Red white and Blue - maybe old Ben was right.

Bump.

Decided not to do veggies this year. Sticking with shrubs and flowers. Raked up several large lawn bags of debris yesterday and placed in 14 bags of black mulch. Replanted a lime tree/bush that we already had, placed in 2 small lantanas, a butterfly bush, 3 yellow shrubs (I think they are called abelias) and replanted some gerber daisies we already had. Also on the other side of the large hedge is a pink azalea bush that’s currently blooming.

Doused everything down in deer deterrent. Hoping to get the flowers to take off and not get eaten this year!

@Dyal_SC. Looks great and certainly a productive day 👍

looks alive to me

starting the fall stouts and darks?

Gulfcoastguy · June 2025

Just some peppers, roses, and a volunteer tomato that showed up. A Cubanelle is right by the mouse right now. No idea what I am going to do with the Ghost peppers. I have two recipes for sauce, one calls for 2 ghost peppers and the other for 4 habaneros. Maybe use one Ghost for 4 habaneros?

Second attempt at compost tea, first attempt last year was not productive at 48 hours. This was at 2.5 days, much better. Learned to go by bubbles visual, not by time

The only alcohol I brew is sushi rice wine. (@BeanHead I didn't forget you, need to get my scribbles organised).

Thanks. I am low on weird hobbies 😆

Bump. Made that viral tiered 8 bucket contraption. Using an old 10x10 dog kennel to enclose the garden this year … but to keep the dog and other critters out! It’s a work in progress.

Canugghead · March 27

Looks nice @Dyal_SC I'm not familiar with this viral version but... few years ago I built a bunch of them with reservoir under a false bottom, and a self wicking sand bag that dips into the reservoir. The results were mixed, I got rid of them after two or three summers 😔
Looking forward to see how it turns out for you.

Gulfcoastguy · March 27

Well I have Rosita eggplants, Red Marconi sweet peppers, Carrot hot peppers, and Aji Amarillo hot peppers ready to transplant in the next 2 weeks. Going to see if the niece or sisters want any of the spares. I was going to give some to dad but he is hooked to oxygen full time starting a couple of weeks after I started them.

Pomegranate tree is covered with blooms and buds. Fingers crossed.🤞

Gonna need a few more weeks. It's been a brutal spring, those humps are 24" planters

The different winters experienced by the western US vs the eastern US, this year, is amazing. I need to mow for the second time tomorrow, and I live in northern UT.

Made some tater towers. One with Yukon golds and the other with harvest blend.

They are layered in like a lasagna. Hoping to see some vines growing out the sides in a few weeks.

Peach yield was heavy this year.

Dyal_SC · July 12

The bucket contraption did good this year. Had more cukes, japs and cherry tomatoes than anything else. Also have added in some Thai peppers. Been contemplating trying pumpkins next, but afraid I waited too late.

There’s a few types of pumpkin/winter squash that I could still plant around here but you are probably to far north up there . They take up a lot of space though.
I have Aji Amarillo hot pepper, Carrot hot pepper, and Rosita eggplant planted this year. Should start harvesting this week.
I have planted Thai peppers before. One or two Thai peppers in each quart of dill pickles plus a clove of garlic and you have spicey kosher dills.

Haven’t grown any, but we’ve been buying Thai chiles as of late and have really enjoyed them in our meals. A little goes a long way!

Probably the worst growing season I’ve ever had. June was cold and rainy, July is scorching hot. Charlie Brown could grow a better garden

Just some Peppers

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. 😆

I am growing some heirloom varieties of tomatoes, basil and cucumbers. Comparis, Belgium purples, Brandywines, and others.

fishlessman · July 19

Some of the bushes starting to ripen. Some Maine varieties,some Jersey. First pic is the Maine black blueberry, that’s the one for pancakes. Sweetest full blueberry flavor

Gulfcoastguy · July 19

We are past blueberry season and into fig season down here.

What are you growing… now?
