Have some stuff growing in big fabric pots again.
Jalapenos that are actually jalapenos this time


Black Krim are mostly green still, but a couple are getting close to ripe



Yellow grape tomato plant has tons of clusters, and they're starting to ripen. These are really sweet!



Black cherry tomato plant was just exploding with fruit, but its about 6 ft tall and wind recently knocked it halfway over and lifted the cage out of the ground. I kind of tied it down to support the stem so hopefully it survives.


Got one nice ripe Cherokee Purple and a few Persian cucumbers. The tomato was fantastic. Really meaty and flavorful. The cukes were nasty. Super bitter and just not good at all. I actually spit it out after taking a bite of a slice in my salad.


Cherokee money shot



Also caught a sneaky little thief trying to steal my harvest!

nice work, I gave up, couldn't keep the squirrels and other varmints away from raiding my stuff so I pretty much stick to herbs and shishito peppers, sometimes cherry tomatoes

Grunch

Here in merrie old England the only thing that grows on my balcony is mint and chives really.

Probably because I always forget to water it but the point still stands

I’m supposed to have marjoram in my herb bed too but it doesn’t seem to have emerged again since the last time I used it all. Unsalvageable?

Somebody made a mistake and left me charge of watering their plants for a week. They're off the grid currently. Newly bought blueberry bushes about a foot tall still in the plastic container. Should I just soak the **** out of them every day? They are in the sun for 12 hours.

Id put em somewhere where they get afternoon shade and water them every other day.

While at my grandmother's place in the Midwest, not much else to do there. I've mowed that yard plenty, but not this time. I did the other stuff that makes it pretty. Formerly had a huge garden off to side out of sight, but she's old and that unfortunately isn't possible any more

F these things. 100ft of tangling everyday. Things are unnecessarily heavy too. It's not my house so not going to go on amazon for a spinny roll out thing.
