Jeevan | 8,909 Events Helper · Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) @Mae247 peppers tend to be oddly shaped when we grow them, but they are always good and tasty Edited August 4, 2020 by Jeevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 That happens with squash and cucumbers if your able to get the growing down correctly and keep picking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had anything like that yield for a whole year, never mind one day’s pick. My girlfriend is the one who’s super into it. We had a raised bed 8’x4’ filled with soil that she custom mixed (peat moss, compost, topsoil, not sure if anything else) and she worked on it all the time.

TDIRunner | 2,725 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I completely missed this thread. We've had a pretty good haul this year. Tons of cucumbers and tomatoes, which is what we normally plant each year. But this year we also had some green pepper, jalapeno, peas and carrots. We actually tried corn for the first time this year, but it didn't take. I'll snap some pictures later if I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are fortunate that we have a big garden, we planted lots of stuff, we haven't gotten much other stuff, we had green peppers which hasn't yielded too much and cabbage was a bust because we were going for trying not to use insecticide. Unfortunately it didnt work out for the cabbage and most of the broccoli . I know dad fertilized quite a bit in the early stages, I will see if i can find the bag and show u what we used, but I bet the fresh top soil we put on this year helped a bunch too. Just gotta try different approaches to see what works out best. If u lived closer u could have all u could eat from my garden. I gave most of that away so it wouldn't go to waste, and i know there is another good haul coming this weekend so we will be stocked up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and that’s very generic, “There is no one definition of what 10-10-10 fertilizer is because each company may have different ingredients.” Thank you, but it’s no big deal and I don’t really care so don’t go to much effort on my behalf. I won’t act on the info. It was just never my thing. Your garden is very impressive though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 3,982 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I don't have a vegetable garden but last year I decided that I would start landscaping my garden. We purchased the property at the end of 2018 and for all of 2019 I put off touching it because it's a massive land. The pandemic kicked me into action and this is the progress so far. I forgot to take pictures at the start, but luckily google maps had some.

B.A. | 1,139 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Super bump! I'm going to give a vegetable garden a try this year. It will be my first go at it since moving to NC where the soil is much different than I am used to. I'm going to do a combination of starter plants and seeds, see what happens. Plan to till this weekend and get the area all ready for planting. Here are my starters so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
