2025 Gardens

Post by sweetandsour »

I've got 6 Celebrity Plus tomato plants in, and 6 jalapeno plants. I finally received the LSU Gulf Coast tomato seeds and planted 5 in small cups on Monday, and they're sitting inside on a window sill. Hopefully I did it right, I've never planted tomato seeds before.

And this evening, with an almost full moon rising in the east while the sun was setting in the west, I planted 3 20-ft rows of sweet corn.

I planted a Meyer lemon tree and four chili pepper plants today.

That’s as gardener as I get.

It's been raining cats and dogs and supposed to keep raining for the rest of the week, so the beds are a mess right now.
I need to pick up tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers so I'll be ready when everything dries out.

I've got some burpless cucumber plants, and some marigolds and a couple of other pollinators I don't know the name of. Also a small bag of red onions that I need to find a home for somewhere.

The smaller tomatoes (Super Sweet 100s, Midnight Snacks, San Marzano and Roma) will go in buckets this year, leaving a bit more space in the raised beds for larger plant varieties (Beefsteak, Goliath, Mortgage Lifter, Consolute Genovese)
