Cherry Tomatoes

I had 5 cherry tomatoes ready to be picked!  There are still many more that are not ripe enough to pick yet…plus I have new flowers on one of the plants!  Amazing!

It’s also the only plant (other than the garlic and onions) that hasn’t gotten attacked by bugs!  The cucumbers are toast.  The green beans are still growing, but have been attacked by bugs.  The green pepper plants have grown, but have not produced anything and have been attacked by bugs.  *sigh*  Not a good year for planting for me at all!

But here is a wonderful picture of my cherry tomatoes:

A Bunch Of Tomatoes!

The cherry tomatoes are really starting to get going.

They’re a little blurry, but here are some photos:

There are 16 cherry tomatoes in all right now between the 3 plants.  There may be a few more to add to that soon.

I wish I planted more of them now!

Garden Update

The vegetable plants in my containers are really thriving despite having some issues with what I think are white flies.  So far they seem to be happy with the dirt and are for the most part leaving my plants alone.

Here of some pics I’ve taken today of the plants:

All of them together!

My radishes! I’m not really sure what’s going on with them.  It’s been 30 days, but they don’t look done.  Maybe I planted them too deep?  I tried digging one up a little but really couldn’t see much so I stopped because I didn’t want to disturb them too much.

The cherry tomatoes are growing nicely!

The beans are overflowing the container!  They look like they are getting to the point of producing some veggies!

Cucumber plants!

I think it’s time to cut and dry some of my dill, and the chives look to be usable now, too!

How is your garden doing?

More Garden Pics

I took some more updated pictures of my developing garden.

Radishes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans.

Two new ones…onions and more cucumbers.

Another new one…green peppers.

My dill and chives are really growing!

The blue creeping phlox has flowers!

Mexican Heather…I bought four of them.

Painted Lady Hibiscus.

Trying It Again…

I didn’t do too well with most of my seeds earlier in the year…mainly because the weather was all wacky!  So I’m trying it again!

But this time I’m going straight to growing them in containers on my screened in patio like I did in the past and had so much success with.

I’m starting out with radishes (1st time ever growing), cherry tomatoes (I’ve grown full-sized tomatoes in containers before), beans, and cucumbers.  I’ll be adding some others later…I need some more dirt first!

Container with dirt, radish seeds, cherry tomato seeds.

More dirt…plus cucumber and bean seeds.

This is what I did in May 2006!

It gave us just the right amount of fresh veggies for our family!

I’ve also pulled up the orange tree and replaced it with a Lantana.  The orange tree came up without a hitch…I didn’t even have to dig it out!

This is what the area looks like now:

When I get some more dirt, I’ll be filling up some more containers and planting more veggies.  Probably more cherry tomatoes and I’d like to get some green peppers again.

Are you growing any veggies?  What are they?
