How does your garden grow?

[moricollins]

Here's our backyard, corner garden, largely perennials.



There's also the front yard Garden and the vegetable garden but I didn't take pictures of them yet.

It's like pappy always said,
You gotta put that hoe to work!

I don't have the land and container gardens aren't my thing, but here's my dad's current garden.

I believe this year its cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and banana peppers (asparagus is always there). The tomatoes and sweet potatoes are family heirlooms at this point. I couldn't tell you what variety they are, but they're the same ones my grandparents grew and every year the seeds/seed potatoes are saved for next year.

I've yet to make a dollar off T's. Lol
Nothing ever takes it all up. It's just an hour here and there. Beats watching TV.

It's officially berry season!

Mulberry and blackberry.
The best part is, they haven't even peaked, yet.

We had two subtropical weeks here, everything that shouldn't grow has skyrocketed!

We got a boost this year.
Mellow spring.
A warm dry period during flower. Then, some cool rain. Now, hot and mainly dry for fruit to set. Couldn't ask for more.

Gross.

Flags, flowers, and fur friends. So gross!

I lost all my beans and lettuce to the epic heat wave even though they got watered twice a day. Kinda discouraging but at least they grow fast so I can have another chance.

It's my lawn.
Three dogs will wreck your grass quicker than than a slip n slide.

There's still time.
Throw those beans down all over the place.

How's your pumpkin?

Everything else looks fantastic regardless.

How's your pumpkin?

On it's way to take over the world, lol. Gains like 4 inches a day. Thanks for asking I'll get some pics today while I am cleaning and pruning.

Yep, we're about 30-40 mins north of STL, on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River.

Oh man, I think I need a second life to see all I want to see

Ok, maybe not the world, possibly the neighborhood.





Gourds are fun. I really wouldn't mind becoming a pumpkin farmer if I had some land

First passion fruit flower!

 

[aprilmayjunebugs]

Early Saturday to late Tuesday. My estimation was pretty close.

 

[DomGom TheFather]

It has begun.



Filling in nice.
Amazing what three weeks will do.
