How is your Garden doing so far this year ?

Mine got off to a slow start, but it seems to be doing alot better now than I expected.

I decided to follow a regular fertilizer schedule this year and I have been keeping up on pests.

I have tomato's and peppers hanging and the zuchinni is doing very good.  Pole Beans are off to a fast start.  Onions are holding their own.   Next years Rhubarb will be a record breaker I think.  The young Concord Grapes are winding their way along the support trellis.

I won't get much out of the Gooseberry plants because of a late frost hitting the blooms, but the Elderberrys are doing real well, even though they are about a month later than normal.  The fresh Cherry Tree is doing ok too.

Hopefully, there won't be drought problems.

Mine is doing very well this year.I only plant hot pepper (cowhorn and Cayenne) ,cucumbers,and tomatoes (better boy and Rutgers).No red tomatoes yet,but many,many green ones about the size of tennis balls.It looks as if I'm going to have a bumper crop of cucumbers at the same time.The pepper is hanging everywhere.I'm eating 10 or 15 pods a day.I love it.I have mine in above ground boxes made from cross ties.They seem to work very well..............Rick

Behind schedule here by about 2 to 3 weeks due to strange weather but playing catch up quite well.  Usually like to get the first ripe tomato by the 4th of July and that won't happen this year.  Potatoes looking better though than they have for many years.  Go figure!  Speaking of cherries.  Just picked 12 gallon on Thursday and have them all either in the freezer or in jelly as of today.  Strawberries did well also.  put up quite a few gallon of those also.  Have to pick peas about mid week and get them canned also.  The other stuff is coming but as I said about 2 to 3 weeks later than usual.

BTW, will be picking a bumper crop of black berries in about 10 or 12 more days.

My garden is looking fairly good considering the amount of rain we've had. It's a wonder it isn't completly washed away. Now if it will just quit for a while so I can take care of the weeds and do some mulching. Fruit trees and berries are looking good. Had a bumper crop of gooseberries & strawberries. Cherries are starting to turn. Had some early rhubarb but it doesen't look so good now. Too wet I guess. All in all I think we are going to fair better this year than last in my area. That goes for gardens and not the farming. It has been so wet that there are very few crops planted so far around here.

Mine is doing OK. I have a couple of peppers and tomatoes hanging. Still have not seen my carrots, kale, or cilantro. Weather has been weird this year, so I'm not really sure what else will come up.

This is my first year in "the great gardening adventure" and I'm learning a lot. First, the bad news..
 A late frost killed all my tomato plants (38),and all but 2 of my hot pepper plants. I was wanting to grow lots of tomatoes this year.
The deer are nibbling on my corn. I'm going to try using different smells to repel them.
And lastly, "something" has ripped up a few leaves on a couple of my cucumber plants.
Good news.
Raspberries, and blackberries are coming along ok and will be producing a little this year. I didn't let the strawberries produce much so that they would be able to grow ,and spread out more, which they are doing! Runners are going all over.
I need to make some poles for the green beans to climb on.
I'm also trying to grow some watermelon,  muskmelon,and rhubarb.
I also planted about 40 sunflowers (mammoth type).
I  am trying to grow some herbs too, dill ,cilantro, parsley, oregano and catnip. Not sure how they will turn out.
