re: Garden update

Wont be able to plant for another 2 weeks due to crappy northern weather.

But this year I'm growing:

8 different types of beans (two plants of each)
2 different types of tomatoes (4 plant of each)
Cauliflower (4 plants)
Broccoli (4 plants)
Green, red, yellow peppers (two of each)
Potatoes (hope to have 5 plants)
Cantaloupe (two plants)
Basil (one plant)
Cilantro (one plant)

Mine is doing pretty good. I started most everything from seed in the garage under a light back in March.

Transplanted Some on Easter and the rest a week later.

My Tomatoes, and Peppers (jalapeno, Bell and Banana) are all doing great. The 1/2 of my Okra and cukes I planted on Easter are kinda meh. The ones I planted a week later are doing much better.

Squash is about a foot tall or better, and my watermelon is getting bigger leaves, but the vine really hasnt started growing much. I also have about 40 or 50 onions out. My first time trying them so we will see how it goes.

Also, I've heard that you need 2 different breeds of blueberries so they can cross-pollinate, to make good fruit. Do I need to go get a couple more plants of a different verity?

Most blueberries now are self pollinators but they will produce bigger berries if they cross pollinate. It takes about 3 years for them to start producing berries. How old were the ones you planted?

My question is, did I wait to late for any of that? (the carrots and onions were the only seeds, the others were actual plants.)

you should be good especially on the peppers and okra, hard to say with the blueberries usually you need 2
