ITS BEEN AWHILE FOLKS, BUT MY GARDEN HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCING YET. ITS DOING WELL FOR THIS TIME OF THE SEASON SO NO COMPLAINTS.
I WOULD SAY ITS VERY LUSH RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HARVESTED ALL THE RADISHES, PLUS SOME OF THE LEAF LETTUCES. ALSO THE THYME AND PARSLEY ARE DOING VERY WELL SO I HAVE BEEN CUTTING AND USING FRESH DAILY.
MY 2 HUSKY CHERRY PLANTS LOOK LIKE SHORT, STURDY TREES. I HAVE NOT HAD TO TIE THEM UP AT ALL. THE WORD HUSKY IS TRUE HERE. THEY HAVE BLOSSOMS AMONG THE GREENERY BUT ITS HARD TO SEE THEM.
MY 2 EARLY GIRL TOMATOES ARE SHOWING MANY TINY YELLOW BLOSSOMS. EVERY DAY ONE SHOULD SHAKE THE BRANCHES SO THEY POLLINATE. THEY DO NOT NEED INSECTS TO DO THAT SINCE THEY POLLINATE THEMSELVES IF GIVEN THE CHANCE, LIKE A SHAKE OR A WIND.
MY 2 SWEET BELL PEPPERS ARE STILL SHORT, BUT SHOWING SEVERAL WHITE BLOSSOMS. I AM SURE ITS BECAUSE PEPPERS REQUIRE HEAT TO GROW AND OUR NITES HAVE NOT BEEN WARM, MOSTLY IN THE 50S AT NITE. NICE FOR PEOPLE, BUT NOT FOR PEPPERS.
HIDDEN BENEATH THESE NASTURTIUM BLOSSOMS ARE MY 3 BUSHY CUKE PLANTS. THE FLOWERS HAVE JUMPED AHEAD IN GROWTH. THE CUKES ARE FINE UNDER THOSE LEAVES AND I KEEP THEM WATERED SINCE CUKES LIKE LOTS OF WATER. I HOPE TO GET A NICE HARVEST LATER IN THE SEASON.
MY 2 EARLY GIRL TOMATOES HAVE LOTS OF YELLOW BLOSSOMS SO I KEEP GIVING THEIR BRANCHES A SHAKE TO POLLINATE THEM. I HOPE TO SEE MANY SLICED TOMATOES FROM THESE 2 PLANTS.
AS FOR MY 2 PLUM ROMAS, ONE OF THEM WAS ATTACKED BY SOME CRITTER WHICH CHEWED OFF AT LEAST 3 BRANCHES. I FELT ALL ALONG THE BRANCHES FOR TOMATO HORNWORM, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY. I MOVED MY WIND SHEETS AROUND THE PLANT TO DETER THE CRITTER AND MAYBE IT WORKED SINCE IN 2 DAYS NO FURTHER DAMAGE. I HOPE THE PLANTS ARE NOT FURTHER HURT.
AS FOR FLOWERS, THESE ARE BEDS ALONG OUR GARDEN PATHWAY THAT FILL WITH COLOR THRU THE SEASON. THIS IS JUST ONE SECTION. WE HAVE MORE AROUND OUR PATIO.
I AM ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF GARDENING. I HOPE TO ENJOY LOTS OF FRESH VEGGIES THIS YEAR WHICH I WILL SHARE WITH OTHER RESIDENTS, PER USUAL.
MY LITTLE 4 BY 8 FOOT BED BRINGS ME JOY AND HEALTHY FOOD. WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT.
HAVE A LOVELY SEASON EVERYONE.
