  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. ;)

  9. 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.

  10. 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...

  11. 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

  12. Just bought some seeds from Humboldt seed company. This is the first time I'm making a purchase with them so we'll see how it goes! Really excited to grow this year :] #cannabis #growyourown #outdoorgrow #containergrowing #grownfromseed #growHSC

  13. I've been looking back at the 2025 veg gardening trials, the successes and the failures. It was a challenging season! Read about what I grew on the blog: bit.ly/4jEkVpQ

  14. 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.

  15. Picked more tomatoes yesterday and some peppers today.

    There was about 10 lbs / 4.5 kg of tomatoes total, mostly Amish Paste but I picked the red cherry tomatoes too. All but 8 of the sweet Red Marconi peppers were sliced up and put in the dehydrator.

  16. 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.

  17. Harvest for August 3rd and 4th.

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

  18. Picked the first watermelon the other day. It was the one that first set this spring. The tendril was dry, the previous and past tendril was dry and brown, the yellow spot looked good, and it was just a little bit red inside and had no taste other than textured water. 🤣

    Plenty more to pick in the coming days. The chickens don't let them go to waste, the 11 year old Australorp likes them.
