2017 Garden Thread

[GreenHeadRocker]

Turbo is slacking so I figured I'd start it off. Small garden this year for me. 19 cucumber plants(pickling, slicing, and burpless), half a row of red taters, 6 jalapeno plants, 6 better boy mater plants, 12 straight neck squash and 4 zucchini squash. Put baskets on the cucumbers yesterday. Maters are blooming and the rain has been plentiful. Will post pictures later this evening if the rain holds off. What's everybody else got this year?

[Gut_Pile]

Have a small raised bed at the house that is doing great so far

1 better boy tomato, 1 big boy tomato, 3 okra, 1 bell pepper, 1 straight neck squash, and 1 cucumber.

You slackin', fool.

I need to snap pictures, for sure.

I've got 22 tomato plants, a pile of okrees, maybe 8 squash/zucchini each, three half rows of corn (no idea how many... probably 75' total, maybe), some cantaloupe, watermelon, eggplant, and ton of peppers.

Corn's popping nicely. Squash and zucchini about the same. Tomatoes look good. I always wait a little late for the carrots, but I'm giving them another try.

What else you fools got going on?

All split between two gardens, one at house, one at farm:

40 tomato plants (Cherokee Purple, Big Boy, Better Boy, 4th of July, SunSugar, Sungold)

40 pepper plants (bell, jalapeno, poblano, banana, habanero, ghost, and a few others)

Two rows of summer squash (crookneck and zucchini)

About 20 cucumbers

Lots of bush snap beans

Some bush lima beans

A few cantaloupes (need to find room for some more melons)

More of a yellow but it's better than no thumb.

I wish I had some sunsugars.

[Relentlous]

I just did about 40 blue lakes and 20 watermelons

[Johnny Reb]

Just started getting mine planted at the farm.

I've got 30 Celebrity Tomato plants (started from seed), 4 rows of Silver Queen corn, burpless cucumbers, summer squash, butter beans, green beans, cantaloupe, watermelon, and peppers.

I'll post up a better pick once I finish planting this week.

I provided seed and fertilizer to a friend and told him to just drop some off by the house every now and then.

[DRDUCK]

Maters, 2 rows of pretty red taters, peppers, cukes,squash etc. What's up the Marion Maters this year. Could not find anything but single plants. The dude said some to the effect you are lucky you getting um one at the time. I bought Rutgers and better boys.

[bigtimeduckhunter]

Planted mine a little late this year but got it finished last week. I do a raised bed with drip irrigation around all the plants and some micro spray heads on the beans.

Tomatoes--- Better boy, Celebrity, Roma, Marion and cherry

Peppers--- Yellow and Green bells, Jalapenos

Straight neck squash

Zucchini

Blue Lake beans

Burbless Cucumbers

Charleston Grey Watermelon for the kids

We have been eating strawberries for a month now. This is the 3rd year for these plants I put in and they are finally making enough to pick.

[Southernduck]

Sweet corn patch as always, a few maters in the raised beds and my blueberries and blackberries.

Eureka, they are the best tasting cucumbers I have found to date.

Where the hell is your garden? I know it's impressive as always.

Where the hell is your garden? I know it's impressive as always.

It's planted 330 tomatoes, 300 feet of potatoes, 100 various pepper plants, 100 squash,100 cucumbers, a pond of string bean seeds and a pond of okra seed. A few other odd vegetables in there too. Haven't had much time to get it right been planting corn and cotton from rembert to Timmonsville.

[turbo]

I haven't found one I love yet.

I will.

I will.

my grandma makes the best homemade pickles you will ever put in your mouth. But she doesn't plant a garden, someone always gives her the cucumbers. no cucumbers = no pickles. We always have regular cucumbers but this year I am going to do both to ensure I get some pickles

[turbo]

I haven't quite figured out the process/variety combo that yields those glorious Clausen pickles.

I think the heat from the picklin' bath softens them up a bit, but I orta be able to get close, right?
