still have over 100 purples to pick yet.

Thanks leapin !

I picked 50 onions this morning. The dehydrater was only half full ( not half empty ) yesterday. If it running it might as well be full. It sure smells up the house for the first couple of hours.

[leapin]

Nice looking radishes! I love radishes.

[freshtiva]

Thanks Paul ,The same onions later the same day. They'll keep in the freezer for a long time.

I transplanted most of my volunteers from the garden to along a fence. I need to take some pics. Your harvest looks great Marcus!
