alrighty, so ive got some pics of a few things in the yard....things are going great so far...way less bugs than last year at this time, but we took some precautionary steps by planting deterrants and using natural pest repellants.
first off we got a Richmond Green Apple cucumber. I ate a done one of these today and it was friggin delicious...they get to about the size of a medium granny smith apple and taste wonderful...perfect for a salad or just eating like an apple!
next is a blurry shot of mr bumblebee doin work on my eggplant. every mornin when i come out to check on things and just stare at the garden there are a few of these guys out pollinating. oddly enough i enjoy the soothing buzz they make when flying around...hehe
here is a Marketmore 76 cucumber thats almost done. Havnt eaten one of these yet but i gifted one to a friends dad and he has eaten two or three and says theyre the best hes ever eaten.
here is one bed of many out back. in here is three diff cukes and a mini muskmelon in the back row, and two dif eggplants and yellow stuffing peppers in the front row. ive got my strawberry cough, blueberry, and skunk no 11 moms in there too along with a small afghan clone. ive planted the skunk out in a spot and the others will be joining them soon. they blend in perfect with the veggies.
here is a shot of the bed in front of that. in here i have a few diff eggplants in the far row, and a few peppers in the near one. you can also see all the banana plants im getting ready to split up repot and sell. in the earthbox to the left in the corner of the bed ive got about 10 auto ak47 seeds i just put in, and in another one in a diff bed ive got about 10 lowryder #1's.
here is a Kumari Sri Lanka eggplant. i gotta check but i think this one may be close, im not sure off the top how big they get.
and here is a Minnesota Midget with a few fruits comin off it. these dont get much bigger, but ive pulled two now a lil too early and they have a nasty taste...i think i pulled em way too early, they are supposed to be a "classic muskmelon" just mini'd..
theres a bunch more....but i couldnt fit all those pics into one post
....ive been walking around the yard grabbin fresh strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, cukes, eggplants, carrots and radishes, and more...its awesome...
hope everyone is enjoying their gardens so far...have fun..
