Mitt, that is a nice set up

My tomato and pepper plants aren't doing worth a damn this year.  :P

All my veggies are about 2 weeks behind from the rainy, cold weather.  No signs of tomato blight (knocking wood).

I always (knock on wood) have great tomatoes and peppers.  I attribute the pine trees behind the garden giving the soil the right ph - no proof that is correct though.

I don't have any land to plant on, but I've got a patio and trying out some container gardening.  Current inventory is cucumbers, scallions, early girl and cherry tomatoes, red peppers, basil, dill and oregano.  I have enough oregano to last 6 lifetimes.  Also trying some melons in a small strip of dirt by the patio. 

Next season I'm going to try larger containers to get larger fruit.  Right now everything is tiny.

Tomatoes, dry beans and peppers are doing pretty well here in the AZ highlands, though every day I've got my fingers crossed for our summer monsoon rains to really kick in. Two days of hard rain right before Independence Day, then nothing -- our main rainwater tank is almost empty AGAIN.

The squash plants had a profusion of blossoms about a week ago, but nothing much yet -- which means in a couple of weeks we're going to be up to our asses in summer squash. Sweet corn looks good so far, but it's mighty thirsty. Almonds would have been nice, but I don't think we're going to get any fruit to set this year, and the two year old peach tree looks well and thoroughly dead, killed by some early season blight.

The biggest disappointment this year are climbing beans -- we built a cool trellis out of old downhill skis, but it doesn't look nearly as good as I'd hoped without bean vines climbing all over it.

So here are a few pictures.  Some are kind of old.  We are starting to harvest a few things.

Before (About a month ago)


After (Yesterday)


A few strawberrys with some other stuff


This was taken about a month ago when the plant was about a month old. It's two feet taller now and we've had to thin it out a bunch so it's not quite as cool to look at.


Broccoli


I don't even like these


Hope everyone else is having luck.  [thumbsup]

Not here, worse than the last report.  :-[

I don't get it. The last two years have been crap. I'm about to say to hell with it, plant more grass (the kind you mow), and hit the farmers' markets instead.

Got some blight on my tomatoes  :(   Picked off all the bad leaves, but I think it will still spread.  Too wet and cool here this year for tomatoes.  We have not broke 90 yet in July - that is a record.  Our first tomatoes don't have the typical home grown tomato taste.  The peppers are doing well though.

My Peppers are doing good as well.

Tomatoes are still green.

I have some cauliflower that is starting to look good.

Eggplant are still small and my squash is not doing too good.

Peas are ripe been picking those. Blueberries too. Radishes are almost ready, beans hopefully soon. Peaches almost there, plums are delicious and plentiful  ;D

Thank you.  They're not mine.  My gf and I just help maintain them since it take a bit of work.

My beans are done, so is my lettuce and spinach. Broccoli turned out to be broccoli raab, didn't have much use for that. Cucumbers are just now coming in and I have a TON of tomatoes that need to ripen. Jalapenos are not doing much.
