Tomato plant needs to be staked! And had 27 flowers at last count. The pepper plant is taking its sweet time. I wonder if its pot is too small... It's in a slightly smaller pot than the tomato plant.
We've had 2 80+ days here so far (one was yesterday lol). Which I'm happy about lol. Boyfriend sent me a pic of the garden, it seems to be doing good even with all of our rain here tooIt's been so cold and rainy (barely hit 80, let alone 90) that our garden is doing terrible. Supposed to get warm (80s) and sunny this week so maybe things will perk up.
Water. Container vegetables demand more water than in-ground. At least that's been my experience.Any other suggestions for container grown vegtables?
It's been so hot here that I have had to pull out dead / dying plants....We've finally had a couple weeks of 80+ degrees and the garden is taking off. Had some really good strawberries a couple weeks ago and some lettuce last week, but otherwise nothing to harvest yet. . .
Jealous!Not my gardening, per se, but my CSA is amazing this year! I'm allowed to customize what I get so I've toned down the bok choi this week and really excited for baby leeks!
Same here! We have so many leafy greens and I haven't eaten any of it so far, since I keep getting distracted eating the other stuff. I'm thinking escarole scrambled eggs tonight, just to cook it down and use it. So much cilantro, I love it, but 3 bunches? Oooof. But ditto on the storing: it seems like stuff I get from my share lasts way longer than in the store (like, salad mix lasting for a week or more as opposed to a couple days otherwise).Jealous!
I had to pawn off some of my CSA on my best friend and mother.
I'm drowning in leafy greens. But my farmer is amazing and her produce lasts so well, even if you screw up storing it.
Thankfully no cilantro yet.Same here! We have so many leafy greens and I haven't eaten any of it so far, since I keep getting distracted eating the other stuff.

I have tried to plant mint, but it wont even germinate.. Everything else has been growing from tomatoes to eggplants but this mint that supposedly spreads like a weed wont grow!Thankfully no cilantro yet.
The mint I got on 1 Jul isn't quite making it. But that's fine. I have a mint plants anyway lol
I'm pretty sure tonight's dinner is going to involve sauteed swiss chard and/or kale with eggs. It's so much.
And now boyfriend is like "I can have 72 plants in my new hydrophonic set up! I'm doing leafy greens!" and I'm sitting here like "save me please"
He's not being super helpful in the eating of the CSA .
I picked my 2 pole beans yesterday! And saw 2 small green tomatoes on the plant we got from his coworker!!!!
I guess your experi-mint failed.I have tried to plant mint, but it wont even germinate.. Everything else has been growing from tomatoes to eggplants but this mint that supposedly spreads like a weed wont grow!
Maybe the plants just need a little more encourage-MintI guess your experi-mint failed.
