How Does Your Garden Grow??????

[Frankterpene]

Frankterpene, do you have any arbors?

No arbors at all, next year I will... its fun and it make my day happier when i walk trought the garden and give em water. I like it.. smoking a joint, relx and enjoy vegetables growing! my gilrfriend is like me on it.. except she prune too much lol.. I hide scisors

A couple of them with flowers have bolted. When the tops fall over they're pretty much done growing. My onions didn't do much this year either. I planted some from sets I bought and some from seeds I started. I'm not using sets again as most of the ones I planted from sets bolted. The same thing happened last year so from now on I'm just starting from seed in trays during the winter.

many thanks it will be helpfull for next year... my mother told me to bend them to get them bigger... I just did with garlic too.. garlic seems to answer well.. onions not much

I've transplanted a few more tomato and pepper plants at the riverhouse garden. Also the latest round of cukes and spaghetti squash. But I didn't have my camera. The butternut and acorn is just now sprouting.

This is from a few days ago.

I noticed these twins on one of my Chinese eggplant plants. One flower, 2 eggplants. I thought that was kinda cool.

Right now the okra is the star of the garden. The tomatoes were, but they are suffering from too much rain. At the sandhill garden I'm on a strict schedule of okra hoeing. It's one bowl smoked per two rows hoed. But I'm bad to get things backwards.

Never seen these big green striped tomatoes before. Waiting to see when they get ripe.

Harvested the garlic bed today. Planted 72 and 71 made it to harvest. I'll call that a win.

Harvest carefully to not damage the skin.
Dig it out carefully with a garden fork and pry then up from beneath the bulb. Don't pull out by the stalk. Shake off any dirt that comes away easily, don't wash them or go crazy removing the dirt.

If you have softneck you can braid them to hang, otherwise you can lay flat in a single layer on wire racks. Keep them out of the sun and air moving around them. I've read they cure better when the space gets hot (90+) but still has good air movement. * Edit* Cure for 3 weeks. Then clean up and store them

I'm sticking them in the shed on that rack with the cover removed and fans blowing.

My favorite part of the garden, paw paw tree grown from seed. Got a couple more but they're buried among other foliage. Things are about to get delicious in another 3-5 years...

Tomatoes coming along nicely. Planted different varieties all together and there is some awesome looking fruits! Just for fun!

Pick softneck for long storage but you need to dry both. Alot of people braid softneck and it makes for a very nice hang in the kitchen

Not mine but this is what it looks like if you haven't seen it before
