Deeply Rooted
a week makes! We were on vacation for a week and boy is there is difference in my garden. My garlic is much bigger, my broccoli is really tall and flowered... how do I harvest seed from it if I choose to? My corn has grown, my beans are up, the carrots and onion are doing well, the peas are climbing, and my tomatoes have flowered.
The only things not doing well are my zuchini, beets, and potatoes. The zuchini and beets were purchased plants and were in those pots you just put directly in the ground to save on waste. Well, they may save on waste, but they don't work well. Neither plant has grown much at all, I think because it's too hard for them to develop their roots outside that darn pot. I won't be doing that again.
The potatoes aren't doing a thing yet. Very disappointing. I was really hoping for some nice potatoes. I'm sure I did something wrong in planting them or something. This was my first try at it in 5gal buckets. I still have hope they will start to sprout, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
