What's in your garden and how are things going?
So, I have my very first garden planted this year and since it dominates my time I've become obsessed with other people's gardens
.
I've got the tomatoes and peppers mulched with newspapers and straw. Have had to dust for insects twice so far, had to do some mole control yesterday and have had some deer issues. My tomatoes are over 5 feet tall and fast outgrowing the cages. I'm having a bit of beginner's luck
Here's what I've got:
1 Cherry Tomato plant (green fruit set on)
2 Big Beef Tomato plants (also with green fruit)
2 Better Boy Tomato plants (also has green fruit)
6 Green Bell Peppers (have picked 2 so far)
5 Red Bell Peppers (haven't even bloomed yet)
2 Eggplants (have blooms on them)
1 Sweet Basil (have cut and dried twice now)
5 Jalapeno plants (have picked 2 so far)
1 Serrano pepper plant (2 on the plant)
1 Sahuaro pepper plant (have picked 3)
1 Cayenne Pepper plant (peppers just now turning red)
2 Cucumber Plants (bush pickle variety-- have picked 6)
3 rows of corn (deer got two stalks this past weekend.
