Garden Update - Garden Harvest - 5/17/18
Hey Steemit Friends!
I went out to the garden this evening and ended up doing little harvesting.
I ended up taking a head of cabbage, some lettuce, a couple of broccoli heads and two very small yellow squash. The squash is small but was turning the darker yellow so it was time to cut it off the plant.
The cabbage is looking great.
I should be also getting some zucchini very soon.
My bush green beans are looking good. They are the lighter green plants on the left side of this pic and the upper right. On the lower right are some roma tomatoes that don't seem happy and really haven't looked all that happy the whole time. In this bed, #6, I didn't have the hoops for the agribon and when I first put these tomatoes in there were some cool nights where we got down to in the 40's.
Here's pics of roma tomatoes that I planted at the same time, given the same water and fertilizer but had the agribon on them when they first went in. The difference is remarkable. The moral is, don't be afraid to put some agribon on your tomatoes when first planting!
The Broccoli and potatoes are looking great. I'm probably going to finish harvesting the broccoli this weekend.
So, that's my quick update. I wasn't out in the garden long tonight, as it started to rain so I retreated. How's your garden looking? I'm excited for the tomatoes, squash/zucchini and cucumbers to come!
