I planted my garden in a new spot next to the house on May 27th and its done really good. I've been getting squash and zucchini for over a week, cucumbers are coming off now, my tomatoes are loaded, and corn is head high. Beans are doing great and my watermelons are softball sized and up. Dug my first young potatoes this week and they look great. How's everyone else's looking?

Not as good as yours. Started late, but we have a longer growing season. Just a small garden I made out of old igloo coolers(red-neck refurbishing). portable and environmentally friendly. Sarge

picked beans and canned twice, have had sugar peas and new potatoes. Lookin' good.

A local guy grows a ton of vegetables in 5 gallon buckets on his deck, and does really good with it

When did you plant Gary? My beans probably won't come off for a couple more weeks

Latest I ever planted, zucchini starting to get big enough to eat
Black raspberries are ready

Been pickin zukes, cukes and sugar snaps a few weeks now. Have picked a few bell peppers and jalapeños. My tomatoes not so good. Corn is tasseled, watermelons(sangrias)are gettin big fast. Probably around 5-8lbs.

Planted late and it is DRY.

Tomatoes are finally coming on strong, cucumbers running out my ears, pepper plants bigger than I've seen. Corn is head high, and looks like it will be ready in a couple weeks... ears are filling out now. Beans are in full bloom, and there are some small beans just starting on them. Melons.... meh.

Late planting here, but the raspberries are about to come thick....in the next week or so.

Best garden year I have ever had. First year at this garden in Western NC. Potato was good, squash, onion, chard, kale, carrots all excellent. No tomato or okra yet. Pole beans are blooming.

About the same here. Looks like I may have a bummper crop of raspberries this year. Beans are starting to blume, pickles are struggling but my potatoes are doing great. Recent stoms have been hard on my corn but it looks like it's recovering.

Hail pretty much took care of ours, put some fertilizer to it today. ? But not looking good.

Not so good. It has been possibly the coldest start to a summer I can remember here. Middle of June I was scraping ice off the windshield. Most of that month it has struggled to get into the low 60s. Consequently my corn is maybe 12 inches tall. I do have some lettuce and the strawberries are about over. Everything else is a month away at least. Broke into the 70s today so things are maybe looking up.

Now that I got my electric fence working again my tomato plants can regrow somewhat, stupid deer, royal pain everywhere

didn't plant at home and or on the rez.
the first time in roughly 20+- years

Pretty neat seeing when everyone has their crops coming off all over this great nation. I put my new garden spot in right below my old barn where I dumped horse manure for 15 years we had horses, been sitting there for about 10 years so I made me a small garden there and haven't even had to fertilize. Hope everyone has plenty to put up for winter

Deer are tearing up the tomatoes ,putting up some fence today. Corn should be ready in3 weeks beans and cukes and potatoes look good.

very good,picked a bushel of peas yesterday.

already dug lots of red and white potatoes, corn is done and in the freezer. I

only have tomatoes squash and cukes still going

I got planted late too. Well after Good Friday but we've had good rains.
I had deer trouble last year so put up some solar sidewalk lights from Dollar General. No problems so far. I think it's working.

The last pic is garlic.

First year growing things vertical cukes and beans are 4 feet up the cattle panels but nothing to pick. Beets are doing well and tomatoes look good but nothing even close to pick yet.

Got my first cucumbers this morning, peppers will be coming off in a couple days, hoping to have enough beans to can 100 quarts, they are blooming now

Ate my first garden tomato last night.

It's officially summer here had BLT and sweetcorn last night. All from the garden except the bacon and bread. OhioBoy what kind of tomato is the green and red one?

I'm really late this year. Usually start seeds in the basement around the third week of February and put plants in the ground around late April/early May. Heart thingie got me on Feb 17. Between the rain and 90 plus temps I didn't put in the first plants (mater and some eggplant) until Early June. It took me almost three weeks to get everything out of my little greenhouse and in to the garden. Been in the 90's for 9 days now - a little cooler today - so have been pumping water from the brook every day. I did pick 4 pickler cukes yesterday and found a yellow squash about 7 inches long. Maters have fruit on them. Burpee's 4th-of-Julys may be 4th-of-Septembers this year. Some peppers took early but it's been way too hot for their blossoms to set. They'll be late I guess. Cukes, squash and zukes are loaded with blossoms.

Very wet spring and summer here. Went in late and slow going so far. It'll be OK in the nd but no great harvest. Glad I don't have a family of ten depending on it to eat. Some of my neighbors just gave up this year, and that never happens. Lots of mildew in the potatoes and tomatoes, even amongst people who know what they're doing. Just rains too much and then stays humid afterwards. Let's not even talk about haying.

Pete

Same humidity here Swift.

I've had to fungicide twice already and it doesn't look like it may have been enough on several plants.

We had great weather about the time I put mine in the ground, nice warm days and showers at night but it's been hot and dry as of late, but we are getting a good rain today. This is my first time growing watermelons and they are loaded with fruit, hopefully they will turn out good.

honey and cream
no chemicals here...purely organic

I am very glad that I ignored the urge to plant a garden this spring. It is so dry here, that trees are dying.

Tap that aquifer Lee, lol.

Picked the first of the cucumbers yesterday. Cant keep the birds out of the everbearing strawberries even with netting. Tomatoes will be a another week or so before they start getting ripe. Green peppers havent grown an inch since planting. My cream of Saskatchewan watermelons are coming along nicely, though one of the bigger ones split on me.

Trying some maze morado corn this year, its starting to tassle and the first ears are starting to appear on the stalks.

We have more volunteer tomato plants coming up than we planted.

I have two, one in lighter soil in my yard that I planted potatoes, onions, peas, early radishes, spinach and lettuce. The spuds look to be doing very well. I will dig my first hills of early Norlands later today. Strawberry yields were low this year but flavor was good.
The later garden is on clay soil 6 miles away much closer to the big lake and thus warms slowly. Really good early broccoli crop so far with my tomatoes, squash, corn, carrots, vine plants and dill over there along with the peppers.

Early garden was planted early May (late for us) and the later garden about May 24th with some replanting in June.

Today I gave the tomatoes a shot of fungonil to curb septoria leaf spot and other fungal pathogens, fertilized the tomatoes and onions, and attempted to make my garden look like someone cares. I'll finish with the watering of the tomatoes with the Miracle grow wand. They are already bedded in soil heavily fortified with cow manure.

I'll do a first picking of raspberries today too.

Just started picking snap peas, zukes, thinning beets and picking blueberries. We have had some really hot weather this summer coupled with a cold wet spring. Dug a couple hills of baby reds and they look great, tomatoes are at least a month away, pickles are starting to come on.Picked a few raspberries today also.Patrice pulled a row of garlic yesterday.

Zim

haven't even planted yet

Nice looking corn west river, we are still a ways out, my corn is 7ft high and just starting to top out. Peppers are about ready, tomatoes are turning and squash and cukes are still producing heavy

corn here went crazy this yr....even field corn is way over my head.

Harvested my first bushel of half runners today, and got some in the crockpot now with some fatback, going to can the rest.

I am eating cucumbers and a few pole beans.

Awesome! Minnesota Vikings purple soil!! Lol

I just took them pics a few minutes ago and it's getting dark. That soil is heavily fortified with rotted black cow manure, and miracle grow. I suppose it's giving off some radiation of sorts, lol.

Lol, ya my cell does not do well in low light either! Just had to say it

That was out of my good camera, lol. My cell would have took a dark, green ish hued pic .

Good looking garden Les, my tommy toes are ripe and my big tomatoes are turning, peppers are about ready and a dug a hill of my potatoes and they look great. Corn should be ready next week. It's been a great year for the gardens here

Nice gardens guys!

This year I had no chance for a garden. Wife was having heart attacks and procedures.

So, my garden is 3 tomato plants in planters on the porch. Picked the first two tomatoes today. I hope Wifey enjoys them.

Do any of you guys grow little tiny things that look like tiny watermelons? Last year a guy gave us about a dozen. They were interesting and tasty. What are they?

I used to grow some Sugar Baby watermelons up here, and they would grow best if I planted them and cantaloupe right through black plastic on top of the garden. I had a wheel barrow of watermelon, and all the cantaloupe came ripe on about the same day.

I could have hot Hungarian peppers in my eggs at breakfast, but I'll use the first ones in a batch of refrigerator pickles in about 10 days as cukes are coming nicely and I've eaten a couple.

Just eating the last of the tomatoes. The sweet potatoes are doing pretty good and the herbs are fine to. I think its to warm here for brussel sprouts. they don't do to well. Not bad going though for growing stuff on a boat

Les - I am familiar with the sugar baby watermelons. They are great.

The guy last year grew these things that were the size of a large grape and looked like a tiny watermelon. Wife said they were tasty. The entire berry is edible.

Green beans are done. Canned about 30 pints and 12 quarts. Eating tomatoes and cucumbers. Canning them too. Potatoes are looking great. Dug one hill and made it into potato salad. Onions are coming along. Sweet potatoes will take awhile...they take their sweet time.

trapper les, garden looks great!

Not a green bean fan, the only way I eat them is very young, raw right off the plant.

My son eat a bunch raw yesterday while we were stringing and breaking, but they taste like grass to me when raw

Picking my bush beans, zucchini, cucumbers and peas. Have a few ripe cherry tomatoes. Lots and lots of green tomatoes. They should start ripening any day now. Have some corn that is ready. Thunder storms and high winds knocked some corn over. Also had to really tie up the tomato plants. Some are close to 9’ tall. Had to bend them over and run them back through the string. My stakes are 6’ above ground and I’m all out of room to tie them higher.

Picking zucchinis now. Cherry tomatoes just got going, will have "regular" tomatoes in a week or so I think.

Jalapenos are just really getting going now and looks to be a bumper crop. As usual, my sweet pepper yields are not what they should be... haven't figured that out yet.

Giant pumpkins are going like gangbusters and I expect to have at least one over 100 lbs.

Next year, I'll have plastic on the hoop house and things should be quite accelerated as far as peppers and tomatoes.

I have crimson sweet, sugar baby, cantelope, and rattlesnake melon, corn is silking out, peppers half grown, tomatoes half grown

booooooming

Doing well until that summer nor’ester Came through the other night. Heavy branches loade with tomatoes snapped at the base!

I never had time to cage mine, they are all over the raised bed

We were very dry from early May until late June. We have had a tad over 9 inches over the last 9-10 days so water is not an issue now. Early crops like lettuce, peas, radishes, spinach etc. did poorly with hot and dry weather. Now all is really growing, so later peas, beans, zuccs, cucs, brocolli etc. are doing very well. Corn is setting ears, tomatoes have double in size the last two weeks and peppers are growing well.
The April blizzard really hurt our strawberries, raspberries and asparagus. All are about off over 50% with a lot of plants totally lost.

Bryce

Glad you finally got rain, I save about 90 gallons of rain water for hot dry weather

Doing pretty good

Been canning pickles for weeks now. Everything else is coming in now.

I haven't had a tomato or pepper year quite like this one in quite a while. Hungarian yellow wax peppers, just one of the many varieties I have growing. I have picked and put up all the ripe tomatoes or have them ripening in the house.

Moor Gold squash, slightly larger than buttercup. Does anyone else grow them ?

All done cept for sweet taters.

I just had my first 40 degree night last night. I pick my squash before I get too many of those.

Corn is done and stalks fed to the Herfords
Beans were soso but over now
Brocolli has been awesome.
Raspberries better than anticipated
edible pod peas OK regular peas not so good
Potatoes-variable earlies good later not so good
Onions good
Carrots good
green and hot peppers very good
Huge crop of tomatoes 40 quarts up and a 100 to go.
