Question

Hello gardeners! I know most of you are getting your gardens going. I just shut mine down, after a VERY successful winter growing season in the desert. This year I tried something new, Japanese Eggplant, and it was wildly successful, getting about 40 eggplants from just one plant in a 24” pot! It was so easy to grow, just plenty of sun and water. The flowers are lovely and a joy to watch turn into edibles. My tomato plants were the largest I’ve ever achieved here and so fruitful, I was giving tomatoes away all season. I had a really large crop of beets and of course, plenty of leafy green. Everyone in the neighborhood agreed that the Burpee “Buttercrunch” was the best of the lettuces. I hope you all have as successful a growing season as I! I didn’t take any photos this year.

Answer 1

I have the beginnings of beans, my tomatoes have set fruit, I've been getting squash for a little over a week, but my other plants are still reeling from our strange weather this year. The freeze in Feb. nearly wiped out my loquat and fig trees, and killed all my pomegranate trees.

Answer 2

I have basil in pots on my deck. Last year it was in the raised bed in the yard and the bunnies got most of it. Not this year! I have my tomatoes in the raised beds. I have a few other herbs on the deck as well.

Answer 3

I've got corn and peas sprouting , my chives were looking great , until the cat decided to roll around on them . Guess he prefers that onion scent to the mint he was previously rolling in . The aspargus I planted last year , didn't seem to winter well , so I stuck some more in . My Tennessee Ostrich ferns have definately made a surprising come back after our late season freeze as have the Mexican Petunias and the Eyes-so-blue .

Answer 4

Good for you. Haven't seen you on here in awhile but haven't been on much myself. Enjoy.
