  1. All the cucumbers, melons, squash, and 1 runner bean are up. I thinned everything to 2. When the first cucumber sprouted I looked at the bottom of the pot by chance and noticed there was already a root poking out! The hibiscus has another flower ready to open, the other fell off the same day I noticed it so I guess I missed it for a day or two.

  2. Planted a Cherry Sweetie and Campari tomato in the ground and finished off the row with Kentucky Blue pole beans in very small cloches that are just woodlice protectors. The garlic and beets are looking good too but the beets need some more thinning it looks like.

  3. It was 49F / 9.4C low last night near the garden and forecast to be the same or warmer tonight so I set a couple of trays of tomatoes out to make some room indoors. They're setting in the newest raised bed that I just filled up with dirt from a hole I'm digging and some chicken compost. The bed will probably get 2 eggplants, maybe a tomatillo, and some basil. I'm only planting 10 of these tomato plants.

  4. Planted out the rest of the bok choy so I can officially have way too many bok choy plants, unless 18 isn't too many. This bed will get melons planted in it eventually. The center is being left to the fireweed growing in it and some marigolds that have sprouted and were put in there.

  5. I moistened and removed the skins of the seeds on everything that was up today. 7 pots of plums growing. I was worried the dry tops would shrink wrap them. In the wild they'd be coming out of the pit which I assume would be stuck to skin part. Much easier than doing this with pepper seedlings.

  6. A couple of the plum pots are showing some green and a lot of them are showing signs of pushing the soil up.

  7. I was a bit worried about the Campari tomatoes after I potted them up since I was using a new bag of potting mix that was different brand. Some of them were not looking good but they all started growing and some are looking pretty good. There's always the chance the potting mix has some tomato killing thing or disease in it but I think it's ok. The eggplants are looking good, and I saw a plum starting to push up.

  8. Indoor growing update. It's all getting bigger. The peppers need to be spaced out, and I need to get a tray off the bench into the tent so they don't dry out so fast. Hibiscus is greening up and growing new leaves, the top of it looks good too but you can't see that. ;)

  13. The first radish is up, it's a French breakfast heirloom. They were planted 13 days ago along with the sugar snap peas, arugula, spinach, beets, and other radish types.

    There have been 58 (F) growing degree days based on a 43F base mean temp here this year, which is more of a fruit tree blossom thing at that base temp, but it's what I keep track of. Accumulated degrees above that daily mean temp base.

  14. Sweet and Hot peppers, and a tray of Maximilian Sunflowers. Also some Shrubby St. John's wort that sprouted after spending a week alternating in the freezer and refrigerator with the sunflower seeds. Peppers were just thinned by the clippers...

  15. Started my native seeds yesterday! There's another flat that I forgot to take a picture of. 8 different kinds this year. #wintersowing #itskindofspring #nativeplants #grownfromseed #gardening

  16. I grew this bountiful #GroundCherry plant from seeds collected from last year's #VolunteerPlant. I dug a volunteer ground cherry plant out from a sidewalk crack, last year & transplanted into a pot. That plant provided loads of #fruits. I saved 2 of the largest fruits for sowing this year's plants - gave several seeds away too.

  17. The last two days of garden harvest. I looked at the small melon bed today and found a ripe melon, then another, and another, and more... Picked all the fully red Marconi sweet peppers and all the paste tomatoes I could find that were ripe.

  18. Harvest for August 3rd and 4th.

    Found a big crookneck squash today, fewer beans, a few zucchini, a couple of cucumbers, and some tomatoes.

  19. No zucchini today!

    4 sweet peppers that were small but turning red, 4 campari and 4 orange flamme tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, a small handful of beans, and all the jalapenos that were getting a rough skin including one little red one.

  21. Some eggplants have grown beyond the calyx, the yellow summer squash shown was harvested today, and the biggest watermelon is still growing fast.

  22. Some 'early' morning photos of the garden getting some sun from the East, and a photo showing the summer squash plants that are more than 3 feet tall now not counting the raised bed, and a 'bush' acorn squash that has lots of vines going in all directions.

  23. Watermelon, cucumber, tomatillo, and Amish paste tomato update.

    There are lots of the sugar baby watermelon that had successful pollination. The first cucumber is growing and the tomatillo have rapidly expanding husks. The Amish paste tomato has set more fruit and they look to be the correct shape unlike the early ones that set.

  24. Picked another zucchini. There's been a couple that weren't pollinated and didn't grow that I removed. The yellow ones are starting to make some fruit finally.

  29. Picked more beets and took a photo. There might be one more harvest after this but probably not as many big ones. There are some really big leafy green plants but little to no sign of any 'beet' on them. Not many of the transplants from thinning have big beets either.

  30. Zucchini and Bell pepper update. There might be a pollinated zucchini, or courgette, now. The one that wasn't isn't soft so it stays on the plant for now. I've picked some sunburned peppers but others aren't so they continue to grow bigger. They need more basil and marigold shade from the sun! Yes, more basil in this bed.

  35. Tomato, basil, and tomatillo update. It's all growing. ;) I've pruned some of the lower parts of some tomatoes but I'm leaving them kind of bushy on the trellis. Lots of flowers on the tomatillo. Lots and lots of basil which I've been letting flower then dead heading it. There are runner beans on both posts in the raised bed and they've made it to the top of the trellis.
