thank you fumble! glad i'm not the only one that likes the water drops. my grandiflora gets friggin puddles in it, and i love it:

yup, the flowers and herbs are doing great in the container garden. the main garden is struggling though.

your rose puts mine to shame
but its ok, im a newb rose grower

well, grandifloras DO get bigger than hybrid teas..... (that's why i like them)

How you doing McPurp? Your sunflowers have me planning a spot next year for them. So gorgeous!

Awesome flowers Mellokitty, That inspires me to take some shots today. I will be back (probably before any of you are up out of bed anyway....) DST

they are doing great for now, my tallest one is 10 ft 1 inch so met my mark but i really would have liked 15 ft or taller, but again i got sent the wrong seeds to. the spot they are in only gets about 8 hours of direct sunlight and 2 of scattered sunlight so im sure more sun and they would have been bigger, i need to tie them up soon as the heads are getting heavier and i have had a smaller one touch ground the other day so i tied it up and cut a few flowers off, im now just trying to make it to where i can harvest the seeds to re grow and sell next year. i figure im going to get at least 1000 seeds of each type and 15 seeds a pack for a dollar = free cash to me not alot but more then none

Pics from the garden.


oregano in case you wondered.

salvia's









Peace DST

nice pics D, your garden looks to be doing great. them maters look dam near perfect to man i bet they taste great. what type of cucumber is that in the pic? looks like a normal cuc just without the warts and spikes.
looks like your avacdo collection keeps growing as well, i will get one one of these days when i have time to, ever time i go shopping i forget what i really want to get and it ends up having to wait till te next month

cheers lad, the warts and spikes will come on the cuc, the other ones have had them that we have had so far. It's actually the wifes avacado experiement, and she finally decided to stop germinating them since they all started to po. We have 10 plus the bigger tree we got. ONly need to wait a decade or so now for some fruit.
I had a tom today on my sandwich and it was very tasty. They have all produced really well so far so looking forward to getting a nice big yield from them.
I like you idea about your seeds.

dsty you have gardens to aspire for.

the gorgeous purple thing after the cuke.... is it a campanula of some sort? (i started some seeds this spring but they didn't even germ.... )

I believe it could be, we were gifted it by relatives and it sits lovely on our outside table. We had a few things not germ on us this year, they probably still think it's winter!

i hear that, i think my calla lily is going into hybernation mode already....

Hey veggies
Iv harvested maybe 6 cucumbers so far, they are tasty.
These arnt ready yet.


Also, for the past 4 days Iv been eating a dozen or so cherry tomatoes a day yummms.



Snagged a few "regular" tomatoes from this plant. They are also tasty


Orang bell peppers coming around, about 6 on this one plant.


Sunflowers and watermelon, also cantaloupe on the left,,, nothing showing on the cantaloupe. The watermelon is about the size of a softball.
Sunflowers have been budding for maybe a week now.




Apricot tree didn't bear any fruit this year they were plentiful and delicious last year.

Time to post something weed related haha.

Oh, heres some of the best hotdogs Iv ever had.
Put fresh stuff from the garden on,
Basil
dill
cucumber
tomato.
Also added some green chili, hot SOUSE, mustard, tiny bit of mayo, and a couple shakes of tony chachere's...
Oh yeah the hot dogs had melty cheese inside of them haha
And to top it all off,, a beer you found in the back of the fridge when you thought you didn't have any left

wow, not as sloppy as it looks

looking good who dat, i pick my cucs when they are about the size of the ones in your pick, i tend to like most veggies and fruit on the younger side as i think it has more flavor and better texture. your garden is looking great, my water melons are just about the same size as yours. what type you growing? i have black diamond watermelon.
i also noticed i will be having tomatoes of my own to harvest very soon, and my cantaloupe has baby fruit on it now

I checked today to be 100%, they are called Grote Campanula, which simply means Big Campanula, there was no more specific information....

thank you so much!! i asked because it looked an awful lot like the pic on the seed package of mine that didn't germ.... (mine were/would have been "campanula isabella")

I love this thread! Wicked gardens all of you, still getting some tomatos off the ground as i have nothing much to add to this thread but follow it all the time, really impresses me. Hopefully you grow all winter too, its like my daily fix watching your gardens grow. Peace

glad you like it.

i just looked at my toms today and they are finally getting red, should have a bunch of toms from here until 1st frost, i also have jalapenos that will be in abundance for awhile. i am planning on making some home made popper with them. i was thinking pepper jack cheese and on some others Monterrey jack and in both type their will be some time of meat. im having a hard time choosing between bacon, chicken, and beef.

also king, i just might be able to pull off a indoor grow this winter, not positive but it is looking hopefull. and if not then i will most likely do some flower starts in the closet as well as cloning all my house plants many times so come spring time i can sell them.

Thanks dude, i'm working on one or two things but its early days, i always grown jalapenos but the plant i got now is on its way out and still the replacemnts and the toms are only just seedlings. Early signs point to the fact that i can grow weed a lot better than i can grow veg!lol! Anyway in time i will have a few plants but just love watching your gardens grow, seriously good work dudes and dudettes!lol! Some very good technical stuff with amazing results. Our season has more or less ended in my opinion, rain and bad wether almost everyday for a while recently where i am so outdoor is quickly going out of fashion for this year now.

Anyway take it easy. Peace

you can cum do my garden would love them plants growing in there excellent man...

just picked up a arabica coffee plant, it is about 2 inches tall.
