Offical gardening thread...!

I use to grow a vegetable garden most of the time. I stopped when I moved into my new place. I had a small garden with some cool weather crops growing. I came home from a week long backpacking trip and found the local cats had turned it into a litter box:grrr: After that I joined a local organic CSA farm and get my produce from them.
This yr I did start growing some vegetables in containers on my patio. I should be getting my first tomato soon

I like the yellow crooked neck squash. Doesn't matter if it is raw, steamed or cooked in a casserole

 

I have a wonderful beer garden in my garage fridge, if that counts....

 

I've had gardens when I've lived elsewhere, but the soil is too rocky where I'm at now. You have to have a jackhammer after you get 3 inches below the surface.
The time and expense of creating a raised garden is not worth it to me.

I do maintain a lot of potted plants. I have a peach tree and 2 blueberry bushes that do OK.

 

RT, how do you get your squash to grow. This is the second year in a row that I've planted squash and zucchini, and the plants grew and flowered, but produced no fruit. Is it that I'm growing them in planters?

I have herbs coming out my ears. Sage, thyme, mint, rosemary, and basil. Mmmm...

 

I'll be picking some 'matters probably next week, crooked neck squash any day now and have already started eating some jalapenos & onions. Nothing on the Harbarnaros yet though, not panicking yet though only need 1 or 2 harbaneros for the whole year.

 

if you get more harbaneros than you need/want I will take some off your hands

 

two Harbarno plants, not one bloom yet. If they produce I will have many, many more than I need.

Picked 3 Jalapenos today - had one with my soup and sandwich here at work.


Definatly gonna pick that one 'matter tomorrow or saturday - lol
