I know there are a few home gardeners here. Be it peppers, tomatoes, or what ever else you grow to eat, lets see your garden.

Mine is a work in progress, first year planting at this house.

here is a video tour:

and some stills

the pics and vid are a few weeks old so everything has grown/ come up since then. I will say the weather is not playing nice though.

If I get around to it, I will update the photos tomorrow.

Looks like a good start...I cheated a bit and bought my pepper plants from a nursery.

The ones I bought at Home Depot were TINY compared to the ones I bought at a regular nursery Shocked

I Planted about a month ago and most of them already have peppers on them Wink

Timely thread, ckone! We finally got our summer garden started Friday. Glad we did because it has rained like h3ll ever since. Still have a few more things to plant, but we're off to a good start.

So far we've got tomatos, peppers, zucchini, yellow and butternut squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and Strawberries! -

There are easily 300-400 blooms and set berries on this patch Very Happy

. Gonna be a great year for Strawberry jam Very Happy

Well, here are the seedlings. Peppers, tomatoes, corn, summer squash and cucumbers. I also planted some herbs, lettuce, spinach and scallions directly outside last weekend. The seedlings won't go in the ground until close to the end of the months.

Jealous of the berry patch. I tried at the last house with 4 or 5 plants and the birds kept beating me to em.

Pat that is a nice start. Some day I will make my own transplants.

I tried hydroponics last year. Set up a drip system in the greenhouse and an ebb and flow outside. All things considered, stuff grew excellent in the greenhouse until the spider mites took over. I tried everything short of burning the place down to get rid of them and couldn't. I harvested the stuff in the greenhouse and then shut it down for the season. The outdoor ebb and flow had tomatoes in it and they produced. The only problem I had there was i had 12 plants- all planted at the same time and all ripened at the same time. Shocked

Most of 'em went to waste... Confused

Here's what we've been picking, on average, every day for the last few days -

We put up (that means 'made' to the non-southerners Laughing

) 5 pints of jam Monday night. If we wouldn't eat so many while we're picking, we would probably have 20 jars up Laughing

Man, I love artichokes. I grew some a few years ago, but I only got 5 from 4 plants and they didn't survive the winter Crying or Very sad

. Wow, that's great you're getting tomatoes and eggplant already. We've had such a cold and wet spring (plus we've been putting in long hours on this house remodel) so we got the garden in about a month later than usual. Going to plant some beans, peas, and okra today.

Awesome looking veggies ya got going on there, brother! Are those eggplants the Japanese kind? That's the kind I plant, as they seem to grow better here.

As for the Artichokes, I did plant them in late summer/fall but they didn't make it through the second winter.

Just went out and picked another quart or so of strawberries Laughing

i did one Japanese eggplant and one globe. the Japanese is producing the globe not so much.

So your artichokes survived one winter but not the second? and you only got one per plant? Something is odd about that but I don't have an answer.
