Earlier I posted on my spring massacre where I fried the majority of my starts so this is an update on the survivors/additions
Here on the East Coast we have had a brutally hot summer. Dry in the start but we have been getting periodic heavy rains which has helped.
I have limited space being in a small rowhouse with some gradual occupation of the vacant lot next door which I am trying to gain title to but this spring was totally crapped up by the builders of the fugly new "green" houses on what was a defacto park next door (IMO they are more green in $$ than anything else)
the rundown for me...
The grape vine planted last year has grown wonderfully and is producing nicely and covering my back fence.
The hardy Kiwi flowered but no fruit.. maybe next year.
Tomato plants have great growth but not so much fruit. They are too dense as I got a bunch of near dead plants sort of late for free and re-hydrated the suckers and planted them deep but still expected many to die.. but they all lived and now are crowded. The main problem is they were unlabeled and I lost the labels to the ones I bought so I have no idea what is what.
Planted a bunch of peppers which are producing nicely but not very big (all in pots)
One of the seed started artichokes survived and is growing nicely in a container so if I over winter it well it should produce next year.
My sunflowers which I did not water are blooming but shrimpy.
Tomatillos the plants are lovely and flowering profusely but no fruit set yet
I all but killed a flourishing pot of lavender by thinking it needed more sun.
Squash started late but growing well hopefully will mature before frost.
Basil and other herbs that survived my seed start massacre are doing well
a few pics:
So how's everything going for you this summer?
don't even ask about my poor cilantro.
