re: Garden Updates

Is it too late to start a garden? I have a couple potted plants doing well but with the rain and tee ball haven’t had time to do one during the weekend

Not at all. You may be better off buying plants rather than start from seed though.

Depends, Is this your house?







Without being a smartarse, if you have a normal subdivision house then you should be okay. Just as long as you get at least 5 hours of sun. Any less than that and I would start to question the rewards of going through the work of preparing a garden.

lol, i am very fortunate. Wouldnt have it any other way. Grew up with a huge garden at my grandpas, and when i got older and my own place, i have my own, along with a few chickens and goats

and your cucumbers look great

Still a couple weeks away from picking tomatoes. At least my cucumbers are taking off again. They don't like the cold snaps at all.

Carmen peppers

I’ve heard (from here) these are fantastic and have a pretty high yield. In a future (bigger) garden I will definitely plant some.

My tomato vines have been loving this weather. I have a lot of tomatoes--some very large but they just aren't ripening with these cool nights.

Now that we have warmed up some I expect I will pick some tomatoes early next week.

For just personal use, how many of the pepper plants would you have? I got one of each, except for banana peppers (wife likes them) and mint (mojitos).Just seemed like having more than out Scotch Bonnet would be silly since they are so hot.
