I do not have very much space and this year I managed to squeeze in over 100 tomato plants of several different types.
The sad part is, I may be moving in the next month or two and I may not reap all the rewards. We will be moving into a bigger house so the project in the years to come will to find the space and build gardens again. Hopefully the work I will be doing to fix this place up and sell will give me the chance to see the growing season through.
Wow mac, this reminds me of my moms gardens growing up in Chicago.Not much room, but enough to have a bit of everything in there, and room for flowers to boot!!!!! BTW.........LOVE the greenhouse.......did you make it???
ReplyDeleteI built that about 5 years ago Sue. I finally found a place online over the winter to buy actual green house plastic so I fixed it up and painted it green for this year.It's not much but suits its purpose. Right now I have about 20 potted pepper plants in it.
ReplyDeleteSo did you have plans for it or was it something you just whipped together????
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted a greenhouse but just never considered myself mechanically inclined enough to attempt one,lol. Looks like everything is growing well for you Mac....I tilled up a new area for a garden last fall but have had so much rain this year I only got half of it planted....hmmm wonder if I can still plant more corn?....
ReplyDeleteLol, I'll just say I'm a whippersnapper.
ReplyDeleteCorn grows fast Vic. We usually did a second planting after our first was picked. The first picking always ended about mid July. The 2nd crop would be ready around mid september.
ReplyDeleteHHHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmm I showed it to Mike and he even liked it.....said he didn't thin it looked "too hard" (= major project) LOL
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm jealous. It's prettier than mine.
ReplyDeleteWow! you're gonna have maters coming out of your ears!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour beans are wayyy ahead of mine. I had to replant four times because of so much rain.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks really good, Mac. I hope you get to harvest it.
ReplyDelete*Chuckles at the image of Mac with maters coming out of his ears*...
ReplyDeleteI have some wonderful recipes for tomatoes...these look so perfectly poised.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this flower?
ReplyDeleteHow pretty. Better than mine too...wait..I dont have one lol!
ReplyDeleteBrings to mind an old saying, 'People in plastic houses shouldn't throw sharp objects...or something like that...
ReplyDeleteI do believe thats a corn flower Zee
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the kind of fencing we made cages for our beefsteak tomatoes...We also put a couple smelts in the hole first and then the plant..Boy they loved the fish fertilizer...lol We also didn't pinch off any suckers/side shoots we just let them grow wild. Man tomatoes coming out our ears.
ReplyDeleteI luv your garden Mac.
Why do you have stuff in pots?
ReplyDeleteAwesome Mac...So when are ya makin salad?
ReplyDeleteDid somebody say pot?????
ReplyDeleteOMG Suzi is going to smoke off Mac's garden...worries.
ReplyDeleteHehehe...
ReplyDeleteIm bettin mac planted in pots cause hes planning to take them with him when he moves.
ReplyDeleteMisty, I hope you and Suzi don't smoke my tomato plants. Those tomato cages are made with 6"x6" wire mesh that we use for concrete slabs for reinforcement. Vero already answered the question as to why I used the pots. I only remove the suckers from my staked tomato plants. I get earlier and bigger tomatoes for doing it. Not as many though.
ReplyDeleteThis looks almost like a pond lily. Mac...how big is the flower?
ReplyDeleteYall' I'm pretty positive this is a coneflower (echinacea) just coming into bloom. It could be either white or purple, cause the purple ones sometimes look white til they are fully out.
ReplyDeletepot??pot?? where ?? rflmfaooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeletei am not here you cant see me sneaking of with your maters melons and carrots yum
ReplyDeleteNice garden Mac! I only have 3 tomatoe plants, some pumpkins and several cucumbers that made it....our drought is the worse one in 60 years but we did get rain last night.
