How does your garden grow?

[Larro Darro]

First harvest of the year. {the green beans} As seen on What's for Supper?????



I bought a couple of grapevines and a blueberry bush today at Lowe's. Got them planted, but have about decided to move the grapevines to a different row. I would have to run three runs of cable instead of two. The young plants I'm going to put in the third {& possibly fourth} row will be so small I can worry about them next year.

I got home from work in time to transplant a row each of Cherry, Rutger and Roma tomatoes.



Saw blooms on Jalapeno peppers and Sugar snap peas.



The melons, gourds and the pole beans are starting to vine.

Wow, your corn is much bigger than mine, and my beans are much longer than yours. That is why my beans choked my corn. Did you plant at the same time?

Best way to get your garden to grow = Just be gone for more than a week

If I am home I tend to piddle in my garden daily, "helping" it along. Well, I was gone for a few days and I think it does better with me gone. Here are comparison shots, comparing April 20 and April 29





Got my first blooms on some tomatoes, bean blooms showing and little squash about the size of my pinkie.

I looked back to check the date, and I planted the pole beans and field corn together on 3-26-15. The beans have just started to vine in the last couple of days, so I'm guessing they will outgrow the corn now. And the field corn is a little taller than the sweet corn.

All your stuff is looking good. I have the same effect with my gourds. I don't get out that way very often, so the growth always surprises me.

Pee is chock full of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. It should really help the garden grow.... But I don't know about peeing in my garden.

But if you have a neighbor you don't like you could piddle on some veggies all spring and take them a pee-ce offering.

My use of the word piddle =

to spend time in a wasteful, trifling, or ineffective way; dawdle (often followed by around):

I too use the word piddle on a regular basis. I best make sure whomever doesn't apply Tom's meaning!! That could be a bad situation!! i.e. "I am going to hang out with the grandkids and just piddle". I might get family services called on me.
