How long have you been growing garlic?
Garlic gets planted in the fall.
Mixed green beds are popping!
Thinning/micro-greens coming soon.

Cilantro and dill in the front "ornamental" walkway beds.
The mixed green beds.
The main plot.
The rest is all spread around here and there mixed in with groundcover and shrubbery - has worked well in the past. Tomatoes, basil and other herbs, more zucchini, strawberries that keep spreading.

We did jack shot last year and our beds show it. I am trying to get them cleared out, but it is not motivating.
Anyone need some cilantro??
The start of a cute lil one

That is very cool. Perhaps a stupid question, how do you tie the wood into those concrete blocks?

I think I squashed a tomato seedling this morning when watering...oops.
You don't. Just set them in, there's a channel in the middle. The blocks have a hole in the center and you hammer a piece of rebar into the ground through it.Anyone need some cilantro??

Look where the southern sun lays upon the ground in the woods and you will find Ramps...

Oooo and they are flowering.
Just pinch all the buds off, and get it somewhere with a bit more shade.
Came home from work and all 4 varieties of hot peppers have started flowering
Trinidad Scorpion, Habanero, Chocolate Habanero, and Caribbean Red Hot

All my plants seem to have made it through the heat wave
My pepper plants are growing like crazy and still throwing out flowers. I bet if I look hard enough I can find a few peppers starting to grow.
Tomatoes are doing OK
Lemons
Navel Oranges
Clementines
Almost forgot the Trinidad Scorpion Peppers

I've only found a few, but they appear to be flea Beatles.Frig, something has started to chomp down on various plants.
Any tips?
Whatever it is, is only doing it on the eggplant, water melon and the pot plant.
Time to research moar.
First Trinidad Scorpion Peppers have started to grow and show
Cool thread.
That looks amazing. I planted 8 new strawberry plants this weekend. Two location where they in beds where they can spread and grow freely so I hope they will multiply and also be a nice ground cover. Also need to find out if the birds will eat them. In the back year they have so far left them alone.
We lose a lot of them (i estimate roughly 1/3) to squirrels and chipmunks - but they end up leaving the rest of the garden alone. Acceptable trade off for me.
Wife likes her roses in there - I'd be happy to just continue to let them go nuts and tear out everything else around the deck.
That railing on the deck also takes a lot of the view of the garden?
I mix in lavender with my roses. Makes it more wild and they are good strong plants too. I got a lot of roses with the house that I will try to move as they are built into the deck and take the view away from the rest of the garden. Wife like the for cut flowers.
I like all this sympathetic planting and permaculture stuff. If you consider monoculture from the plant’s POV it is kinda crazy we thought that was a good idea.
