vegetables

Post by DoubleM »

do Vegetables count? Soil.. land? Can we talk about gardening or does it have to be recipes?

Do you even grow bro?

We're currently harvesting celebrity and cherry tomatoes, bell, habanero and cayenne peppers, and edamames.

Anyone else enjoy growing seeds into nourishment?

Peas, spinach, carrots, broccoli, carrots and beets. I take the summers of, too damn hot and hard to keep it going over the summer.

Sure, dude, we can talk gardening.

Here's ours. Most are in self-watering containers. Currently waiting on watermelons, sweet potatoes, tomatos, peppers, swiss chard and more tomatoes. There are some flowers in there to attract pollinators and herbs for the kitchen. Everything is watered at once by the rain barrel or hose spigot thanks to some micro irrigation, takes less than 2 minutes.

Today's yield, have some free extra hot peppers if anyone's interested

We're trying the Sugar babies, they are the plants growing in the wooden box with lattice on the back. Plant is doing well trained upward and melons are hanging. One plant has 4 melons, two look big enough to pick but I'm not hearing the thumping sound during ripeness checks.

Here's a cool resource from UF that discusses everything including recommend varieties

Cool stuff, looks like you're doing something right! My plots are over grown, not enough time this Spring. Maybe try in fall for a "Winter" crop. All I have now is herbs and Japs.

P.S. I'll take the hot peppers if.........

Mark are you ever in Sarasota or South Bradenton? I work near 301 and Whitfield and could do a hand off.

I picked up some citronella plants at DaveR's store. Think they would make a difference on the skeeters if I took one with on an Everglades trip?

Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.
