Have you planted your fall garden yet? If so what are you growing?
*1. I’ve had some successes and many challenges. Here is my harvest from this morning.
*2. My challenges have been GRASSHOPPERS AND squash bugs. I let my tomato plants get away from me and did not prune them as I had intended. With a hopeful heart waiting on them to produce.
*3. So far potatoes have been my most productive. I planted 10#+ and harvested well over 100#s I have them stored in my basement on covered racks to keep light from them and plenty of air circulation. We’ll see how they fair over the winter. I have more that Ive shredded and blanched and froze.
*4. I planted my fall garden this week. Cabbage, broccoli raab, bush beans, peas, cucumbers, basil, dill, mustard, turnips, beets, raddishes, lettuce, kale, sweet corn and Etc. Its a wait and see game now what will germinate. In the spring, everything was from seeds that I started indoors.
I look forward to hearing how your gardening experience is going.
Sean, That would be about the number of tomatoes I’ve gotten this year too. I have about 100’ of romas planted, so far zero! lol. My Beef Steaks are finally putting on. H
I’ve been having pretty respectable results from my cherry tomatoes and the one jalapeno I planted. My watermelon are going to town and my herbs are doing quite well. The strawberries are middlin’ but my flowers are happily blooming (especially the zinnias next to my watermelon). A pair of monarchs spent all day Tuesday on my milkweed and even laid a few eggs which I think might hatch Saturday. I’m going to plant cilantro and lettuce when I can remember where I hid the seed packets from my cats….
Planted 10# yukon golds this year in half barrels i turned in large raised bed planters
I over planted potatos so my potatos were on the small to medium side. Like Paula i got about 100lbs back! Grand kids had fun digging them up said it was like hunting for easter eggs.
We got a bunch of sweet potatos planted not expecting much from them as i got a late start. My hydroponic lettuce is growing nicely in my 3d printed tower.
