Default How's everyone's garden looking?

Mines coming along pretty good. I thought I was going to lose my zucchini last week in the monsoon but they seem to be surviving. Picked one zucchini and a few green tomatoes. Got some bell peppers and egg plants sprouting. Won't be long will be doing some serious pickin.

Mid march

2 yrs in a row now, we've planted eggplant. We have gotten 1 darn fruit from them. What's the trick?!

I'm not sure. Last year I planted the long green and grew a bunch. This year I planted the black beauty's. I'm hoping they do good. Have several blooms right now. Last year I cut my garden down but I left all my plants lay in the garden and left all the old fruits stay and rot in there. Plowed that up and before I played I tilled in a sack of lime. Once a week I feed with miracle grow.

Planted late, way behind the power curve... The hailstorm last Friday didn't help matters either ...

All peppers and okra, not messing with tomatoes this year... Wal-Mart birds win ...

looks great TD. Planted mine the week after easter. Tried mostly seeds this time. Seems everything is growing real slow. Anyone know where I can find some white squash seeds? Mine must be bad. Already planted them twice and nothing.

I planted around the 2o of march. Had a frost right after that killed my first cucumbers but everything else survived. Replanted my cucumbers a week later and they are growing good now. I have a feeling I'm about to be up to my ears in tomatoes. Gonna be givin a lot away and canning a bunch.

Have 5 tomato plants about the same sizes shown in the pics. Done picked 5 already. Planted 1st wek of March. Also have a variety of pepper plants. They're doing ok also along with the herbs.
Have cucumber plants climbing all over and they have blooms but not producing fruit. Any suggestions?

Might still be early. Once they start growing you won't be able to pick em fast enough
