Volunteer pumpkin patch from last year's pumpkins.
Five or six pumpkins coming on, these are the bluish on the outside Jarradale, I believe.
I cleaned up the strawberry patch in preparation for new
soaker hose drip irrigation and microbark installation.
I cannot seem to grow tomatoes. All of them look pathetic and just sit there.
The green leaves in the front are a new plant I planted to try to replace the sad
yellowing one with the fruit. Everything else is green and happy, not so
the tomatoes. The old leftovers at Lowe's and Home Depot are three feet
tall and putting on glorious fruit--and are growing in one gallon pots.
Mine are in expensive "Square Foot Garden" mix, and look strangled.
Maybe, you should try going with container gardening with your tomatoes?? I remember them doing well in containers. This from the person who tends to cause instant plant death with just a glance.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful pix! They make me want to run outside and sink my hands into the dirt. Is Jarradale an heirloom variety? Looking forward to pumpkin pie around . . . September? Listen for a knock at your door -- that'll be me!
ReplyDeleteKristine, I think that container gardening is a GREAT idea, especially with the gopher invasion!
ReplyDeletePam, Yes, I believe it is an heirloom variety, come on, I double-dog dare ya!
