TOO Garden Thread

Lol, that one actually didn't come with one. I bitch every damn day about it being in the middle of the fucking sidewalk though. Oh well, life of having kids. Some day I'll miss bitching about the little things.
 
Looking good fellas!

I gave up and let mine go feral. I'm picking stuff as I can, but just had too many hot irons and some horrible luck with water in July, so it's a shit hole right now. Always good to kick your ass kicked at/by something. Teaches you stuff and I learned a couple great lessons this year. I'll be back better than ever next year!

I feel your pain Jesse. With working 2nd shift and having the kids in the morning before work, my garden resembles a jungle. I have been relegated to just trimming it on the weekends with the weed whip.

Cherry tomatoes are coming daily now. Still haven't picked my first full sized tomato but there is one that is about half orange now. Yellow peppers are coming quickly and are hot for sure. Many jalapeno's growing, had a couple and have a couple ready to pick any day now. Anaheim's I've had 2 and have 2 real good one's ready. Habanero's, got 2 small one's and plenty of flowers still.
 
I let my garden go to the weeds this year, but all was not lost. Got some corn and beans put up for special occasion family dinners. Tonight I got a run of salsa in and I still have 4 gallon of peppers to make mustard and pickled peppers with. Feels good putting up your own goodies!

I'm hoping this is the last winter I don't start my garden from seed. Once we get moved, I'll have the perfect spot for doing what you're doing Giles. Looks great man!
 
I’d like to build her an actual greenhouse next year. We will see what happens though. One of these days I’d like to put a vehicle in my garage...and a greenhouse seems a lot cheaper then my shop😂.

Build your shop and put the greenhouse on the south side of it. Sorta like a lean too. That way you only have to have the front and roof with clear panels. Neighbor behind us did that and it works great.

Looks like today is the start of the stem building. She starts with a small fan blowing on them and works her way bigger as they get stronger. This really seems to help as we don’t ever have any blow over or bend over in the spring storms.

Besides tomato’s, those get stakes and tied.
