doesn’t look like much but i planted carrots, radishes, lettuce, arugula, chard, and spinach and mulched around the containers so i can grow flowers etc this time

tomorrow im going to mulch the area for raised beds 3 and 4 and start some plants inside. also get rid of those dead leaves and put a little compost down.

everything is ready for the new beds. also i planted potatoes beets and strawberries the other day

new beds are in, adding flower/herb beds around all of them now. starting the tomatoes, peppers, edamame, broccoli, and cucumbers but i might have killed them all by overwatering idk

tiny seedlings are coming up, mostly radishes

last of last year’s carrots

asparagus and brussell sprouts, new seedlings, radish micro-greens

newly emerged: potato, soybean and snap pea, beets

seedling situation quickly spiraling out of control

finished the flower beds and im going to try to do a three sisters mound here though im convinced the corn will not grow

potatoes are huge/transplanting volunteer tomatoes/picked some radishes and arugula

quick pickle

CORN

more pickled radishes. this time i burned my hand sterilizing the jar so i hope i did this right!

meanwhile the radishes are growing much slower in the new soil. thinned just now and got some cute ones

peppers and eggplant, more volunteer tomatoes

people are saying the hottest thing in gardening this year is the cucumber trellis. influencers are posting jaw-dropping sea-blue trellises ripped from the pages of gardeners supply to their socials. teens are going wild with “trellis envy”

potato flower :)

NEWRADISHCROP

garden status

built two new raised beds in my aunt’s community garden plot. I love building raised beds and i wont apologize for it

built a new compost unit

okra seedlings

first carrots of the season

some spinach too

chard

daily thinning :)

lettuce season is here

I know people who have 10 spider plants and that cabbage succulent are always like “im obsessed with my plants haha” but im actually obsessed with these plants

in the spring i convince myself that i have fucked up and they will never flower. then in a week they become huge and perfect. look at thid nastursium this was a seed

I like to let a few plants of eacht type bolt just to see what they turn into. here’s the arugula now

last radishes until fall

i love garden

lettuce and spinach season is over long live chard season

black beans are growing faster than corn so they get poles

cucumber vines finally covering their trellis

baby squash baby cuke baby eggplant

lmao

tomatoes and peppers the deluge is upon us

we’re going to be rich

beets

wow

these are so sweet

the corn is now waist height do we dare hope

look how pretty the black bean flowers are

very proud of these sad little marigolds

trying to figure out what causes them to curl like this. maybe inconsistent watering

in the last 3 days :)

finally

tassel

harvesting potatoes :)

and others

we have our first jalapenos

review of my own pickled radishes from may: these taste too much like vinegar and they’re not crunchy. amateur work. do better

apparently you need tannins to keep your pickles crisp so i put some tea leaves in here

some more potatoes

zinnias

look at these beauties

first okra

when god accidentally shatters a pickling jar he makes a vase

would be a real shame if i had to throw two of these away because i shattered the jar i was pickling them in :)

last batch of potatoes for now. so colorful

check out the eggplants too

roots

corn is taller than me now

two jars hot packed and two jars fermenting. dont ask about the ones i tried to ferment earlier

some more quick pickles too

Carrot King

back in the garden after a few days :)

this is my first ever strawberry lol

yummi

sea isle beans from my garden and mini squash from my aunts’

havent been showing all my pickles on here but i feel pretty good about this batch

still cant believe how nice these turned out

watermelon

moonflower bud

pumpkin alert

the cucumbers and about half the tomato plants have given up the ghost but the eggplant and okra are in their prime and shell beans are now producing

the weirdest thing is that the strawberries are finally here like 6 months late??
