Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How are the gardens looking?

Tomatoes are looking good, squash and jalapeños are doing OK, but cucumbers are sucking!

Just planted yesterday and today.

About time to plant up here

Dropped to 21° here on Thursday morning. Destroyed everything except the cold weather spinach and leafy greens. Everything was covered and protected, but that’s just too much for several hours at the temp.

Life at 7000’

Fortunately, we didn’t put out all the plantings and still have some indoors for replacements. We have a short growing season up here, 105 days on average, so it’ll be a race to get some veggies by the first frost in mid-September.

Likely plant my tomatoes and peppers tonight or tomorrow. We had frost up until 2 weeks ago, then tons of rain. Should be in the clear now.

Flea beetles are giving the eggplant hell, everything else is going well.

Tomatoes are almost ready, if I can just keep the squirrels and possums off them....

We don't plant until the first week on June. Still freezing now.

No garden this year.

I have the same issue, got trap out.

Just planted my potatoes and onions on Wednesday. Also put in some spring kale and lettuce. We had a visit from Jack here Wednesday morning so hopefully it didn’t get the apple trees.

It’s been a cold wet spring here and there have been a couple cold nights that would’ve taken a toll on anything planted. I’m waiting another week or so before getting everything in. I need to get another 6 or 8 chicks to stick under a broody hen too. Increasing the size of the flock from 23 to 35 or 40 for the time being.

Main garden

5 varieties sweet corn
Indeterminate tomatoes
Collards
2 cucumber varieties trellised
3 varieties onions, red, white, yellow sweet
Peppers, hot and mild
potatoes
Hales musk canteloupe- trellised

So far so good. I got mine in two days ago. It’s been warmer than usual for the past week with warm weather forecasted so I went ahead and planted a week or two earlier than usual.

Planted ours a week or two ago. It’s coming up good so far. The weeds aren’t far behind.

I expanded my raised bed garden this year. Just now shoveling potting mix soil into the expansion. $66 fricken dollars for 3/4 yard that I picked up with my utility trailer. Damned robbery. Next time I'll just find a patch of good soil and help myself.

I've got a problem with two of my tomato plants. Some kind of leaf curl. Never happened before so I'm a little stumped. No bugs that I can see, internet says my mulch might have residual herbicide in it. Dunno.

Garden annex for Determinate tomatoes
doubled this little patch this year. My Tyvek lasts about 4 years

No dogs allowed 👎🏼 (They steal tomatoes)

12 pot holes

Added 10 more. Most of the pot holes hold 3 plants each.

Garden? Hah. I planted stuff in the greenhouse 3 weeks ago and it's been so cold that not a single seed has come up yet. We've had a lot of nights below freezing and the days in the 40's.

Sweet potatoes

I have tomatoes on the vine about quarter size squash and cucumbers 4”-6” long. My garden is really doing well!
