Garden Update




With the torrential downpours of May over, we have finalized our garden layout and have a current count of what made it. The majority survived, which I was very happy about. I also realize my pictures are not as good as they could be, but I have been taking them with my phone...as I can't find the batteries for my camera. Soon, though...soon. Heh.

So,  in the main garden we have:
15 green bean plants, 2 bell pepper plants, 4 habenero pepper plants (but I think 2 may not make it, it could go either way), 2 ghost pepper plants, 14 tomato plants (very healthy ones too), 8 jalapeno plants, 24 Brussels sprouts, 8 cabbage, 4 lettuce, 2 zucchini and 2 cucumber.

Randomly around the yard we have:
2 strawberry plants, and the sunflower plants (which seem to live through anything), Cilantro, Basil...and some other random things.

So here's some pictures to show off...

The tomato's...

Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumber and zucchini... 

The sunflowers...

Strawberries...

Cilantro and basil.

Garden Watch 2017....update.




Well...it took forever...but the garden is just about ready. We used mulch from a friend who simply shredded a tree for us.....and applied it lightly only around the plants themselves. 

Here is a head count as of now, after a bit of flooding did some damage. Some may or may not make it...we'll have to do another head count in a week or so to be sure. 

----
14 tomato plants (2 varieties)
2 ghost peppers
2 habenero 
2 more habenero that may not make it
2 green pepper
10 (or so) green bean plants
8 jalapeno ?
6 cabbage (I think)
4 lettuce
24 Brussels sprouts 

...and still to plant are the strawberries, zucchini and cucumbers.

What we lost for sure, the radishes. This was mostly my fault for not planting in time. :(
