Garden Photos, Everyone Post Some

[pretty40acres]

I didn't realize my other pics were so small til now so I will post them again here. :tools

updated pic of our main salad garden. We have from right to left.... peas, onions, radishes, turnips and beets, lettuce, zucchini and squash, onions, cucumbers. We also have tomatoes, sunflowers, korean radish, carrots, and spinach mixed in there too.

My onion tire.

We use to have strawberries in that tire. It worked pretty good to keep them from taking over our yard.

Here are pics of my son's garden. His veggies just started but they seem to be doing good! He started most of his seed indoors this late winter.

So great to have a son that takes such interest in growing things. Just FYI, the smaller pics were thumbnails. If you click on them, they get big, and the clarity is better than the large ones you posted. We don't mind clicking on them. ( like I'm an expert...I don't even know how to post a pic! I know there are plenty of instructions here, but I don't have a gismo that you connect to download, or whatever, from my phone, so no need to confuse myself at this point.)

So Lucky, I have a funny little story about the wire to connect phone to computer - I didn't think I had one . . . for years!

Then, I discovered that I could disconnect the charging wire, from the outlet plug. THAT wire was the one to the computer!!!

I still don't use it . . . You see, I had learned that I could send a picture message directly from my phone to Photobucket. It shows up in an album called "Mobile Uploads."

If you have a Photobucket account: go to your home page, allow the cursor to hover over your name. You will see "account settings." Click that then find "Mobile" in the bar near the top the page. You can just copy the address into your telephone contacts and you are ready to send pictures to Photobucket.

Photobucket has their "IMG code" you can copy to TEG. I imagine that it works the same way with other online galleries . Maybe Rob will have it here on TEG gallery one of these days !

I thought I'd have at least one ripe tomato by now. The cherry tomatoes have been on the vine for 3 weeks now, not turning red. Are tomatoes like pots? Does a watched tomato never ripen?

What kinds of Tomatoes you growing Mama Chicken?

Yep, gotta stop watching them to make them ripen! Kidding!!!

What kinds of Tomatoes you growing Mama Chicken?

Those particular ones in the picture are Small Red Cherries. I also have Large Red Cherries, Beefsteak, Aunt Ruby's German Green, and Romas out in the main garden, and a few Cherokee Purple seedlings started in the herb bed that I'll transplant out into the garden when they get a little bit bigger. All together I have about 75 plants now, I think. Once they start to produce well I'm going to make sauces, can a bunch, dehydrate some, and probably share tons with friends.

ETA-I'm thinking I'll make some green ketchup with the Aunt Ruby's

Mama, not sure where you are in relation to where we are, but watch your plants for tobacco hornworms. I've already found some on my plants, about 1" long. Young hornworms look exactly like HUGE hornworms -- 'horn' and all! They can be hard to spot, even when they're 5" long!

Andy by the way, get out and look for sunflower fields blooming in the area now!
This was taken on Mother's day...

And a hornworm video I made last summer...

Yes, I've been pulling them off of my tomatoes already too. I found one last weekend that was about 5 inches long and bigger around than my thumb! Hubby had to deal with that one, I was scared.
I have trained my oldest daughter to find them by looking under the plants for their droppings. She's great at finding them. I think her summer chores will include picking them off and feeding them to the ducklings.

show her the video I linked to in the above post.
