Gardens. How is your doing??

old · Jun 22, 2013

I do not know but it sure seems like my garden is off to a slow start. Have yet to pick a red tomato and most of the other stuff is in the same boat. Peepers are not very tall and have just started to bloom

Anonymous-0 · Jun 22, 2013

the weeds are doing real well! Now I'm growing hay bales - see post below lol!

Janicholson · Jun 22, 2013

I have Boc Choy 8 inches tall, peas are 7 to 10, strawberries are just turning red (We ate 2). We are about 3 weeks behind normal. Jim

mine is behind yours but everything is growing well, this shot was taken ten days ago and things have really grown cnt

Royse · Jun 22, 2013

Mine isn't doing well this year either. Very slow.
I'm not sure, but it may have been drowned from the floods.
Dry now, except for watering, but not doing real well.

old · Jun 22, 2013

Saw that but did not answer it. You have to watch where you park them bales or they will try to run you and other things over. Have hay down right now and plan to bale on Monday. Could maybe do it tomorrow but figure I can let it dry out a bit more and not hurt a thing. Already have 17 big round done and just got started

Dont have a garden,but all my field crops are short and way behind....

Ted in NE-OH · Jun 22, 2013

Terrible too much water, had to replant.

Russ from MN · Jun 22, 2013

Ours was too wet, finally on June 8 we scratched the surface and planted it! some of it is up, now it is too dry, we are watering.

montidale · Jun 22, 2013

Sloooow. We had a cold spring. We are just starting to get some warm weather up here in Minnesota. About the only thing growing good this year is the grass seed and rhubarb.

Eldon (WA) · Jun 22, 2013

We are two weeks early out here. My wife has sold close to $750 in greens, peas, onions, garlic scapes and beets already. We usually don't open the produce stand until July. Beans, tomatoes, potatoes and peppers are blooming. First planting of sweetcorn is knee high already.

Mines looking pretty good considering the late spring here in west Mn.

Rich, just south of you in the hot springs AR area we are just now starting to get some red tomatoes. Peppers are putting on now too. Carrots almost ready to pick. Squash and zukes were doing good but have slowed down again. Watermelons are taking off like wild fire.

Can I get some of your pepper recipes? I'd love to try that jalapeño jelly! Email is open.

JD Farmer · Jun 23, 2013

Well I have to spoil you guys' fun. Mine is doing great, harvesting, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, red beats, and cabbage, already with everything else growing like crazy.

Fergienewbee · Jun 23, 2013

Some is doing very well: cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, beans and tomatoes. Corn is way behind. Time for a shot of N. Planted a few more hills of pickles a few days ago. Food plot corn is knee high.

old,

Did not plant anything this year - has been too wet in SE MN. Asparagus never came up, neither did daffodils I planted last year. I don't think our apple trees have any apples on them either.

Could have gotten something planted the first weekend in June - except we were busy getting ready for our son's graduation party.

Dave in Tx · Jun 23, 2013

Not good this year. Have only had 4 inches of rain since Jan 1. Pulled onions and have one row of potatoes to get yet. Corn never got over knee high and just got 4 dozen ears off. Okra and black eyed peas only thing left. Pond been dry since last summer and water restrictions can't do any outside watering. VERY dry in this area. Grasshoppers eating leaves off trees and anything else that doesn't move.

Billy NY · Jun 23, 2013

Upper garden, with 3 kinds of tomatoes, row of bell peppers, cucumbers, egg plant, broccoli and lettuce doing well, need to get some mulch down for weeds is all, its late, but ok, planted that on June 5th, but the row of sweet corn did not germinate, I will replant 64 day corn after taking one close look again, had to be all the rain. I planted a 50x80 patch of sweet corn on friday, all the darned rain, could not get in there, and in that patch, I put a full row of 3 kinds of onions, and 2/3 of a row of potatoes, 3 types, now watering that one, to get it to start, and have to scrounge up some fence to keep the deer off the corn, thankfully I got the adjacent field cut, before I broke a spindle on the 850 Ford which is now sitting in the field with the front end on a jackstand.

larry@stinescorner · Jun 23, 2013

its sunday morning ,I took these pictures yesterday,the peppers are slow,everything else looks ok so far,but there is deer around,Im getting worried they will wipe me out

NEKS · Jun 23, 2013

Sunflower,Sunflowers,Sunflowers Been putting up brome hay all this week and forget about garden. Looked last evening and after I cut some sunflowers two feet high the tomatos, peppers and cucumbers don't look to bad. Need a rain pretty bad right now. Got more hay off of 50 acres this year, then I did 180 last year.

johnlobb · Jun 23, 2013

Had no germination on an entire row of yellow beans, and the frost nipped some tomatos and peppers so I pulled the worst tomatos and replanted and put the frost damaged stuff in planters and wherever I could find and all is doing well now. I never had a germination failure like that though. After a cold spring in central Michigan the garden is behind last year, but the strawberries are doing much better this year.

Bret4207 · Jun 23, 2013

Ours isn't even all in yet. Tomatoes and and peppers are in but not doing much.I did get in 50 lbs of Red Pontiacs that are just breaking ground. Peas and beans are in and up. THe rest is coming, but it's been so wet we haven't been able to do much.

El Toro · Jun 23, 2013

I will soon have green beans. We've had over 7 inches of rain this month. Our Chow dog Sugar is in several pictures. Hal PS: Here are some pictures of my little garden and my wife's Earth Boxes.

El Toro · Jun 23, 2013

I forgot the Hydrangea picture. Hal

BAnNC · Jun 23, 2013

Everything we have is WAY behind this year. Tomatoes are blooming and starting to show marble sized fruit. Had one handful of yellow squash. Nothing else ready or close. Didn't help that when spring started to come in, so did the rain. Then it was cold again, then rain, etc. We should do well later. Maybe in time to get some to eat and put away.

Mo in NE Tx · Jun 23, 2013

Dave, I've finally figured it out, with this gardening thing. I have decided to just raise grasshoppers. I've got the best crop ever this year. They ate everything, onions, garlic, beans, cabbage, canelope, cukes, squash. Only thing they havent ate is the okra. Patio is covered with their droppings where they're in the trees now.

Dave in Tx · Jun 23, 2013

We didn't have any til last spring. Bad grasshopper crop about 15 miles north and had a bad windstorm out of the north. Had an instant crop of them next day. Don't appear to be bothering the okra, but can't water it so is going to be short lived. Could sure use some of the excess other areas are getting. Told SWMBO it does not rain on the just and unjust alike LOL.

SweetFeet · Jun 23, 2013

Gee El Toro, that is beautiful! So is your vegetable garden.

NY 986 · Jun 23, 2013

I need to hire you for my garden. Even better is just to have you grow it on that fine soil down there. I may just have to visit to get some good produce.

guido · Jun 23, 2013

Hello old,

Mine is doing pretty good. Lost all of it to the storm last year. Maybe I'll do better this year.

Guido.

Paul from MI · Jun 23, 2013

A bit late this year, but it's all looking good. Never thought after last years drought that we'd have a normal year again.

Gardens. How is your doing??
