Okra among other veggies. Let’s see how many others of you enjoy gardening.
And please, don’t go and get yourself in trouble with the authorities here. 😆

strawberries should be coming in a week or two. the blueberry high bush row should start producing in about a month, i think theres 7 varieties now. the rest is just normal stuff except for the hot peppers up here, ghost, scorpion, thai, and jalepinos. paste tomatoes, supersweet 100's, rosemary thyme oregano basil and a bed of chives, some russian garlic and horseradish coming up and a mint bed and a small cranberry bog. i still have yet to put the potatoes in my tire pile, that should have been in a month ago. im not sure if okra grows up here, we have the local fiddlehead instead to forage

Blueberries until Dads house and land sells. Pears at the rental house that is up for sale. Pomegranates possibly if they rebloom, a heavy rain storm knocked all of the blooms off.

at the house i also have apples, bing cherries, and japanese pears. firm believer in plant it once and forget about it til the food is ripe year after year.

Correction it’s too hot for cherries here, not cold enough. Of course we can grow figs.

its a hosui asian pear, i have a fig as well but keep it indoors. about 2 doz figs is a huge harvest here. recently lost a keifer tree, its too cold here indoors but great to have just for the leaves.....might put one at the camp where its less drafty. found an avocado in the compost pile a few years ago, getting big but doubt i ever get an avocado from it

Actually figs grow like weeds down here. Most people make preserves out of them with sugar and lemon, we even use the preserves to make a cake or with biscuits and cream. They are very productive in our climate if you can beat the birds to them. Unfortunately diabetes runs in the family and 2 figs is the allowed serving size.

Unfortunately, my New Guinea Impatiens, which were very pricey, are dying. Not sure what the issue is, but I understand they may like some sun, and I have them in complete shade. May also have planted them too close to one another and overwatered them at the outset. Pretty sure I’ll need to replace most of them.In happier news, my potted hibiscus, which I took outside a little bit too early, seems to be making a full recovery after spending a few weeks in critical condition following a cold snap.

picked up a hibiscus this year with 4 braided trunks for what seemed like really cheap money at the local supermarket. what temps was the cold snap to watch out for in the fall and spring. probably pot it this weekend depending on rain

All in all, we got grape tomatoes, squash, zucchini, okra, cucumbers, bell peppers (forget the colors, and they haven’t come in yet). Then our established trees/shrubs of peaches, pears, blueberries and blackberries. Those are the edible plants. We just let the deer have at the peaches and pears. Deer repellent spray for the veggies. Will have to share some pics tonight, bc who doesn’t like pics?Glad to see I’m not the only one who enjoys the gardening stuff. Trying to get a greener thumb each year. The variety y’all have shared sounds nice!

Hungarian and poblano peppers each pot with cilantro. Honeynut squash going in with green beans later this summer in the small planter I have. I haven’t grown anything before so this should be fun.

Yep. Does amazingly well with full sun and copious waterings throughout the summer. The flowers are gorgeous. -
Just some fun solar lighting for the kiddos, and then of course they’ve been working non stop keeping up with water duty. They don’t mind that job. Every decent farmer needs a fire hydrant water soaker.Baby peaches just when they were coming in:And the deer demolishing the peaches and pears:

This year we're doing 5 different tomato varieties, sweet mini peppers, jalapenos, poblanos, snap peas, lettuce, and a bunch of herbs. I have 2 habanero plants in individual pots that are doing well so far. Shorter growing season up here, so we won't have anything to show for it for awhile yet.
