Tonight's Harvest
« on: August 12, 2015, 11:01:34 PM »
Things have been going bonkers with the stretch of sun we've had. Especially the tomatoes. Took at least 2 gallons of tomatoes off 2 days ago, and a ton more tonight. Lots of other goodies too, we couldn't pick it all so will go after it tomorrow too. This is at my sisters house, great valley soil, and we panned the garden in the shape of triangle within the arc of an elevated sprinkler. Has worked great so far! No fertilizer or pesticides either. Quick tip: plant marigolds in your veggie garden to keep afids away

Ha! Those are plums boss. I wish those were blueberries, one of my favorite fruit!

Kyle that looks great.  I'm looking forward to a fall garden now that I have a tractor.
Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Lookin good Kyle!
I sure miss having a growing season. We're too short for just about everything.
Can do lettuce, radishes, carrots and the like. Have a couple great rhubarb plants too.
In the woods and on the island at the cabin all sorts of wild raspberries and strawberries.

When we were south I had it all, tried the first couple seasons up north and accepted not enough heat. We are trying onions this year in planter boxes. The green onions will make it, not sure on the others though, may not be long enough, time will tell.

It's sure great reaping the fruits of thy labour though. Enjoy the fresh produce!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Thanks guys. We enjoy it, and really enjoy sharing with coworkers and friends too!

Any thoughts of making a green house?

I have quite a bit of experience at growing hydroponically indoors using organic means.  You can grow no matter where you are.  If you are ever interested in getting into it, let me know.  It is very cool because you control the light duration and color, the nutrients, atmosphere, and there are no pests.  Plus plants grow in 1/2 the time and yeild much more.

I wish my dang tomatoes would ripen up already. I juice most all of them. I like me a good red beer. The wife likes warm tomato juice with her grilled cheese.
