Took these pics this morning

Here go a few pics of my garden from about a week or so ago. I wish I had pics of my from today because we've had some better weather this week and the plants really started to take off a bit.

In the link that BsnTech provided is this quote; "I am really beginning to be a believer in using a pressure sprayer to spray down your plants with compost tea."

Do you really use a pressure washer, or do you use an ordinary garden sprayer? My pressure washer can lift paint and erode concrete. It won't be going anywhere near my garden.

I think he may have been talking about one of those continuous spray, pressurized tank sprayers that you pump air into by raising and lowering the handle. At least, that's how I took it. A pressure washer would blast the plants into oblivion, lol.

i like the dark lattice against the fence. thought about that but ended up with the more primative twine and posts for cukes. i hope they withstand the weight!
looks great.

Yup - pressure sprayer like what spaghetina said - has the pump at the top and you pump in air to pressurize the tank.

here is a video of our garden

I think the picture threads are my favorites. Very true is the saying, "A picture's worth 1,000 words." It's fun to see how everyone stakes/protects/borders/twines... and it's so interesting to see the variations in growing seasons from the different parts of the country. Beautiful stuff, gang!

I'm getting hungry.
Mom's helper, that's not a veggie garden, it's a farm!
Lovely gardens.

here is a video of my garden.. got a late start due to all the rain. but now the sun is shinin and I can't wait..
Great gardens you all have. I hope mine does well. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget to hug a vet or active service member.. We can do what we do, cause they do what they do. :)

Here's a link to all of mine. So far everything is doing well with the exception of all of the muskmelons. Squirrels ate them all in two days. Ugh...

Here is a few of my shots of the small plot of a yard I crammed everything in that I could.
The picture of the watermelon is in a strawberry planter that didn't work for strawberries so I stuck a watermelon plant in it and it took off well I got a watermelon I did't know how to keep it from pulling on the vine so I used an old bra, I think farmerdilla will get a kick out of that. Maybe I will get another watermelon so I can have both sides filled out. lol

lolear...
You obviously love growing things...I see your beautiful flowers in the background. Great use of containers esp. the red tubs next to the wall and the stand on wheels for the greens...no breaking your back for harvest and you can move them to the shade (if need be)
I can see a country estate in your future...not too much...a few acres you may call "paradise"

Quite relieved to see the massive pruning job I did on the cherry tomatoes seems to have slowed the septori blight to a crawl, I think I'll get a decent crop, even if the plants are short lived. The Thompson seedless grape is producing quite a few clusters now after almost none last year, so no complaints here.

{{gwi:59418}}

The broccoli tree seems to be overtaking the tangerine trees, so even though it's still producing, it's time for it to go soon.

{{gwi:59419}}

I've thinned it a bit since I took this a week ago, but these cilantro flowers are some of my favorite "you CANNOT get this in a store" spices, a taste halfway between coriander & cilantro that is great in SE Asian & Mexican cusine.

{{gwi:59420}}

Straight Eight Cucumber behind some Ebeneezer onions. No cucumbers yet, but the bees did stop by today. The onions are wrong for my short-day zone, but it's what the garden center had. They make nice sweet scallions and they multiply.

First San Marzano paste tomato which I picked tonight.

A couple garden shots. I have a small lot, less than .25 acre, but part of the back yard has been enclosed and I have a walk-in garden. I mulch heavily with newspapers and straw to help keep the weeds controllable and build up my sandy soil.

Lonmower -
Thanks for the kind words! I am really just a novice but I do enjoy it! Wish I could take credit for the flowers but those are my neighbor's :). I do have flowers in the front of my house but the back is mostly edibles... This year I got a bit greedy and decided to branch out with the containers. Might have gone a little overboard... A couple of acres might be nice but I will be a city mouse for a while yet.

Here are some I took this morning.

Hi, new to the forums. I have been growing various things in raised beds and have had to deal with frost in the winter and early spring and now we are into 90-100 degree weather. I'm just hoping that some of my plants don't get burned into nothingness. Here's what my garden looks like so far...

ardsmommy, nice collards.

I just put pictures on the web (I think) for the very first time today. You can't see many crops, but you can see my setup.

Just a couple of quick pics to show off my garden. These pics were taken May 24th. It is amazing how fast the garden has grown in the past 2 weeks. I don't think my garden has ever taken off this good. I will post more pics hopefully tomorrow.

Just a snapshot of the greenhouse taken from the garden.
{{gwi:59440}}

Peas growing up the trellis. To the left of the peas is corn, and to the right is green beans.
{{gwi:59441}}

Potatoes are starting nice. The potato plants have grown 12+ inches in the last 2 weeks. To the right of the potatoes are the onions. There are 3 different kinds of onions. Red, white, and yellow.

I simply love the variety of gardens, planting styles, and photography styles! Just one from me today - an overview on my garden walkaround.

{{gwi:59444}}

From left to right - onions with a row of parsley, bush beans - both a yellow and green, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, two plantings of two kinds of basils, cucumbers to vine up the tepees, zuchini both yellow and green. At the far end is the 'pumpkin patch' you can just make out the marigolds planted around the perimeter and I have some nasturtiums just starting to germinate. The pumpkins go in the middle. And allllll around the back is my husband's corn - it is looking pretty great. I can see the tassels coming up inside so we are about 4-5 weeks away from corn.

The raspberry patch that formerly was in the beds to the right of the 2nd fence has died out - this fall I will probably replant it.

Between the fences are some flag iris - a friend sent them years ago and I didn't know what to do with all that germinated so I 'plunked' them there for temporary holding. Then I worked out of town for 7 years and the garden really was badly neglected. This year I'm back.

One very badly pruned grapevine on the back fence which is blissfully out of view. I put gourds on the front one. There are also a trio of rhubarb plants next to the faucet that I got from a friend this spring.

There were no early lettuces that I used to always put in and also no snap and snow peas - next year.

Some of the garden today, Japanese sword beans, Mississippi purple hull peas, hyacinth beans, winter squash and melons.

{{gwi:59452}}

Great gardens everybody! Cindysunshine, how are your plants so big already in zone 5?

Here's half of my garden this past Sat.
{{gwi:59453}}
Hard to see what everything is, but going clockwise from the front left is peas/lettuce/mustard greens and some small peppers and tomatoes. Going to pick the mustard greens and lettuce this week to give the peppers more room. There is also a few trombonchino squash growing among the peas. I'll pull the peas in a couple weeks to give those more room.

Behind that is chives, hot peppers & cucumbers. I covered the cucumbers with a crazy rowcover contraption by velcroing it to the fence after I took this pic LOL. Already saw two cucumber beetles - I hope I'm not too late to save them.

Behind that is an herb garden, and to the right of that a strawberry bed.

In front on the right is two tomatoes in the back, then under the rowcover are two cavili parthenocarpic squash (take that svb!) and some basils in the front. Oh and calendulas in front of the basils in the ground.

In the big bare space behind the basils I'm going to plant some chinese cabbage, lettucy type this week.

Here's a pic of the crazy rowcover velcroed over the Diva cukes. There is a trellis underneath leaning onto the fence for them to grow up. I hope this works!!
{{gwi:59454}}From Garden 2010

You can also see the 3 peppers in front of it, thai hot dragon, ancho & jalapeno. There are more pics at the link too.

I am in Central Illinois and we've had near idyllic growing conditions for tomatoes. I started them from seed inside in March, we put them in the garden about a week into May which is early - but it turned out well, perfect rains and then we mulched and caged them before the unusual heat. They really are big for this early a couple weeks ahead of normal.

Here is the updated pics I promised. These pics were taken today, which is 2 weeks after that I posted yesterday.

I LOVE seeing all the pics of everyone's garden, and their own personal style, it is fabulous and can't wait to see more :)

gjcore-I LOVE your style, very original, and the seashells and rocks add a wonderful touch IMO.. I have 2 boxes of shells and have been tryig to figure out something to do with them so maybe that's an idea!

Everyone's pics are great, love, love seeing them, only now I am getting antsy for some ripe toms :)

Happy gardening to you all.
