Can't wait to eat, I never had the flowers but heard they taste good.
Soy beans and a green bean mixed in with the corn. Soy beans are a great companion for corn since they release nitrogen, which fertilize the corn. They also provide shade to keep the weeds out.
cucumber that I just transplanted from a pot. I just use cut up milk jugs to start my seeds and move into the ground when they get this big. Anything with a thicker stem can handle the move pretty easy however, the tomatoes and eggplant died since they have a really thin stem around this age.
I blocked this guy off but he still gets to my garden from time to time. Rambo knife comes in handy. LOL
Why am I showing you this? Well first off, it's a grape vine. I cut off around a 16" piece back in late March. Mixed some compost into the soil and stuffed it into the ground. This little guy had a leaf on it but the leaf fell off after a few days. I kept watering it and was about to give up on it since it's now May. I now should have some grapes, in about 3 years!!!
onions, now I can spread them out so they have room to grow.
Sugar baby watermelon started in a container on full moon back in February. Now starting to run!
Started in February, runts compared to my other one already producing.
Dwarft Red Delicious apples, said not to grow in southern ca because it doesn't get cold enough. Well I already had one apple a few months ago. We'll see how these turn out. These apples are nasty in the market, mushy with no taste. They do not store well compared to other varieties. All I have to say is these are wonderful fresh. Crisp with a delicious taste, hence the name. My baby is going to love fresh apple sauce!
Peach off in the right. My dog loves fruit and caught him taking some off. He knows better but too tempting.
Planted corn seeds on the first full moon in February. Soaked seeds for one day, then planted into the ground. I'm going to try to plant some in a month or two to try and have some fresh corn for Thanksgiving.
Zucchini squash is a summer variety. After about 8" long they start to loose flavor. This guy is fat, I plan on having him tonight, fried up cajan stlye. Hint to wifey, please make tonight.
Winter squash, started from seed April 4th. I have a row of spaghetti and butternut squash. Plant a few seeds a couple of inches away, some will sprout and others will not. When plants get about this big just move to the proper spacing of 18"-24".
Not shown is beets, two cucumbers, a row of butterleaf lettuce, and chards.
