confused
long time without checking in on your garden bro.... lookin good I see
as for the leaves, many plants do this at night time... . I dont recall the specifics, but something to do with transpiration, no light, and possibly more turgor pressure from sucking up more water from the soil at night.....

Hey Mcp and the Veg posse. Here's a few piucs from the greenhouse.
Well I won't be starting a Jam factory very soon, but fek me these little beauties were SOOO Tasty!!
I took your advise guys and just planted some potatoes that had a few roots on them in my veg box. So I guess once the leaves are above ground I cover them with more dirt, and just repeat that process? Anyones advise appreciated....
These are the shop bought tomatoes that I really liked so dried out some seeds from them and planted. Looking good to go...
Pumpkin Flower
And another
This weird thing is growing on my leeks...I am guessing seeds
Komkommer's coming along (cucumber)
Seriously need to get these Napolitano Broccoli repotted...
Pumpkin patch with some Cauliflowers at the bottom left
Peas growing bloody everywhich way but loose..
Happy veggin people,

Potatos grow well in rubbermaid totes.
Fill with dirt about 6", plant potatos, then as the leaves pop up slowly cover with more dirt. Eventually the tote will be full with soil, and the leaves will all be coming out the top.
Just dump the tote over at harvest time, and sift out the potatos from the soil, and you dont have to dig anything up, or worry about losing potatos.

ill be here! the rules are some bullshit but thats a lot of monitoring they will have to do to ensure no body breaks one. plus i would say most the 600 crew is respectable and should have no problems from the mods.
edit- i forgot to compliment DST on his beautiful garden! things are looking even better over there for you! ill be surprised to see how much you get off those pumpkins in that small area. the strawberries look tastey as well!

Sorry for reposting yourpictures but wanted to compliment you on what you have done so far this year. The plants looks as healthy as can be! How old are your beans? I have beans that are at least a month old but only 6 or so inches tall. Will they take off soon or are mine just slow growers?

I was thinking the same thing LG, it's all getting a bit crowded in that corner. Luckily I got some shelfs and more space in the greenhouse as they grow....we shall see.
Thanks Desert, sounds like you have fairly normal growth. The first month or so not a lot was happening with my beans. Then after where you are just about now they just went bananas and are now up to 6 foot. So I think you'll see some mad growth coming up soon.
Peace and happy Friday folks.

heres some shots of my grandparents garden. though it basically nothing of what it truly is. this is the place i can owe my green thumb to. the strawberries are wild that grow in the forest of germany. they are some beasts bushes but the strawberries are small but way more taste than stores. they have some blackberries as well and some beautiful pea plants!

we have wild strawberries in oregon as well but they just flower and dont get fruit. theri si a variety that does this and people buy them just for the looks of them along paths and walk ways and are not grown for the fruits. i have a lipstick strawberry that i hate cuz it flowers pink flowers witch is cool but produces tiny berries if any. i need to do an update soon here

i posted this in my journal but i guess i can post it here is well since you guys have been seeing the progress of the cauliflowers and the neopolitano broccoli. Up-potted them into large 18-20l cointainers, few in each one. they are now outside next to the green cabbage, lol.
