Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
wow,
sounds almost exactly like my garden status for this year. poor cucs just
don't seem to want to come around. i did get one harvest, but nothing
since then. plants still only 1 1/2 feet tall. two years in a row
i've tried "pickling cucs" to no avail. they just won't grow above 6
inches and haven't produced at all. the perennial herbs are doing
wonderful as well as all of my flowering plants. tomatoes have lots and
lots of fruit, but only a few red ones so far. that's ok with us, 50% of
the reason we grow our own maters is to make "fried green tomatoes". we
love those. I'm not sure if our tomatoes will ripen in time for our
lettuce, our red sail has grown to 3 feet tall. yikes! oh well, have
had many many wonderful salads for the year. my peppers are really
starting to produce. have many green bells peppers and anaheims that are
w/i a week or two of being harvestable. has been an overall below average
gardening season for me in the seattle area. still learning how to adapt
to the local growing season. not giving up though. i still love going out
and bringing in whatever little treasures i can find. i have lots of
flowers on my zucchini plants, but no fruits yet. (i know, wait a
day...ha). i planted the round ones this year, so i'm eager to see how it
goes.
was
contemplating the fall garden for this year. i have been on crutches for a
while, so we'll see if i'm garden footed in time to plant.
