naw unfortunately this season id gone for plants. didnt have time 2 do seed so i couldnt get crazy.

docfishwrinkle · Jul 15, 2009

5 days short of 2 months in the ground & ive already harvested 2 heads cheddar cauliflower & 4 heads broc along w/ handfuls of broc flowerettes. tom plants are 4 1/2 foot. soon ill be filling in cauli & broc voids w/ buttercrunch bib. ive been experimenting w/ diff teas appropriate for time period of plant stages. so between that & building up the soil for 6 yrs garden is in full swing. topsy turvy is good for people who cant have a real garden. works well but nowhere the size of my others. gave the turvy some nice soil blend & tons of organics. only ***** on the turvy is i believe they used a petroleum based foam disc which holds the plant. this is giving plant probs. anyone else notice this? pic in rocks is a gooseberry, related to currents but sweet & much larger. planted a stick this spring & its booming. even gave me 2 berries to share w/ wife. flower is potato. well gotta go mow b4 the rain.

Your garden looks great. Nice diversity of type and harvest time.
I had to look at least five times before I figured out what the horse shoe pit was. When you only see one it dose'nt click at first. Anyway keep posting pics, nice garden. Other members also have veggie garden pics in threads like"gardenshots" and "largest tomato compitition" .
Take care and good growing.

very nice Doc....yea my dogs hit my garden early too and the cantalopes suffered and my "Poncho" got into the waatermelon patch and now avoids it ( the squirts bout did him in....lol)

Wow nice garden. I stay in a desert so its hard to grow out doors. Good job.

docfishwrinkle · Jul 21, 2009

well 6/6 broc r done. 4/6 cheddar cauli are done so i think its time to put in buttercrunch lettuce that i didnt have room for earlier. to those who grow leaf lettuce. if u already dont know when comes time to harvest cut @ 2" above ground & youll have a plant that keeps on giving. dont pull plant.

meds4me · Jul 21, 2009

I already did that :-( but the heat was wilting the hell out of 'em. My back yard is bare as a monkey's butt so next year will be MUCH BETTER and will have a "green house" set -up runnin.

meds4me · Jul 21, 2009

As a side note when i lived in so cali i grew roses the size of dinner plates ! Roses LOVE coffee grounds and the smell will come alive.
This year was tough with me gettin leg surgeries etc. So overall it was very lacking ( garden wise).

docfishwrinkle · Jul 21, 2009

roses r nitro & epsom hogs.
