How does your garden grow?

[CalG]

Working through about 100 pounds of PEACHES off just one tree! (Two late season trees yet to ripen and pick)

Peaches in the morning, peaches in the evening, grilled peaches at supper time.

Peaches filling the fridge, frozen peach slices bagged in the freezer. Peaches peaches everywhere.

yummm I like peaches! Fresh tree ripened, that slip the skins just holding a paring knife close.

Lucky me....lucky me...

I don't know what we will do when the other two early trees start producing like this one...

I'm just glad the friends and neighbors don't lock their car doors! ;-)

I'm getting ready to put in a winter crop.. The wife started Brussel sprouts from seeds, along w. Cabbage & Cauliflower..
I covered the garden in black plastic after tilling from the summer crop..
The BLACK plastic collects the suns heat & burns anything under it.. so its ready..
I'm just waiting until we get some nite-time temps above the 30's to putt'm in the ground..
The "seedlings" are all about 6"..

Your garden looks amazing

After last years TOTAL DISASTER, it's kind of hard to think about starting anew. After all, considering that universal definition of insanity.

I will have to say Industrial that your crop this year is very poor . . .

I don't bother in the winter. Supposedly, you can grow lots of stuff through the winter here in central Va. I told one of our master gardener interns that I cannot garden naked in the winter; so, it's no fun. She says you can. I said, "not comfortably".

I've some mustard to cut again out in the little garden. Did one cutting on it way back. Grows very slowly.

And you will be worse off than Industrial Toy's carrots.

I checked a "Zone Chart" and recommended planting dates,, I came up with Zone 7A,, IIRC,,
For that zone,, I should already be direct seeding several cold weather crops,,

When to Plant Vegetables in Salem, Virginia - Garden.org

Type in your zipcode,, and you get a kinda complete list of planting dates,, for both early, and late gardens,,

HECK, some of my fall garden stuff needs to be started in 2-3 months,,
WOW,, where did 2020 go?? :laughing:

I have a neighbor who always has the earliest garden,,,
His "trick"?
He puts the plants he wants to start REAL early in pots, those pots get placed in a wheelbarrow,,

Each warmish day, he rolls the wheelbarrow out into the driveway to get natural sunlight,
he says he never needs a grow light,, the sun does a perfect job.

I have a few seeds planted, in a little yard cart,, with two CFL bulbs for heat,,
the dirt cups are covered in plastic, and covered with an old moving pad,,

The soil is warm, and wet,, hopefully, something will happen,,,,

We planted from seeds in starter pots & transplanted to garden when we had afew warm days..
We went out to the garden yesterday, 54* & added "garden soil" to the base of the plants..
We NOW have Broccoli sprouts coming out..
We STILL have to cover the plants every now & then, just for piece of mind.. but I think they would do fine if we didnt..
The SC weather is wacky..!! 5 days in the 60's & 70's lows in the 60's & 40's..
THEN 2 days straight of hi's in the 40's & lows in the 20's..!! THEN back to the 60's & 70's..

Our Kale wintered over despite a snow cover for several days. Wife picked some a couple days ago and said it tastes a lot better than the summer harvest. Not as nearly as bitter. I'll have to trust her... I don't like kale!

I eat it for my wife :laughing: . . . don't really like it.

With Kale, I cut out the stem, then chop up the leaves and put it in soups and stews.

Same with my wife... I still don't like it. She tries to slip it in various dishes. Now spinach is a different story.
