Veggies for 2008
Some of you have started veggie seedlings and others just about ready. A little over a week ago I started my first round of seedlings. Today these were ready to plant: Pumpkins, Beans, and Squash. I put protective cages made from wire fence material around them to keep pesky critters from eating the seedlings. Here's a look at the squash bed:

Re: Veggies for 2008
Today I planted out a row of bean seedlings: California Blackeyed peas, Lima Beans (Fordhook), and Blue Lake beans. These are all bush varieties. The cages around them will come off when the plants are too large to be tempting to rabbits and other varmits.
The white dots you see at the edge of the mulch are snail & slug bait pellets. To the right of the bean row are five Flame Grape plants on a trellis in the foreground and an espalliered Kei Apple male-female pair in the background.

Re: Veggies for 2008
I can't help it, I'm envious! I wish I had the time, space, and energy to grow a vegetable garden again. You have an awesome garden plot, also like the site map! Can't wait to see pics. of some mature plants.

Re: Veggies for 2008
I took a few pictures of the vegetables growing at our place this morning ...
The "upper" patch of 5 tomato plants, with Green Grape and Momotaro lagging behind Better Boy, Celebrity, and Mr. Stripey in size A patch of "Sugar" and "Connecticut Field" pumpkins. The latter has 20" pumpkins ripening weekly. Pumpkin pie, coming up! "Blue Lake" and "California Black-eye" beans happily shaded from the morning sun by the grape arbor The "lower" patch of tomatoes: Sun Gold, Cherokee Purple, Azoychka, Palla di Fuoco, and Persimmon. A patch of Ambrosia muskmelons planted next to my cherry trees. The local rabbits really like the leafs of this plant, so the plants stay "trimmed" inside their garden fencing. Peter Pan and 8-ball squash

Re: Veggies for 2008
I love veggie gardening. Not only is it good for you to eat your own homegrown, if for some reason I don't feel like messing with the produce at that moment, I go to a farmers market and can always make a buck off the excess.
We have out about 60 tomato plants, mostly heirlooms, 30+ peppers and 4 rows of green beans, a couple hundred garlic plants, and about 500 onions. And a row of okra.8-10 eggplants. We've been picking a few tomatoes this week to sell that I grew as semi-hydro in the greenhouse.

Re: Veggies for 2008
Sandy, if you've read "The $64 Tomato" you'll understand that I'm just about out of the "picking fruit" phase and in the next year or two I'll be in the "harvesting" phase. At that point I'm likely to obtain a booth at the Poway farmers market.
