Anyone Have a Vegtable garden?
#71
My last post looked like we only had tomatoes and peppers, but in actuality we have so much more...our greatest variety to date.
3 Roma Tomatoes, 2 Health Kick Tomatoes
6 Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes, 6 Sweet Banana Peppers
9 Paprikas, 2 Hungarian Wax Peppers
9 Green Bells, 2 Jalepeno Peppers
6 Cubanelle Peppers, 2 Red Chili Peppers
3 rows (5’ wide) carrots, 2 Gypsy Peppers
1 Chive, 6 Hot Banana Peppers
DH LIKE TO MAKE SALSA - CAN YOU TELL? :)
1 Zucchini, 6 Egg Plants
3 Cucumbers, 2 Rows (16’ long) Spinach
Oregano, Blue Lake Green Beans
Parsnips, Sweet Onions
Sage, Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans
1 Row (16’ long) Lettuce, Italian Parsley
Black Raspberry
This is what we have in various containers or flowerbeds around the property.
10 Roma Tomatoes 10 Tri-color Baby Bells
3 Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes 10 Paprikas
20 Strawberries, 1 Blueberry
5 Elephant Garlic, 1 Sweet Banana Pepper
Red Raspberry
I have since given away about 10 tomato plants and 2 baby bells to friends and relatives since they were in small pots with no where else to put them. I'm glad someone could use them and they didn't die while waiting for a home.
HAPPY GARDENING EVERYONE!!!!!!

I'm also trying four eggplant seedlings... I'm not sure if the season will be long enough / hot enough to get anything off of these. But I'm thinking that if our local garden stores always sell eggplant seedlings, they must be appropriate for our area.
Anyone out there growing eggplants? That could tell me whether I can expect success or failure? (I'm in the colder part of zone 5, first frost comes mid-late September, first measurable snow historically is around October 12th. Oops, sorry, I probably should NOT have mentioned snow!!)

Yes, but can't tell you the exact size. Green Beans, Peas, Onions, Lettuce, Spinach, Beets, Radishes, Carrots, Zucchini and Yellow Squash, 27 Tomato Plants, Cucumbers, Rhubarb, Raspberries. I had to replant 6 Tomatoes, because they might have drowned. Iowa has had too much rain. Have to fence in the Peas, Spinach and Lettuce so that I can have some before the rabbits. I still need to get some Pumpkins planted. Didn't get my Broccoli or Cabbage in early enough. I have tried Egg Plant, Corn, Watermelon, Muskmelon, Green Peppers, Lima Beans in past years. I really hope the Tomatoes do well this year, as the last 3 years have been awful. I need to get some canned. I haven't canned Green Beans since my mom died 6 years ago, because she was the expert of her pressure canner. I can at least do Tomatoes in a water bath cooker. Also can't wait for the Zucchini Squash so that I can make a Chocolate Zucchini Cake! Yum!! I put Rhubarb in the freezer for when my SIL comes for a visit from AZ in July. She wants me to make my Grandmothers' Swedish Rhubarb Pie. Yum!!

I planted 3x as many beans this year and I'm looking forward to having enough to last all winter this time. Last year was our first for beans. the Burpee bush beans were bearing fruit for 2+ months continuously last summer.
