The mighty feijoa aka the pineapple guava.
Pretty pricey at $2 a go, so much so one fell into my pocket for a sample.
Needless to say a $2 feijoa tastes like shit from this market!
I’ll stick with mine from the garden.
That would be $80 worth in the colander.
Highly suggest planting these if you can.

I’m trying to get the green beans in today and okra too , but it might tomorrow. I’ve been running the rototiller for 6 hrs straight and I’m wiped out.
First year with the greenhouse. Container garden this year. Will be adding raised beds in the coming years. Going for a cantelope arch. San marazanos, Romas, Ghost, Reaper, Habenero, Lumbre Green Chile, NM Big Jim, poblano, Jalapeno, Okra, MaryJane. Just popped some peas for the arch too.

I have to buy calci/sand of that grade here.LOL.
Wasn't growing a garden this year. Well that is quickly going astray. My "few" plants for this year. Was supposed to be couple peppers and a sill box of strawberries.
Carrots, radish, broccoli, sunflower and milkweed in my mini mess. Sunflowers and a few radishes in the un touched bed, carryovers. 10 assorted peppers and 8 cucumbers in cages. And stuff still in starter pots.
Need to figure out where to hand extras off.
Hope all are happily growing.

Love it ! That's just what I need to too. Looks like you have plenty of space ! Great job.
Been struggling the last few years trying to get a garden started between the wind, the rabbits, grasshoppers and other critters. Greenhouse proving to be a game changer already, looking forward to hopefully my first good harvest in the desert.

That's gotta help a lot .......bet that wind blows like crazy over those large flat open spaces. I love how those stark , far-reaching open plains make me feel , there's a wonderment about it , something intangible. I'm sure your new grow will be awesome . I'll be looking for it !

Got some Asian greens and kale in the corner with Amy sugar tomato and a red aji pepper.
Some french heirloom snap peas, and soybeans that the bugs love to eat. Japanese cucumber starting to grow, next to some more tomatoes. (purple Russian grape and plum)
Lastly, English peas.

Did you do anything special to your soybean seeds to get them to sprout? I grew some a few years back and did not get a good stand.

Not really. Soaked, and sprouted in a napkin, put under LEDs till the had 2 sets of real leaves, then outside straight in the ground.
Next day 2 we're dead and other 2 we're almost dead. Sprayed them with soapy water, BTS, but they still keep getting eaten. Aphids, beetles and grasshoppers, everything seems to love to eat them.
I'm hoping to get some edamame from the two that are somewhat good.

Thanks. I planted right in the ground. Had a dozen plants when I should have had 75 or more. Later my BIL told me that farmers put some kind of enzyme or something on the seeds. He said it was a powder and they poured a soda on a bushel of seeds to make them sticky, then sprinkled the powder on them. I spend a lot on on edamame and would love to be able to grow my own.

Don't know about the enzyme, but I do remember something about industrial farmed soybeans being treated with something. I got my seeds from Baker Creek, supposed to be real good for eating.
Went to check on the plants because we are going through a heatwave right now and noticed the worst looking plant has a soybean.
