July 2023 Garden Tour
July 2023 Garden Update Tour!
WOW, things are growing all over!
Most of my garden starts as seeds, sometime in the middle of winter, Feb, March, and then, planted out as soon as is feasible. Usually Mid April to early May... Here's a quick little tour of the garden, so see how many of the plants have done, for the past 3 or 4 months. My gardens are in New England, zone 6b/7a.
4 kinds of Potato, half a dozen Onion, 3 Carrot types, 18 plus varieties of tomato, another 8 pepper varieties, peas, zucchini, 3 kinds of squash, eggplant, Raspberries, herbs, lettuces, and more. Watch this SHORT video, to see how the garden is fairing, so far!
...and of course, if you SHARE the Video, too! MANY Thanks!
Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

This is beautiful. So all these veggies can survive in bags not directly inside the soil? Your garden is beautiful. I like the tomatoes
all the bags are either 5 gallon (18 liter) for peppers, 7 gallon (27 liter) for tomato, 10 gallon (38 liter) for squash, zucchini, cucumber, peas, or 25 gallon (95 liter) for onions, garlic, carrot, potato.
Thats enough soil, for growing each type of vegetable! Plus,. I fertilize, for each type of veggie.
Wow. That's lovely. Which type is fertilizer do you use? Organic or chemically processed?
I use two types, both Organic:
Dr. Earth's is a liquid, fish-based and immediately available for plants
I use Tomato-Tone, Espoma Organic.
This is a granular organic and takes being in the soil maybe 4 to 8 weeks for soil biology to break it down. it is more of a long term fertilzer.
Looking great, they grew all so nicely.
You have so many tomatoes 🍅 wow.
Have a wonderful day! 👋🏻😎
I see another week or so and I will begin harvesting tomato! Soon, not jsut fresh to eat, but also, to begin making tomato sauce, for either pasta, pizza, or salsa! I juice them, freeze the juice then do big batches of cooking in fall when it is cooler out.
That’s great. Yes… one needs to have those pantry stables 😉
Have fun making the sauce.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
I shall try to have a Wonderful Wednesday... but wow, that is a lot of pressure on me.
Good! Hehehe 🤭 I will take a little bit of the pressure back 😉 !LOL
Enjoy it ☀️

I love your garden.
Especially having it grown in buckets has given me an idea of how I can use certain parts of my garden for the future.

Coral Bell Pepper, that's something completely new for me :)
Love the tour! Potato bunnies! Waiting for updated on this!!!
Bell Pepper, is the Variety, I grow a few Bell Pepper:
California Golden Wonder
Big Red
Sunbright Yellow
and of course, Coral Bell
Then, there's the Sweet Banana Pepper, The Lemon Drop Ajia (a medium hot) and the Purple Beauty. It's more for colour, than flavor.
They all sounds made up! I discovered that my pepper - palette is extremely narrow 🤣
I am at almost ZERO for pepper palette. I grow them more for my daughters. NOT a fan of them.
I had never thought of peppers as a - full of flavour - vegetable. I eat them because of the sulphur(good for hair and nails) and vitamin C content (raw pepper has almost 5 times as much as a lemon), it also has potassium, phosphorus and magnesium - which in turn is important if you often have migraines as often as I do:)
Besides - it crunches! I like crunchy food very much! Celery, carrots! I also like cucumbers, but the store - bought ones usually have no taste at all :p
Store bought cucumber are like water with a green wrapper!
Growing my own, I finally found cucumber that tastes amazing
100%!!!
It is actually the taste of summer of my childhood. We would ate them whole with skin and those tiny spikes, and dirt for that matter. I believe that the kind my Parents had in the garden was called 'Cesar', but my memory can fail me here :D
They were amazing! So crunchy!
Of course, Cesar the King, fit for a Queen!
You deserve nothing but the best!
I would love to try those again:) I haven seen anything remotely similar here. But I am planning to grow some cucumbers next year:)
If you need something, you can just ask, no sweet words needed:) 🙃
The baby bunnies! maybe a little too close to your lettuce haha Garden looks great. We've already had a couple of zucchini. You're pepper reminded my of my jalapeno pepper plant I bought inside. It started a little early so I kept it inside. I'm working through a nice crop of jalapenos. I usually just slice them and have them on a cracker with cheese. They smell so wonderful when you slice them up.
nice... glad the one that came inside
is doing well
Love it! Growing all over. Growing your own. Go for it! What a beautiful garden. So healthy
Very cool garden tour, and I like the photo looking down on the garden from the upstairs window! It's so lush and green and lovely! 💚
