Getting ready to change out the greens and garlic for cabbages and beets.
No wonder you got so many strawbs! How many square feet of fruit you growing there? And good luck with the cabbages. I won’t be doing any brassica starts for about a month here. Everything I have left is starting to look like this
I think it’s like 8’ x 5’? 19 plants
Thanks, I haven’t successfully grown one before.
Ohh that’s bolted hard! Poor lil guy. Is it kale?
Nice. Watch it start taking over in the next couple seasons
Nah, that’s actually broccoli. The kale is right behind it. I do black magic kale and it is usually the last thing to start bolting. But! This is a good thing. I’m hoping to collect seeds this year, though I don’t know where I’m hoping this particular broccoli is getting pollinated from. We’ll see!
I like the little mini fences, very cute! What kind of beans are you growing?
Thanks. They’re just to let the dog know where not to go. She understands well actually.
My beans are called Rattlesnake. What do you grow?
Ive never heard of rattlesnake beans, looks fun! I mostly have just been putting perennial fruits in the ground, I’ve got raspberries, blueberries, Saskatoons, and elderberries. I might start some annuals next year
Amazing!!! So much variety, everything for self-use I assume?
Wanted to plant some tomatoes on our balcony this year again, but some health issues got in the way, and now I’m kinda glad because there has been practically no sun so far here in germany where I live.
Keep us updated if you want! Would love to see the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labor!
Oh I’m surprised to hear there’s no sun in Germany. Is that unusual for this time of year? Well it’s not too late to get some starts going in pots.
Oh and yes it’s a small garden it just feeds my wife and I with a nosh here and there. But thank you!
It’s been similar weather over here in the northwestern U.S., lots of clouds and periodic rain but unusually little sunlight for this time of year. I’m enjoying it personally since we’re not in a heatwave like much of the continent, but many of my plants are much less enthusiastic.
that’s really nice looking!
Thank you so much! Last year was such a disaster for me. Tried new things and they failed big. So seeing such growth this year is really making me feel good about myself and skills. I’m following to the letter this book “growing organic vegetables west of the cascades” by Steve Solomon and I love it.
Our raised beds here in Salem, OR are going absolutely nuts. Potatoes, sunflowers, garlic, chives, onion, basil, cabbages, chard, etc are all growing like crazy.
