Chives And set up one counter with the light and tray. In 2 weeks we should see some growth! Here’s the “before we attack the garden” pictures, it’s a wreck!
I planted 2 kids of pumpkins, both Burpee, one is a “Prizewinner Hybrid” and the other 2 plants are supposed to be “Jack O Lantern”. There’s 2 plants, both supposed to be Jack O Lantern, planted inches from each other (both were coming in so well I couldn’t bear to pull one :lol) One is coming in like what I think a normal pumpkin should: green and round:
(The Mystery Plant)
What is this thing? This is the “Prizewinner” for clarification, it came in green like the first picture:
I couldn’t stand it any longer, I had to pick the 3 big zucchini :lol Going to make some zucchini bread and maybe a treat for the kids and shred and freeze the rest.
Mmmm crookneck!
How do you shorten zucchini properly? Zuck? (that sounds like duck) Zook? Maybe, looks alien though. I’ll stick with zucc until I get a professional opinion. Anywho, I bring you: one tiny green pepper:
He needs eyes I think. 2 of the zucchinis are the size of a mini baseball bat I have, but thicker. They’re going to be full baseball bat size here soon…
Notice: The weeds are taking over. Ignore them and don’t think too badly of me I’ve noticed a lot of bee life in the garden, and managed to get a couple photos of them helping me out…
And my lemon cucumbers:
The squash are doing excellent. The growth each day is amazing! “Prizewinner” pumpkin:
Zucchini:
Crookneck:
The corn (and my 2 year old carting a dragon around), which is almost as tall as I am:
I’m gonna kick myself for using “that word” when the google ads turn nasty, but I couldn’t pass it up :lol
I cannot wait for fresh corn on the cob! Corn sugar starts turning to starch as soon as it’s picked so the fresher the corn is, the sweeter. I look forward to picking the ears and immediately throwing them on the grill or in water….YUM!
