2013 Spring garden

Re: 2013 Spring garden
Added 3 heriloom "Mr. Stripey" tomatoes to the ground, 9 hot banana peppers, 3 water melon, 9 crookneck squash, 5 pickling cucumbers, purple basil, mint, oregano, cilantro, and the fence row in planted halfway in purple "green" beans and the other half in snap peas. Gotta finish the drip irrigation lines up yet. I'm going to add another 6-8 buckets to my hydro system since it's kicking so much azz.

Broccoli coming to heads
Cauliflower getting close!

Re: 2013 Spring garden
Iluv2hunt,
You are making me break the 10th commandment with those pictures! Last week I was able to break my garden spot without boggin' the tractor down. It is dry enough to work now. We did put a few plants in the raised beds even though it was 39 degrees Friday morning. My oldest daughter and grandsons are coming for a few days and hope to plant while they are here, then we will send them weekly progress pictures. Straightneck squash, green beans and some Silver Queen will probably be our first planting. Zipper- creams, okra, cucumbers and a big patch of sweet corn will come a little later.

Nice work. Picking days are some of the best!

Re: 2013 Spring garden
Not sure which I like more. Broccoli or cauliflower...
Just made a couple new earth boxes yesterday and replanted some of the ones I had going last year. I put in some cukes this year so I can make some bread and butter pickles. Can't wait!

Re: 2013 Spring garden
Looks great guys! My wife pulled the first round of Broccoli today from the garden. Fresh Broccoli is the best. We have been freezing bags and bags of mulberries too. Plenty for Mulberry wine this year. Blackberries are starting up here soon too.

Re: 2013 Spring garden
I am hoping to time a visit to my lease just right in a couple weeks for black berries. They were blooming like crazy 3 weeks ago. May be early yet. I can't remember when I picked them a few years ago

Re: 2013 Spring garden
I checked my tomato plants last night and noticed that the leaves are getting covered with powdery mildew.
I've read that baking soda and water with a tablespoon of dish soap will get rid of it. I've also read that neem oil will get rid of it.
Which works faster?
Also, the leaves on my cucumber plants are turning yellow and brown. Looks like it's struggling. What did I do wrong? I have it in an earthbox and it gets full sun each day. It's running up a trellis so I can't move it now. Need some advice.
