Snow Peas and Carrot Planted 8/26/2018

I pulled up a sick looking pepper plant and seeded some snow peas in one bed. In the bed with okra, I cut back some of the low leaves and put in another row of snow peas and some carrots. I notice the comfrey that is under the okra (shaded mostly) is growing much better than the comfrey that has full sun. I’m hoping the snow peas and carrot will benefit in the same way. I’m a little concerned that none of the seeds (broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach have sprouted yet. It may have just been too hot lately. If I don’t see anything by the end of the week, I’ll reseed it all.

Harvest 8/1/2018

Aiden helped me pick tomatoes, peppers, and a few okra. The okra are just starting to produce. We found hornworms on the tomatoes, so we need to check those daily. I cut the tomato plants way back because they were so overgrown and intertwined. When planted as close as they are, you are supposed to keep the suckers cut, which I have failed to do. I had some carrots that should have been harvested months ago. They were not too tasty.

Tomatoes and Peppers – March 30 2018

The local Ace hardware store was selling plants for $2 each. They are a little smaller than what I’ve seen at the big box stores, but half the price. I picked up 3 tomatoes and 4 peppers and planted them.

The snap peas, carrots, turnips, radish, beets, and lettuce have all sprouted now too. Continue reading →
