Show Us What You're Growing

[Elton's BBQ]

My hair is growing..

[smokenoob]

Ah yes and classic symptoms of the Heineken-virus20

[Donw]

We have peas. I guess it is a big deal here only because checking the garden beds has become part of my daily stay at home routine. In the past I subscribed to the Darwinian theory of survival of the fitness. Plant them and reap the survivors.

[CaptainMike]

Awesome!! We're still a couple of weeks away, but the starts in the greenhouse have never looked better. Getting pretty excited.

Expanded to add some tomatoes. Just added in a drip system to my raised beds as well. Already have jalapeños, pepperoncini, Thai chili’s, and a Real Deal hybrid habaneros coming in. As well 6 other species that are coming along that go up to the 7 pot primo and maruga chocolate in heat level. I did the Deathnut challenge and they sent me a package of dried Carolina Reapers and I am going to see if any of the seeds are still viable for next years growing season.

I was in the garden today and decided to take a photo or two. The day lilies are some that I bred a number of years ago.

Tomatoes and corn

Nice!

This years "spring" garden is done. For the moment. Everything got started 2 months later than normal, because reasons.


Tomatos and a plethora of potted pepper plants.



Cukes, green beans and snow peas. Chocolate Beauty bell pepper in the barrel planter.



The pepper patch. The big plants that have fruit on them overwintered from last year.



The herb garden.

We've given up feeding the neighborhood deer, squirrels, and chipmunks. But I do enjoy looking at your gardens. Thanks.

Habaneros, jalapenos, serranos and basil in pots

Cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, brussel sprouts, broccolini, red peppers and various bell peppers. First time with the sprouts and the broccolini so I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Getting there. Peas, broccoli and spinach are now gone and their areas replanted with Summer crops. Squash and zucchini plants have been producing quite well. Lettuce is ready to bolt so it will pulled soon. It has provided us with a salad each night since March so we will miss it until the Fall. Second plot of carrots have now erupted and we are looking forward to them again. Eggplant, tomato plants and pepper plants are all producing well. Any available spaces we have planted green beans. Our bush lake bush 47 beans are worthless, less than 10% germination and sickly.) Now replanting most of them with "Top Crop," beans which are germinating well and rapidly growing.

Awesome!!!

[CaptainMike]

Looks fantastic, Don!

Your nice tidy gardens put mine to shame. I killed the grass, waited a month (nothing grew back) and tilled the area. Weed grass started growing everywhere - guess there were some dormant seeds in the dirt. I planted 25 tomatoes (Roma and San Marzano - stakes in the pics below) and 17 Tabasco peppers - between the house and tomatoes. All are growing great. I bought a Black & Decker hand held battery powered grass trimmer yesterday to cut between the plants - waste of money, cheap junk. Used less than an hour and I'm returning it. Will try to find a vintage electric hand trimmer like dad had in the early 1980s on ebay. Around the corner of the house there are about 85 pepper plants: multi-colored bells, jalapenos, poblanos, a few Big Jim Hatches, and some chili petins (also called chili pequins or chili tepins).

This area is shaded after 1:30pm. Hard to see the tomatoes because of the weeds but they are 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall right now. Tabasco seeds came from a 3 year old plant at my office - it is almost 8 feet tall.

Probably over planted again, but starting to see tomatoes and peppers

Last summer, I stated a couple of "Charapita" pepper plants, which took a year to produce. We don’t get much of a winter in my neck of the woods. I’ve noticed several different types of pepper plants just seem to thrive after going through some cool weather. Back to the Charapitas. These are an Ajà type of pepper from the Amazonian parts or Peru.

They are fruity, kind of tropical citrusy, and with a hint of Caribbean sweetness. I think they are somewhat mild, but everyone else rates them as hot. When it comes to heat, I rank them similar to a Tabasco or a Cayenne pepper in my opinion... 30k to 50k SHU.

Went ahead and mildly ran these through the food processor, and made a jelly with them. For some reason, of all the hot peppers I’ve ever grown, these are the only ones that my wife likes. So these plants will end up having a permanent place in our garden. I almost pitched them because they just looked like a small healthy green little tree, but no flowers till a year went by. I’m happy to have waited, and given them a chance. They just seem to take awhile, will have to see how they keep throughout the next few months, and years. Will see. In any case, here are some pictures.

Cheers,
Ricardo

Plant is about 4 feet tall.




Small berries, they look like pettitpois.

[Richard Chrz]

There is some serious garden talent in here.

[MBMorgan]

Other than a little injection site pain, I’m doing fine ...



... no, really ...

[Donw]

The next batch to go into the garden this weekend and next week.

[CaptainMike]

Wow, you can plant outdoors this early ? We can't plant until after Memorial Day, and we've even been frost-kissed in July.

[theroc]

Tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos getting ready to transplant in a week or two.
