After much hard work and trial and error, I have peppers. I actually picked one jalapeno this weekend! and I can pick the others soon! I think the pollinating I did actually worked because only those plants that I experimented on have peppers. The pepper plants in the containers definitely failed. They haven't grown for months. I'm going to make salsa with them!
I also got 3 more cucumbers! Hard to believe, I know. Growing them vertically really was a success!
The pumpkins are fantastic! I'm so excited! I thought there would be more, but 2 will do. I'm going to have to see if I can use a pinch off method next year, because they've taken over. I tried a little this year, but it didn't seem to stop the growing! Hardy buggers!
Lettuce in a container works awesome! It didn't work in doors at all, but outdoors, it grows like crazy.
My beans grew a LOT taller than I thought.... I've never grown pole beans, usually the bush variety. So I thought they would be a few feet-didn't end up that way. They are about 6 feet. Maybe I should have read the bag. But they have been a success; I got 1.5 lbs this weekend off the plants. And they were huge!
My tomatoes are doing excellent considering I started about a month and a half late. I have tons of green tomatoes. I don't know if any of them will turn red, but I have a good recipe for grilled green tomatoes if they don't. So I'm just happy they were so successful.
I grew a fall bunch of peas! And this is how they are doing:
I also planted 4 new blueberry plants for my parents. I love blueberries!
Mom has been working quite a bit lately and hasn't had time to go get her mums. So I bought mums for my mom! I tried to match the colors so it would look as cheerful as possible for her when she came home!
I still don't have a spot for my garlic-I just have to talk to dad about a good-out-of-the-way spot. They should be mailed out soon, so I should probably get that ready....
Cheers! :)
