My First Garden! (pics!!)

[rodriguezpoultry]

Hey all! Just wanted to give some pics of my garden! Please tell me if there is something I need to change!

Onions, beans and sweet peas (made the trellis myself):

Silver corn:

Jalepeno:

Mint (this thing was yellow when I got it!) :

My tomato plants that look more like bushes...any idea why they are so bushy?

Why aren't my tomatoes turning red?

Can't believe I forgot the "big" view, it shows the spinach and butter lettuce:

Very healthy plants in your garden Rod'. Your soil looks rich!
You just have to be patient on the ripe tomato thing, here's the link that DigitS posted showing the progression from set to ripe:

You don't have anything to worry about as far as I can tell.

Everything looks wonderful!! Good for you! The only suggestion I would make is to dig up that mint plant and get it into a container. You cannot imagine it right now- but trust me, it is plotting to take over the world!! You will get very tired of trying to keep that in check. The roots are runners, and they won't give up...Just plop it in a pot, and use your garden space for something else. Happy Gardening!!

Will any type of container work?

 

[RidgebackRanch]

Yes any container should be fine, you could also just put it someplace where it can grow by itself. By the way beautiful garden and great looking soil.

The garden looks great! Like lesa said, I would just watch out for that mint. (unless you REALLY REALLY like mint)

Very impressive!

That can't be your first garden, most of us old timers have a hard time making ours look anything like yours. Congrats! Everything looks great.
btw, give your maters time, they look great and will turn red in no time!

your garden looks great, wish mine was looking that good. Did you amend your soil, or does the soil in your area just look that rich?

Wow, very nice. I'm in Arizona so all my gardens are raised beds wrapped in birdnetting and chicken wire. I am always amazed to see a garden like yours that isn't an armed camp. Beautiful!!! Oh yea, the mint thing is so true, get it in a separate container before it's too late. Be sure when you dig it up you get ALL OF IT.

Great garden, thanks for sharing. I love pics of peoples gardens.
