Garden Pics
I told a few people my garden has exploded this year and it really has. I have been gardening back to eden style for the last five years in the greenhouse and the last 3 years in the garden. I start everything from seed and put my best plants in the garden as soon as possible. This year with the heavy rains the plants struggled terribly and I lost about 1/3 of my tomato plants. All from the Roma group but the Amish paste made up for them thankfully. Everything had a slow start that went into the garden but the greenhouse plants flourished. So I still transplant some here and there from the greenhouse to the garden.
Not only did the tomatoes and other plants come back strong but the fruit trees have been lush with fruit too as are the berry bushes and grape vines. I sprayed every two weeks this year with a homemade pest and anti-fungal mixture of garlic, dish soap, vegetable oil, cayenne pepper and tobacco. I may have put a few other herbs in there as well but those were the main ingredients. I use Neem oil regularly too and mix that from a concentrate.
There are potato beds covered with straw on the south side of the greenhouse with beans in containers. I may transplant those beans but might leave them to see how they produce like that. I companion plant and have pretty good results with that. The first picture is from June 23rd and the second from the 4th of July, just twelve days apart. I have a slew of pictures from today I post as well. Here's the first...
