Gardens how are your doing this year

old · Jun 19, 2011

Well so far not picked much yet but sure have a good start or so it seems. Brussels spouts seem to be looking good as are the tomatoes and hot peppers and the zucchini squash. Note the yard stick in the pictures shows how tall the plants are. Ya had to till the garden 4 or 5 times this year because of all the rain we got and put on a lot of horse manure to boot which seems to have helped a lot

Old, good buddy,, get you a better camera. They are very cheap now. Or learn how to focus, since you are a shooter, you know what I mean by "yanking the trigger. Digitals need time to focus.
Please, I mean this as a friend, Kenny

mine is so far behind, flooded out once nothing doing very good oh well there is always next year

Mike (WA) · Jun 19, 2011

Mine finally got dry enough to till last weekend, so just waiting for everything to come up now. Corn probably won't have time to "make", and tomatoes should be a bad as last year. My glass is generally half empty, by the way.

Saw a map of all the states, ranked for coldness of spring (1-117) and wetness of spring (1-117). Coldest and Wetest was Washington (2 and 117, I think), and Texas was the opposite (117 and 1).

Hey what can I say this $15 Wal mart cheapee is all I have and I even used a steady rest this time. Hey it was the wind and I'm going to stick with that story.

I tilled when it was not fit so most is a lump bed. Hard to get seeds started in that so it is not very good. Far as focus with camera, took a couple quick pics of grand daughter as she received her high school diploma and guess what, forgot to give it time to focus. Blurrrrrr.

Those low res cameras are good, don't show much detail if your selling.

Garden looks good.

I would keep it if it works for you and you can post. My phone takes real good pictures but I can't get the pictures out.

Started digging taters, wish I could send pics.

old · Jun 19, 2011

Ya I got the cam so I could post pictures. Most I have found either cost to much or you can not down load the picture to the computer so both are worthless in my case

old · Jun 19, 2011

Ya this cam is one of those small cigar looking cams and fits in your pocket. I try to hold as steady as I can and theta is why in the first picture you see wire of the cage I used as a steady rest. Picked 2 8 ball zucchini today one the size of a base ball and the other the size of a soft ball the bigger one hid from me LOL

My garden is doing fine if you like dust. But there is always next year. Maybe.

WAYNE-N-TX · Jun 19, 2011

My garden has bit the dust. So day before yesterday, I plowed up my pond and planted ten rows of different things. But if it don't rain just a little, they won't even come up.

Tried to get pictures on here, had my AC "G" & JD "LA" both down there working or should I say playing.

My garden is doing good this year. We had a lot of rain in my part of Calif. Nothing gets watered, all is dry farmed. Corn is 5 ft now. Water melons are starting to set on the vine. Already picking squash. Hope the moisture holds up. stan

We have been getting rain about every other day for the last couple weeks. Make it hard to get the hay done. Had one week that was dry and the equipment didn't want to work and now that I have the stuff fixed it is the weather

larry@stinescorner · Jun 19, 2011

we have been eating lettuce,the romaine did good in the raised beds here in nj

Matt from CT · Jun 19, 2011

I'm finally hitting my stride and couldn't be more pleased.

Reckon I'm on track for it to be a show garden next year

Not to say I haven't had some failures -- I planted some seeds in a few rows that haven't been developed quite as much as others (garden is on top of gravel fill so I keep shoveling in manure, leaves, and grass clippings). Had seedlings that did well there last year, but I guess it wasn't good for seed germination.

My biggest failure by far was corn...three varieties, big goose egg. Not a single seed germinated, I must've screwed up planting them I didn't tamp down afterwards...thought they be OK, apparently rotted in the ground. Plan to put some of the left over seed in damp paper towels and see if I get germination just to make sure it was my fault and not poorly stored seed.

SouthernFarmall · Jun 19, 2011

Mine is doing pretty good. I have 9 150' rows of yellow squash. They were planted 3 rows at a time, 3 weeks apart. Right now I am harvesting about 80 lbs. every other day off 6 rows. I have 6 rows of the same length of okra; they are only 10" high and growing. My corn was a failure, but tomatoes are doing good, surprisingly. I planted only 32 better boy tomatoes, and I had about 29 survive. I would have planted more, but tomatoes never do well for anyone down here in the sand. I planted 1/2 acre of Dixie Lee peas, and they are holding on (somewhat). I am irrigating everything but the peas, so that is why I am having decent luck.

It just got dry enough to work ground about 3 weeks ago. EVERYTHING is 6 weeks late- potatoes aren't even in the ground! I'm hoping to finish field corn this week between haying and plowing.

Briar Hill Brittanys · Jun 19, 2011

Wish we had some of your rain, Old. The storms have been about 60-70 miles north of us. In the last 3 weeks we've had about 1/2". The broccoli and cauliflower bolted early with the heat. First planting of corn and green beans was spotty, but they're coming along. The beans are making, should have first picking next week. This time last year, we'd canned and froze 58 quarts. Cukes and squash are behind, too. They're flowering, about 10 days till first harvest on them. Picked a quart of blackberries in the last 2 days. The canes were planted last year, they're coming on like gangbusters. Okra is about 10" high and coming on strong, too. Bannana peppers are putting on, the bells aren't doing as good, but OK. Tomatoes are blooming good. The potatoes bloomed, going to try to get some in a week or so. Those veggies are at our home garden. At our other land, we've hilled up 135' rows. Starting a market garden, set up the rows about 8' apart to help work with a tractor. First row is more blackberries, then okra, green beans, squash, and, pumpkins. We planted it kinda late because of the wet weather, it crusted pretty bad and our germination rate was poor. I've had to haul water over there, it's been so dry and the last few weeks. Going to fall crop more beans, turnips, broccoli, and cauliflower. Mark

GordoSD · Jun 19, 2011

Rich, We talked about this camera before. I asked you then to tell me the make and model so I could help you operate it. Now there are more peoplw who can't see what you have. C'mon buddy, get in the game, tell me what you have and I'll
fix it.
That said . a new modern smart phone would take the photos and you quickly, and wirelesly, send them to your own PC and then post them up.

The weather definitely delayed things, not so much the rain, the cold temps, all of April was kind of cold, we had a scant few nice days that I can recall, too cold to plant seed. I usually get all of my plants from a local farmer with greenhouses, and can plant here at home sometimes in april, usually May, this year, late May early June. Might just have a later harvest is all. Last spring and summer were complete opposite, I tilled on March 9th 2010. I've planted 2 gardens at the horse farm, previously unused areas with excellent soils from years old manure that never got hauled out. I did the patch adjacent to the house, but left a larger one down the hill fallow, just not enough time. I think all will be good, just keep some dried blood and bone meal applications going, plants will shoot right up. My small patch adjacent to the house is fenced off, mulched with rotting hay, water spigot right on the foundation and it gets sun all day, all year, I could tent it off and get the greenhouse effect going in the fall.

I can not tell you want I do not know. It is a cheap China made very small camera sold or was sold by Wal-Mart about 10 years ago. No name on it only made in China. I have tried a couple other cameras on this computer and none of them would work on this very old computer so it is this on or nothing. Wife has 2 and neither one will let us down load the pictures to this computer seems the system is to old
