One quick shot of cool air and it's back to being hot for this time of year. At least it is not too hot to grow and things are coming along.<br />
<br />
The peppers haven't done too much yet. A few Fooled You Jalapenos and finally a California Wonder Pepper is fruiting. With the wind being pretty strong lately the peppers have taken the brunt of it and they have been beat up.<br />

The Yellow Granex onions are growing a little quicker it seems. I have a problem with mole crickets in the beds sometimes and they have eaten a few of the onions which is aggravating. Once it cools down a bit they seem to go away. I might try some parasitic nematodes which would take care of them, too,<br />

Next the Roma Tomatoes are blooming like crazy. I have found a few fruit forming in the thick foliage which is encouraging. The last couple times I grew them they didn't come out well.<br />

The first crop of cucumbers is still puttering along but about finished. The next crop is flowering and setting some fruit. With the cooler weather the leaves are starting to get mold and mildew on them. Also they are still infested with aphids but the lady bugs are there too so I don't want to spray anything for the aphids.<br />

Here we have everglades Tomatoes which pretty much grow wild and where they feel like growing. These started right around the compost pile and are taking over that area.<br />

All in all things are doing fine. Once my business slows down more I will have time to get a lot more seeds started and more winter crops put out. That's it for now.<br />
Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889936294923582739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524236174267139645.post-30198558338945328162013-11-09T09:59:00.002-05:002013-11-09T09:59:47.193-05:00November is under way.While the northern parts of the U.S. are under some snow our growing season is now fully under way. The sun has not been so oppressive even though our temperatures have been running a bit above normal for the last couple of weeks. I think this is part of the reason my plants seem to have really begun to grow.<br />
<br />
Since the peppers are in a bed that doesn't have much wind protection they to a good beating the last couple of days. We had a lot of wind as a cool front has tried to make it's way here.<br />
<br />
I found out after doing some research that the wrinkly pepper leaves are probably caused by a calcium deficiency in the plant. That in my opinion is much preferable to disease being the culprit. Even though this one Fooled You Jalapeno has the problem the worst it still is the first plant to produce fruit.<br />

The next bed has Cabbage, Toy Choy, and Red Butterhead Lettuce. Most are looking real healthy and the cabbage is beginning to head up. The choy is about ready to harvest. This variety takes around three to four weeks from germination to harvest so you aren't waiting what seems like forever for some fresh produce to eat.<br />

Finally we have some Eggplant success!! From reading different forums people have said the cause of the flowers dropping is mainly lack of water or the humidity is too high which causes the pollen to stick and not fall.<br />
Our humidity was real bad and now that it has cooled off and dropped we have fruit.<br />

The next Beefsteak tomato crop is in. I don't know the variety because the small pack just said Beefsteak on it. It was from a school fundraiser and my wife purchased a kit with several different veggie and herb seeds in it.<br />

Here the Papaya have begun to ripen and we have picked a few. At least they don't all ripen at once.<br />

My Carambola has really kicked it into gear. One nice thing about them is they have several crops a year. It just amazes me how easy these are to grow and yet the stores around here sell them for up to $2 each and people buy them.<br />

And finally the Pineapple look great. I noticed a new one popping out from a plant that I don't think is a year old. Usually it takes are 18 months or so. The other four are really large and can be picked now but will be much better if left to ripen a bit before I pick them.<br />

I have begun running drip lines as I prepare each bed for a new crop now. I run the drip lines at 20 psi and use 1/4 inch line with 1/2 gallon per hour drippers spaced every 6 inches. I have been running them twice a day for 10 minutes at a time. I think I can cut it back because the soil seems plenty moist every time I check it.<br />
<br />
The first bed up contains the pepper plants. I removed the shade cloth now and they seem to be doing fine. An Avocado tree shades them until the afternoon so they are not getting all day sun which seems to be too much.<br />
The two plants on the left are Fooled You hybrid Jalapenos which have no heat. I love them stuffed with cream cheese and sausage but did not like the heat from regular Jalapenos. The rest are California Wonder Bell Peppers.<br />

Here is a mystery. All my peppers did this last year but after a while grew out of it. The leaves get really gnarled and it seems as if the plant should die but last year after a couple weeks the peppers put out new leaves and grew fine. I don't know what it is. Only this one plant in the bed looks like this. They were all started at the same time with the same mix and fertilizer. They also were all transplanted at the same time. Only time will tell if this one makes it. <br />

We try to use a lot of fresh Basil, Italian Parsley, and Cilantro with our cooking so I always keep some growing as much as I can. These were all planted at the same time. The parsley takes a bit longer to germinate while the basil seems to germinate almost immediately.<br />

Next we have been harvesting Green Beans from these and have had enough to share with some friends. Caterpillars were getting too numerous so I began to spray with some Moterey Garden Insect Spray which is organic.<br />

My Black Beauty Eggplant are growing like crazy but still no pollinated flowers. I tried hand pollinating a few so we will see if it takes. This has never happened before. Every time in the past my eggplants have always produced huge crops. Hopefully this will change soon.<br />

Next the Pineapple should begin to ripen real soon. I don't think I will grow them in pots like this again. Maybe one or two but not this many. Instead I will just plant them anywhere I have a little extra space.<br />

Here the Marketmore Cucumbers are out of control. Instead of thinning them like I know I should I just let them grow. I now have several bags of them in the fridge and have given a lot away. Once they start producing they seem to go crazy. You have to check them everyday or two or else you will find one that gets missed about three times the normal size. They seem to get too big like that over nite<br />

The Butternut Squash are about ready to pick. Some of them have so mouse damage which occurred a while ago when they were small. They scabbed over though so I think they will be fine. I set out traps and caught several rats and mice. From now on I will have to be more proactive with my pest control.<br />

Finally we have the Pack Man Broccoli and Radishes in this bed coming right along. We have harvested several radishes which have been delightfully mild.<br />

Because the concrete blocks were placed where existing beds were they all began to lean in as the ground slowly compacted. So I had to take the blocks down and redo them by adding dirt under the blocks and compacting it again to make them straight.<br />
<br />
Here is one I will hopefully finish tomorrow as we have some zucchini seedlings to plant and I want to get some carrots planted.<br />

The one right next to it I just got done with it this morning. I got the drippers layed out and working and transplanted Cabbage, Toy Choy, and Red Butterhead lettuce seedlings. Seedlings always look tiny when first planted but when they are getting close to harvest time things end up looking pretty crowded. It took a while for me to get that through my head and things always were too crowded. I'm learning but still plant things too close.<br />
<br />
The lettuce and choy are under shade cloth because the sun is still pretty intense. <br />

Here is where the seedlings came from. The cabbage was started in individual flats. There are two in each planting so they will still have to be thinned.<br />

Next pic is of the peppers which are doing pretty good. I still keep them under shade cloth during most of the day or else they get real wilty looking. We are still waiting for that first blast of nice cool air.<br />

Next here are the Rome Tomatoes. It seems once tomatoes take root they really take off. I notice these getting larger every day now. Once again most of them have two plants together so they will need to be thinned soon as in today.<br />

Next we have some Provider Snap Beans that are blooming and producing a nice crop. Some of the beans will be ready this week to pick. The Black Beauty Eggplant have been blooming like crazy but so far the flowers just continue to drop. This has not happened here before. Usually as soon as they begin to bloom we start getting fruit but so far nothing. My Butternut and Cucumbers are getting pollinated and I see bees out there doing their thing so this is kind of puzzling. At first I thought it might be because of all the rain we were getting in September but now it hasn't rained in two weeks.The temperature hasn't been too bad either. Just normal to slightly above normal so I will have to do a little research to figure this out.<br />

The Butternut Squash has done wonderfully so far. I was a little dismayed when I noticed a few weeks ago that several of them had chew marks on them and they weren't even ripe.One nice one was even almost completely eaten. So I began setting out rat traps and sure enough we caught several rats and mice. Now I keep them out there set up and so far every couple of days we will get a few.<br />
<br />
I also began setting out traps for raccoons and have caught five so far along with two possums which I take out into the woods a bit away and turn loose. I have had them tear up freshly planted beds over nite after I had worked all day transplanting seedlings and planting seeds.<br />

Now my Cucumbers are taking over. Once again I transplanted them with two in each planting and didn't thin them. Now they are going crazy. Unlike the squash when these began flowering we had tons of male flowers and no females which meant no cukes. The squash began send out lots of females with no males at first which meant no squash. Well now the squash sends up a male flower here and there for every several females and finally the cukes began sending out some females of which a few have now been pollinated.<br />
<br />
I am staggering the cuke plantings every couple of weeks instead of all at once. This way I hope not to end up with 20 or more every day or so and then none when they are done.<br />

And finally a Pickleworm moth I caught on the cukes. These little things wreak havoc on squash and cucumber plants and are real hard to control. I use Spinosad based insecticide when I first notice them. They like to lay eggs on the flowers and as soon as they hatch the worm burrows into the flower making it hard for them to ingest the insecticide. If it is on a female flower it will then burrow into the fruit and begin eating it from the inside so you get a fruit full of mush if it grows large enough to pick. You will notice the little green worms especially on the tender ends of the vines if you look.<br />
<br />
He is just above the bar right about the middle of the pick on the underside of a leaf.<br />

That's all for today.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889936294923582739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524236174267139645.post-71231017839747472572013-10-05T15:33:00.002-04:002013-10-05T15:33:56.466-04:00Fall has finally arrived!Or so it says so on the calendar. It is still getting up into the low 90s and the rain just keeps on coming. I read one article that said we haven't had a Summer stretch of rain like this since the late 1800s when they started keeping records.<br />
<br />
Because of the rain I lost several seedlings as I go to work and then it pours on them and I come home to flooded seed trays. Then the damping off sets in and they all die. I am in the process of solving that problem with a large grow light setup which I will be putting together in the near future. This will be kept inside so I won't have to rely on the weather which is unreliable to start with.<br />
<br />
I have been able to get a few things going though and here are a few pics.<br />
<br />
First the fruit trees on the side of the house have loved all the rain. Wow has this Carambola tree really taken off!! Also the Avocado in the center has added a lot of growth compared to last year.<br />

Butternut Squash is really blooming in the next bed. They put out a ton of female flowers at first and then about two weeks later the males started blooming so I think they are now getting pollinated.<br />

And finally we have Cucumbers. The smaller vines are a couple weeks younger than the big vines. I am trying to stagger plants more this year to keep the harvest coming instead of all at once.<br />

Now that it is looking like dry weather will be on the way I need to finish prepping more beds and really get things rolling along.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889936294923582739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524236174267139645.post-68575280325984618352013-04-27T13:59:00.002-04:002013-04-27T13:59:41.983-04:004-27 potato harvest.Today is the day to harvest the potatoes. These are the Red Pontiacs I planted back in January. They are supposed to take about 90 days to mature so I picked this weekend to harvest them which was a little more than 90 days. You can also tell they are ready when the vines die back.<br />
<br />
First up though we pulled up a crop of carrots.<br />

Now on to the potatoes. Here is what the vines look like when they are ready to harvest:<br />

<br />
For the last couple of weeks I would dig around the base of a few vines to see if there was anything. Here is what I would find which let me know they were doing their job:<br />

Here is the harvest. I was pretty amazed because I had read that you could expect 3 to 5 pounds per pound of seed potatoes. I ended up with around 30 pounds of potatoes from 2 pounds of seed potatoes.<br />
<br />
The first couple of plants:<br />

The garden has really been producing with not much bug activity because of the colder than normal March and the harvest has been plentiful. Here are some nice pics of how things are do now.<br />
<br />
First I have two kinds of canteloupe, Hales Best and Maverick growing on the east side of the house. They are blooming and I found a couple fruits hiding under the leaves.<br />

My Red Pontiac Potatoes are doing well even though the plants are beginning to die. You are supposed to harvest them after the plants die off. I have been digging around the base of the plants and yes there are some nice taters under the soil.<br />

The next bed has the last remaining Redbor Kale, Pack Man Broccoli, carrots, and Mosai Beens. The broccoli has been harvested but will continue to send up side shoots to harvest for a while.<br />

This bed has lettuce that has bolted along with some bell peppers and Lacinato Kale. I always plant way too much lettuce but if it's not given away then it just gets recycled back into the compost.<br />

The Tribute Strawberries aren't doing too well. Many of them sprouted and then died. I think maybe the sun was too intense so I need to put up the shade cloth. The Florida Prince PEach tree is kind of making up for it though.<br />

But that is not stopping the garden from growing. The nice thing about the cold air is that the bugs aren't so active. I did have an infestation of caterpillars on my tomatoes but the Monterey insect spray took care of them.<br />
<br />
Our first stop will be the bed where the Redbor Kale was growing. I harvested the rest of the leaves and then prepped the bed with some more mushroom compost, azomite, greensand, Dr Earth Tomato Vegetable and Herb fertilizer, and also a little vermiculite and peat moss.<br />
<br />
I planted a couple Green Bell Pepper plants along with some Pink Beauty Radishes. The radishes are supposed to be a mild tasting variety.<br />

Next we have the Red Pontiac potatoes which are doing spectacular. Quite a change from the Colorado Rose potatoes I tried last year which were a disaster.<br />

I harvested all the mature Packman Broccoli heads from the next bed and planted some carrot seeds and bush beans. One half of the bed has the next crop of Packman Broccoli still growing along with 2 Redbor Kale plants left over from an earlier planting.<br />

Next we have the Celebrity Tomatoes I had purchased that had two plants in each pot. As you may recall I separated them into individual pots and then when they got larger transplanted them in the bed they occupy now. That is a good way to bring the cost per plant down and save you some money, They are full of tomatoes and one is even beginning to get ripe.<br />

Here is the next crop of Celebrity Tomatoes which I started from seed. I transplanted them today next to the cauliflower. I still have several extra seedlings in pots in case any of these don't make it. The cages are 20" sized Texas Tomato Cages. They come in two sections that fit together.<br />

My Tribute Strawberries are supposed to arrive today so this past week I finished preparing the strawberry towers. Once the crowns are planted I then will soon finish the drip system for the pots and then build a frame to put shade cloth over them. I think the summer sun will be too harsh on them and also I am sure the birds will want to eat fresh ripe berries so bird netting will also be deployed when needed.</div>

A quick update with a recipe I just can't get enough of. My wife got me started on stuffed Jalapenos but one thing I dislike is spicy food. They were kind of addicting but the heat I could do without. Some tmes one would be particularly hot and that would end it for me. I know I'm a whimp but that is just how it is.<br />
<br />
Anyways I found a hybrid Jalapeno called Fooled You which peeked my interest. It has all the taste of the peppers but none of the heat. I'll try it I figured and yes it lives up to it's description. The plants are extremely productive and produce beautiful and abundant Jalapenos without even a hint of heat. The flavor is fantastic!!<br />
<br />
So what do we do with a bowl of them? We stuff them of course. Here they are in all their glory rinsed and ready to be processed into sausage stuffed Jalapeno goodness.<br />
<br />

<br />
The recipe I found calls for 22 peppers, 1 8oz pkg of cream cheese, 1 lb of sausage, and 1 cup of shredded fresh Parmesan cheese. Since this isn't a science experiment I used<br />
<br />
1 lb pkg of Tennessee Pride mild sausage.<br />
1 8oz pkg of cream cheese and what was left of an opened pkg which was about 4 oz<br />
what was left in the Parmesan container which was a little more than a cup.<br />
Enough peppers to use up the mixture.<br />
<br />
It says to put one tbsp of mixture into each pepper but I put less because I really like the flavor of these peppers cooked and don't want it to get drowned out from the stuffing flavor.<br />
<br />
I halved the peppers and removed the seeds from them. Then placed them on a foil lined cookie sheet.<br />

Next my potatoes are really growing quickly. They have all been hilled up with the furrows filled in so the tubers grow under ground. I am thinking they will be ready to harvest around the end of April.<br />

Here the onions are doing fantastic. I pulled one and added it to the stir fry which was fabulous. These were really easy to start from seed and I am real happy with them. We love Vidalia onions and this is the same variety used to grow them though they cannot be legally called Vidalias. They taste just as good if not better.<br />

Here we have the strawberry towers set up. They now need soil with crowns and then I have to install the drip irrigation for them. I have the crowns ordered which should be shipped out soon. Each tower holds 24 plants so that is a total of 144 plants. Tribute is the variety which we did real well with in the bed I had.<br />

Though it has been cooler than last year we still didn't get any freezing weather at all. In anticipation of lots of frost I delayed some seed starting and now wish I would have gone on and started them. We did have one day with a very very light dusting of frost but I don't think that really counts for much.<br />
<br />
With the warm weather things are starting to grow faster. Remember the potatoes planted last month? They are doing fabulous. Once the sun started hitting the rows they really began growing. The back rows got moving quicker because they got more sun. As it moved higher in the sky every day the next row would get hit and finally the last row, Here is what they look like now:<br />

Next we have some broccoli. This year I am trying tog grow a few at a time instead of a whole bed at a time to stagger the harvest. At the bottom are a couple kale plants I had extra and didn't want to waste them.<br />

The Pak Choi has really taken off along with the Brussels Sprouts. We have already made stir fry out of a few of the Pak Choi. They are really easy to grow and don't take long to mature. You can even use them when they are small so try growing a bunch. There are many varieties of it with different tastes to experiment with.<br />

The Banana Peppers that looked pretty bad when I first transplanted them have begun to come along nicely. Now hopefully some of them will ripen up fully. They end up turning red when fully ripe and that is when they are the sweetest but you can use them at any stage of their maturity.<br />

Our lettuce crop is next. Putting shade cloth over it really seems to help especially when we have warm spells as the lettuce begins to turn a little bitter in the heat. As with the broccoli and other things I am trying to succession plant it so we have a continuous supply.</div>

I am trying cauliflower this year for the first time. This variety is called Graffiti and is purple. It is supposed to keep it's purple color even when it is cooked. The vegetables with color are supposed to be higher in antioxidants and other nutrients than the pale colored or white colored veggies.</div>

Next my Florida Prince Peach is blooming and budding out because of the warm weather. The Florida King actually did go dormant this year and has a few buds on it now also but not as many as this one. Hopefully I'll get some peaches this year as we got a big goose egg for peaches last year.</div>

That's all for now. More bed prepping and seed starting on the agenda for this week.</div>

I've been planting and harvesting a few things but the important thing is I finally got my beds finished!! Now I can concentrate on growing food without looking at pallets of concrete blocks and compost needing to be moved and built into beds.<br />
<br />
Now let's take a look and see what we have going on in the garden. The first stop is along the East side fence. These are Everglades tomato plants. They are native to Florida and pretty much just grow like weeds and produce huge amounts of tiny but very tasty tomatoes. A friend gave me a plant a while back and the birds managed to scatter the seeds everywhere when the dined on the little tomatoes. Now they just start popping up and I let them grow. I never do anything for them other than pick their fruit and they just keep on growing for months all by themselves.<br />

A small bed I made strictly for herbs. Here is some Italian Parsley and Cilantro. We use a lot of it. This has grown well in an area that gets no direct sun in the winter. I planted some Basil in with the other herbs and it sprouted then promptly died. I think it needs a few hours of sun each day to thrive.<br />

Here is the newest crop of lettuce that is about to be transplanted this evening. Starting lettuce from seed is very easy. I put two or three seeds in each cell. Then when ready to replant if you are careful you can separated the little plants instead of wasting them by thinning out.<br />

Next we have some Celebrity Tomatoes purchased from Lowe's. When buying the plants I usually look for pots that have two or three seedlings in them. Then carefully separate them at home and end up with several plants for the price of just a few. These were three pots each with two plants in them. Walla, six Celebrity plants growing well.<br />

I did the same with an Eggplant I bought at WalMart the other day. I re-potted them so they can develop a strong root system before placing out in the garden.<br />

Some more Cilantro and Italian Parsley just beginning to sprout. If you plant a little every couple of weeks then you will have a continuous supply.<br />

A little caterpillar I found while taking the pics this morning. They aren't causing too much damage so I just pick them off by hand until they get to numerous. Then out comes the Spinosad.<br />

Here are some Banana Peppers that are finally starting to look a bit better and produce some fruit. The leaves were all deformed and curly when I first planted them. I suspect it was some kind of nutrient deficiency which now seems to have been corrected.<br />

The onions I grew last year turned out pretty good so I tried starting my own from seed this year. These are the same variety used to grow Vidalia Onions from Georgia. They were really easy to get growing. I just sprinkled some seed in a small container and kept it wet. After they sprouted I waited until they grew to be about six inches tall. Then I separated them and planted about 6 inches or so apart.<br />

Here I planted Carrots and Beets. The Carrots are doing okay but the Beets have only a few survivors. A friend of mine started his beets in seed trays and transplanted them into his garden with great results. I think I will try that next.<br />

Here is what's left of some Tomatoes that got neglected. I am going to salvage what is left of the good ones and remove the plants to grow something else there. They are infested with caterpillars.It has been so warm here this winter again that the moths are out in force at night laying there eggs constantly. Usually the cold controls them real well in the winter.<br />

The Green Beans are doing good and some are ready to harvest. I have noticed a few caterpillars beginning to show up on them but they are few and far between. No need for insecticide yet. Even though it is organic I don't like to use it unless needed.<br />

And here is that last head of Cabbage in this bed. As you can see it is splitting from being left in there too long. This doesn't ruin it or anything but it needs to be picked.<br />

These Peppers are called Fooled You hybrid because they are a Jalapeno with no heat. People who like Jalapenos but not spicy foods should really like this Pepper.<br />

I picked up a bag of Red Seed Potatoes from WalMart when I was there the other day. I will be planting them in a couple days. Today I sliced them into planting chunks each with an eye or two. They now need to dry for a day or two and then we will plant them in one of the new beds.<br />

Next a shot across the back garden area. A volunteer watermelon vine popped up so I figured I would let it grow and see what we get. These are the last two beds I plan on redoing and it won't be for a while so maybe we'll get a melon or two.<br />

Here are some seedlings that I plan on transplanting later today. I have Pac Choi, a couple varieties of lettuce, some Fordhook Giant swiss chard, and some Grannex sweet onions to transplant. There are also some pepper starts but they need to get larger first.<br />

Here we have a few Pac Man broccoli plants and some cabbage. They still need to be thinned out. I plant a few together in each seed starter container because if I don't then I always lose a couple after transplanting them. This way I just thin them out when they get large enough to be certain they won't die.<br />

I also decided to try some red kale this year. I have never grown it
before but after eating some a while ago I figured I would try growing
it myself. It was quite good.<br />

Finally a pumpkin that didn't get destroyed from the pickle worms. The Monterey Garden Insect Spray worked wonders on them. Since it is organic and similar to Bt I have no doubts about using it.<br />

My squash are beginning to produce now, too. I'm not sure what variety this is because they all were given to me. This is some type of straight neck and I also have a few yellow squash plants.<br />

Rain rain and more rain constantly falling. This keeps everything wet and the ground soggy so I can't work the soil up in the beds. Also the heat index stays up around 100 everyday which the plants aren't too fond of. I've had a few tomatoes die but when I start seeds I always start extras to replace any that don't work out.<br />
<br />
The warm muggy nights keeps the moths active. Especially the pickleworms
which have done a number on my pumpkins, cucumbers and now squash. I
try to pick them off by hand as much as possible but there is just no
way to get them all and it only takes a few to keep the cycle going. I
sprayed with BT but that seemed only to have a limited effect. Last
night I hit everything with Spinosad which is like BT but not the same
bacteria. This morning while examining the results I found dead and
dying pickleworm larvae all over the leaves. Maybe this will keep them
at bay and I will get some crops after all.<br />
<br />
The Carambola tree is just busting out with blooms I even found a couple fruit hiding up inside it. We like these and since they cost $1.99 each at the local Publix this tree already paid for itself after the first 10 I picked. <br />

Here is the pumpkin vine. You can see the damage the pickleworms do to the leaves. Then they burrow into the flowers and any fruit that begin to form already have a worm inside which destroys the fruit.<br />

Both of my peach trees started to bloom. This is kind of weird because they usually don't bloom until spring after they have had enough chill hours. Someone on another forum said theirs did the same thing and suggested that it might be because the winter was so warm last year that we really didn't have one. We'll see what happens as they should start losing their leaves for the winter. If it shows up this year.<br />

Next are the Asian Cucumbers. They have really taken off and are now full of blooms and several fruit. The pickleworms love cucumbers too and there is a lot of damage on the leaves. So far the fruits haven/t been affected and I soaked them real well with Monterety Insect spray which has Spinosad in it. There were a lot of dead larvae on the leaves this morning.<br />

I pulled up the peppers which were all malformed and circling the drain. In their place I planted some Jetsetter Tomatoes I started from seed. They are doing well.<br />

The Derby Beans are doing well, too. Also they are putting out flowers so we should be harvesting fresh beans in a couple weeks. Hopefully I will be able to can some this time around.<br />

I noticed this little beasty munching on a pepper plant this morning while sitting outside having a cup of coffee. At first I thought it was just a weird looking leaf but no it is a Tomato Hornworm. Usually they hit the tomatoes but also will attack the peppers and eggplant.<br />

And finally here is the start of remaking a bed into a double stacked concrete block bed. I have several more of these to make and then run the pvc for the drip system. Once it's done though then the hardest part is over.<br />

I am rebuilding several of my beds into double stacked blocks instead of 1 high. I haven't gotten very far because it has just kept on raining and everything having to do with the yard and garden is just plain soggy. So much for crying though as I did get some seeds started and a few items transplanted. Let's take a look and see what we have going on right now.<br />
<br />
First on the East side of the house we have the Carambola tree which is loaded with blooms. One thing I like about it is that it bears several crops all year long so you can keep on getting fruit to eat throughout the year.<br />

Next the Papaya have really taken off with the rain. They are loaded with fruit and we pick a couple every day or so. There is not much to worry about with them. Just plant them and make sure they get enough water and they do their thing. <br />

Next I have some Pumpkins growing near the Papaya. They have started to bloom and I am hoping to have some ripe by Thanksgiving. <br />

I am going to be starting more seeds this year so I don't have to rely on the store for transplants. Here I have Cabbage, Packman broccoli, and Red Kale in the left tray. Yellow Granex onions occupy the tray on the right. They are the same variety as Vidalia onions are except you can't call them Vidalia unless they are grown where only Vidalia onions can be grown.<br />

I separated a few Tomato seedlings and transplanted them here. They are under the grow light until their root systems grow enough to support them. This way they won't get forgot about in the sun and then I come out to find a bunch of shriveled plants.<br />

We had a lot of rain at the end of August. I was able to start a few seeds and am now working on getting the beds ready for planting. I am having a mess load of concrete blocks and compost delivered tomorrow so I can make all the block beds two blocks high. Then I can finish my drip system and finally really concentrate on just growing. The building of the beds is definitely the hardest part<br />
<br />
So let's see what has been going on out back in the garden the last few weeks. First here is a pic of some papaya I picked this morning. The papaya produced all Summer and every four or five days we had a ripe one or two to eat. Not bad considering how much they cost in the store and they are very easy to grow. Basically just plant in fertile soil, water and forget and they just do their thing.<br />

Some of the seeds I started. The top two contain different varieties of peppers and the bottom are Mici Hybrid Asian cucumbers. They produced well for me in the Spring and the flavor was very good. Probably some of the best tasting cukes I have ever grown.<br />

Here is a shot of the pineapple plants. Once they take root they really start growing well and don't need much attention at all. Then in about eighteen months you get a pineapple. Sure they take a long time to produce but if you plant a few every month then when they start producing you get a few every month and you can easily just keep the cycle going.<br />

These are Derby Beans I planted about 10 days ago or so. The seed is a couple years old so not all germinated. I planted one seed at every drip emitter but probably should have planted two. I went on ahead today and planted two more seeds at every place where they didn't germinated. I'm hoping that being less than two weeks apart they will all be able to grow fine. We'll see what happens.<br />

The bed where eight of the pepper plants are going to go. I am going to start them out under the shade cloth because even though Summer is almost over, the afternoon sun is still pretty intense.<br />

Here is how I get the beds ready for planting. I start out with the bed.<br />

Then rake any mulch off it. Then I fork it up to loosen the soil then rake it smooth.<br />
<br />

Then begin adding the amendments. I start with about an inch or two of peat moss and spread it over the bed. Then begin spreading what I am going to use over the peat moss. In this case I liberally spread some fertilizer from Gardens Alive which is 4-3-1 organic fertilizer. Then a couple cups of Azomite and then Greensand. <br />

The fertilizer in the orange bag is Peace of Mind Tomato and Vegetable fertilizer which I will add as I transplant the peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers.<br />
<br />

It ends up like this. Then I spread an inch or two of compost over it, fork it in and then rake it smooth. Now it's just ready to have the drip system laid over top of it and it is ready to plant. Now to get to work and finish more beds and get more seeds started. The Fall planting season is here.<br />

It's almost time to start a few things from seed and to get ready for the Fall growing season. But just because it's Summer doesn't mean nothing grows here in Florida.We've had several watermelons and a couple nice sweet pineapple and papaya to eat and share with the neighbors. The sweet potatoes are taking over and I am going to harvest one bed today.<br />
<br />
We had success with some of the herbs but the red potato pieces I planted did nothing. They started to grow then abruptly died. Here are a few pics of what we have going on today.<br />
<br />
Along the east side of my house the papayas have really taken off and the small avocado is loaded with fruit. Several avocados have just fallen off but I think it is because the tree is still very small. I'll be surprised if most of these grow to maturity. <br />

Here is what is left of an Everglades tomato that grew by itself along the fence. We harvested lots of the small and very tsty fruit from it for several months. It just grew and produced all Spring even through the drought we had going on without ever being watered or complaining. Then again Everglades tomatoes are native to Florida from what I understand so they grow pretty well without help here. It is full of Tomato Hornworms now and pretty much stripped of foliage. I keep looking for signs of parasitic wasps on the hornworms but none yet.<br />

My Florida Prince peach has really branched out with new growth so hopefully we will get some peaches next Spring. I think it only requires 150 or so chill hours to produce but if Winter is anything like the last one we will be lucky to 15 chill hours. Let's hope for some cold this year.<br />

Sweet potatoes are in the Morning Glory family and some times you will get some blooms on them. As I was cutting away the vine from the bed I am harvesting today I found one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3uyvqbWbY2JH3fkpmcP-TuIEFQ5ZnEPxM8JVbyi1sgMMAaaJONxZwjNxJSuja2_T0pr-LwyOlW3ioWQOKkqGeDOZC2sYp3HGXnj8ODP_lcIVWj_TAyWUT7WfdDndPeir9JWp4MXdFXSJ/s1600/P1012336.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF3uyvqbWbY2JH3fkpmcP-TuIEFQ5ZnEPxM8JVbyi1sgMMAaaJONxZwjNxJSuja2_T0pr-LwyOlW3ioWQOKkqGeDOZC2sYp3HGXnj8ODP_lcIVWj_TAyWUT7WfdDndPeir9JWp4MXdFXSJ/s400/P1012336.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
I also found that everywhere the vines touched the mulch they began sending out new roots which suspect would end up resulting in more tubers. This gave me an idea to try next time I grow them. When I first plant the slips I will let them grow and as they vine out I will cut some off and root them in some water. Then set them out in another bed and do it again a few times. Maybe this way I can stagger the harvest out. These are supposed to be mature in 90 days and since our hot weather can be much longer than 90 days I should get a couple crops from them.<br />

<br />
As I cut away the vines I found some animal has been digging in the bed and eating the tubers right at the top of the soil. I think I am going to have to lay some fencing over the top of the bed next time to keep the animals out. <br />

This is what I ended up with. Not too bad. Also I only found one grub in the bed where I dug. Last year grubs had infested my beds and pretty much destroyed most of my sweet potatoes. This year I sprayed the beds with parasitic nematodes for the grubs and it seems to have worked very well.<br />

Here is some damage where the invader ate part of the roots. Also I found several large skins right at the surface of some of the plants where they were completely eaten or I would have gotten a few more larger sized tubers. Oh well, I'll remember that next time and plan to remedy it.<br />

That's it until next time. Now on to decide what we will be starting from seed and planning on where everything will go in the beds for the Fall season. <br />

<br />
First we have the lettuce I was growing inside under a grow light. It did very well and we made several salads from it. I turned the light on for about 10 hours every day and kept it dark the rest of the time. The lettuce did not bolt and was very tender with no bitterness. Now i know how to grow lettuce in the summer here and get something edible. <br />

Since my Colorado Rose potatoes did so poorly I decided to try again with some red potatoes that began sprouting from the grocery store. I cut the sprouting eyes off of them before cooking,<br />

<br />
Then dug some holes about 10 inches deep in one of the beds. I then placed one eye in each hole and covered with about an inch or soil of soil. The last time I tries this in large pots it worked out real well.<br />

The sweet potatoes are growing real well. They should be ready around the end of July. Last year grubs destroyed most of my sweet potatoes. This year I sprayed parasitic nematodes in all the beds to hopefully eradicate them. Now when digging in the beds I have run across very few grubs which is encouraging. This is the first time using the nematodes ans so far they seem to be working well.<br />

Lastly here is one of the Moon And Stars watermelons. This one weighed over 40lbs and was pretty good. It was not as sweet as the Crimson Sweet melons I have grown in the past but good none the less.<br />

The heat and humidity takes it's toll on the plants and soon there will only be a few Summer time items growing. Though I try to keep a good eye on the plants a few beasties sneak by every now and then.<br />
<br />
Here is what I found munching on an eggplant. A tomato hornworm. Usually you won't even notice them when they are small but one day you will suddenly notice a whole branch of a plant pretty much stripped of leaves. Most of the time this is the culprit. <br />

Next a small portion of the tomato harvest. Most of these are Celebrity which is a determinate tomato. They produce a large flush of tomatoes and then they are done. <br />

My Tribute Strawberry plants are still putting out berries to my surprise. I find between one half to a full pint or so each day of berries that haven't rotted or been eaten. Also they are beginning to send out runners which I am going to replant in flats to root them. Then they will be planted in strawberry towers. This will keep them off the ground and hopefully I will get to eat many more of them. As of now over half get bug eaten and begin to rot simply because they lay on the ground.<br />

The towers I ordered. Each pot holds six plants. I have 24 pots and will stack them 4 high. That should give me 144 plants which is more than I have now. In a much smaller space foot print even. <br />

Just a quick update today. We are finally getting a little rain which hopefully will help out the drought situation.<br />
<br />
My cucumbers are all doing real well this season so far. What a contrast to last year when they just wouldn't fruit. All I was getting was male flowers. While out checking on the cukes the last couple of days I found the pickle worms had discovered two of my plants and began laying eggs on them. One day when I went out to look for the worms I found a little helper had nabbed one of them.<br />
The focus on the little guy isn't too good but a wasp is seen here with his victim. Nice!! <br />

These cucumbers are called "Mici Hybrid" This is the description from Ferry-Morse seed company:<br />
<br />
"A very hardy, hybrid variety. Resistant to cold weather. The fruit has a
long, straight shape about 14 inches long and has green rind. Average
weight per fruit is 7 ounces."<br />
<br />
They sure seem to be larger than any I have grown before.<br />

My other bed with cukes and butternut squash in it is really taking off. Lots of blooms can be seen on the cuke plants with a lot of female flowers too which means cucumbers.<br />

Now on to working more on the drip irrigation system. It's a bit slow going but it works real well.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889936294923582739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524236174267139645.post-72770678307674993692012-04-14T15:23:00.000-04:002012-04-14T15:23:52.872-04:00eliminating watering woesIt's April 14 and another update is upon us. After enlarging the garden last year the time it takes to hand water has increased to where it gets down right aggravating. Especially after working all day. I decided to do something about it and am in the process of installing a drip irrigation system to all the beds. This will eliminate uneven watering and help to keep from getting the leaves wet which will discourage disease. Since the weather has been really hot and dry this year so far hand watering has been less effective. You can water a bed and then dig down a ways and find dry to the bone soil. This is mainly because you put down way less water than you think unless you stand there for a while to make sure everything is soaked.<br />
<br />
Let's get to pics of the project and garden. First a shot of the not so sweet sweet onions from Lowe's. <br />

Now on to the drip project. Here are some of the parts. A 20 psi pressure regulator in the center and a swivel hose bib on the left used to connect the 1/2 inch drip tubing to the main water line. The bottom shows the end of the pvc water line. The regulator attaches to it.. The 1/2 inch connector connects to the tubing by sliding the tubing over the end of it and then screwing the connector tight over the tube end. This way you can takie it apart by just unscrewing it. There are also compression fittings which are a little cheaper but once attached they cannot be taken apart.<br />
<br />

The above assembly attaches to a 1" ball valve at each bed which allows for turning the water off or on for each individual bed.<br />

Here I used a Claber 8410 dual outlet battery operated water timer. I figured 2 zones would be fine to start with. If I need more zone capabilities then I can just add another timer.<br />

This shows a flushable water filter with a 155 mesh screen filter element. The drip line recommends 150 mesh or greater so this should work fine.<br />

<br />
Here is how the assembly leads up to each bed. From here the 1/2 inch tubing is attached and then the 1/4 drip line is attached to it and run the length of the bed.<br />
<br />

Here is one finished bed being tested. The drip line is rated at 1/2 gallon per hour for each emitter. The emitters are spaced every 6 inches.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj66KHlZtSHUnaJGzfk68pKxIdbqHZxvUbYGUbqKYTOYHpsSt5vyt_KJtHU1_xFU2dZouWE5tANeNVdzZTTWDvGq8CmUsGzxIFlbumk1-0PTv9c2CoQ8ZI_PB2YL8y8FSXLFF9XiYe1TfgI/s1600/P1012246.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj66KHlZtSHUnaJGzfk68pKxIdbqHZxvUbYGUbqKYTOYHpsSt5vyt_KJtHU1_xFU2dZouWE5tANeNVdzZTTWDvGq8CmUsGzxIFlbumk1-0PTv9c2CoQ8ZI_PB2YL8y8FSXLFF9XiYe1TfgI/s400/P1012246.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This is how the tubing is attached to each hose end assembly. A 1/2 inch perma-loc T connector connects all the 1/2 inch tubing which is then capped off at each end with a perma-loc hose cap. Then the 1/4 inch drip line is connected to the 1/2 inch by using a tubing hole punch. A 1/4 inch barbed connector is inserted into the end of the 1/4 inch tubing and then into the hole that was pouched into the 1/2 inch tubing. Each run of drip line is capped at the end with a 1/4 inch barbed goof plug.<br />

A pic of the Celebrity tomatoes after being pruned. I removed all the dying leaves and any that were laying on the mulch getting wet when I watered. I pretty much have the Late Blight controlled. i have been spraying with Serenade and as soon as I see Blight popping up on a leaf I trim it. This along with the hot dry weather has pretty much eliminated it.<br />

A picture of a Harlequin bug on a broccoli plant leaf. These little beasties multiply like crazy and damage the plants, especially of the brassica family, by sucking the sap from the leaves. They started out in the mustards, which is one of their favorite veggies to munch on, and began multiplying. I left them alone because I wasn't going to pick the mustards, just let them flower. Big mistake. When I pulled the mustards up they jumped to my broccoli which was next to the mustards. Even though I would kill 30 or more a day they still multiplied. I won't make that mistake again.<br />

The eggplant producing machine in all it's glory. It just doesn't slow down popping out fruit faster than I can eat them. They are so tasty, too.<br />

That's all for now.

My Peach tree dropped all it's blossoms which means no peaches for me. There were a couple on the tree but they just shriveled up and fell off. I think it is because of the lack of cold this year. Other warmer season veggies that usually grow slower this time of year are moving along real well. Let's get to some pictures of what is going on in the garden.<br />
<br />
First here is a little of what I have been harvesting. This year the eggplant have been fantastic and along with cooking them I have given several away. <br />
<br />

The onions are doing very well. I thought they were supposed to be sweet onions but when I tried one it was pretty hot. They definitely are not sweet like Florida Sweet Onions.<br />

Here is one almost complete disaster. I only have four potato plants from all those Colorado Rose seed potaoes. I dug around in several spots and found they rotted. The temps at night only got down into the sixties and the days were typically mid to upper eighties and I followed the directions that came with them. Even the smaller ones I planted whole in the pots rotted except for one. Disaster no doubt.<br />

Here is a single Everglades tomato that germinated under the solar panels. It is just a volunteer from last year. It has never been watered and gets stepped on all the time but takes abuse and comes back stronger every day. The fruits are really tasty with strong tomato flavor.<br />

The broccoli doing fairly well even though it has been attacked by Harlequin bugs. They started out on the mustards and once those were pulled made their way onto the broccoli. You can see the damage on all the leaves. It doesn't seem to have hurt the heads too much though. Makes me wish I had some chickens to munch on them.<br />

My pac choi and lettuce bed is about all matured. The Harlequin bugs really attacked the pac choi just like the broccoli. I am planning on planting beans there next.<br />

Here the Beef Master tomato doesn't want to quit. I thought it was ready to be pulled but it just keeps ending out new runners and setting more fruit.<br />

My favorite way to eat eggplant. Slice them then dip in egg and milk batter and coat with an Italian bread crumb mix. The mix is made with the Italian bread crumbs and add a little sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and granulated garlic all to taste. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and coat well with extra virgin olive oil. Lay the slices in on the coated foil and then with a brush dab each slice with more oil.<br />
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Then flip them over and back into the oven. Depending on how thick the slices cook another 12 to 15 minutes. I find 1/4 inch or thinner are done after 12 minutes or 1/3 inch or so need about 15 minutes to be done and slightly crispy.<br />
Then top off with spaghetti sauce on your plate and enjoy!!<br />

Late Blight it appears suddenly showed up. Since I found this I have been trimming out the infected leaves each day and spraying with Serenade and then copper. I normally don't use the copper fungicide but Late Blight is highly contagious and spreads extremely fast so I am not taking any chances.<br />

Here is a project I am working on. Since growing lettuce here in the summer doesn't work outside as it is way too hot I figured I would try a small grow light in the house and see if I get success from the cooler temps inside. I also read that bitter lettuce may also be caused by longer days as the lettuce sees this as time to begin going to seed. My strategy is going to be to keep it dark and only give it 8hrs of light per day. I will put it on a timer in a spare bedroom<br />

That's all for now. My big project to start working on next is to set up a drip system through out the garden outside. Hand watering is just taking up too much time since I enlarged the garden last year. Also a drip system will lessen the chances of getting diseases on the leaves since the water never splashes on the leaves.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889936294923582739noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524236174267139645.post-2183726049949535482012-03-11T12:28:00.000-04:002012-03-11T12:28:59.875-04:00The wonders of March. 03-11-2012Spring is just around the corner even though Summer seems to have arrived a couple weeks ago. Things are starting to grow a little quicker with the longer days and the birds are beginning to build nests in my trees. Let's head on out to the garden and see how things are growing right now.<br />
<br />
First a couple of the veggies we have been enjoying lately. Some Beef Master tomatoes, Big Bertha bell peppers and Black Beauty eggplant .<br />

I decided to buy some seed potatoes and see if I could grow them. They came in and the instructions said to cut the large one into a size about the same as a large ice cube with a few eyes on each piece. Then let them sit over night to scab over where it was cut but don't let them shrivel up. These are Colorado Rose red potatoes.<br />

I placed them about 6-8 inches apart and then worked them down to about 1-2 inches below the soil. As they grow up I will then fill in the furrows around the plants eventually hilling up around each row. The little seed potatoes that didn't need cutting got planted in large pots like the ones I grew last year.<br />

Here the Tribute strawberries are really pumping out the berries. The problem is a lot of them touch the ground and then bugs chew on them or they begin to rot before totally ripening. I think when they begin to put out runners I will start several new plants like last year from the runners and dig up the bed discarding the older crowns. Then I want to build some strawberry towers which will keep the berries off the ground by letting them hang freely in the air. I think that will solve a lot of my problem with them.<br />

Here are different flower seedling I started from seed. Most of these will get planted in the front yard and on the side of the house where Carambola, Avocado, and Papayas are growing. The flowers are mainly different varieties of Calendula, Sunflower, and Marigolds.<br />

My second attempt this year with cucumbers from seed. The first ones all died that were direct seeded here. It was pretty cool out when they germinated and they looked like they got damping off disease. These were started in pots and transplanted. Two of them died from what appeared to be damping off also but now they look like they are going to make it. We shall see.<br />
<br />
Behind the cucumbers are another planting of Nutri Red carrots.<br />

A few peaches are beginning to form on my Florida King peach tree. This one is the largest so far. It is right in the middle of the picture. The tree did not put out near as many flowers as last year. I am thinking it is probably because our winter was practically nonexistent. <br />

Let's jump in and see what we have.<br />
<br />
The sweet onions are growing a lot faster now that they are getting more sun. This area gets a lot of shade from the avocado tree in the winter time. <br />
<br />

Here are the Fordhook Lima beans. They didn't germinate very well. I think that even though it has been warm for this time of the year, the cool nights keep the soil a little too cool for these. They supposedly like a lot of warmth to grow well. This is my first time trying them.<br />
<br />

Here is the next crop of Pack Man broccoli and cucumbers germinating from seed. The cucumbers I planted a few weeks ago germinated then died as I posted in a previous post. Hopefully these will do better. The broccoli will be planted as I harvest the lettuce.<br />

The Pak Choi is growing much better now that it has been thinned and spread out along with the red and green butter head lettuce. I am looking forward to trying the purple Pak Choi since it looks so different.<br />

More Black Beauty eggplant fruiting. I was worried a little when I first planted them because there was still a good chance of frost and cold doing damage to them but I lucked out and it looks like we will be frying eggplant early this year.<br />

Another shot of the pepper / eggplant bed. The one hot pepper to the right is just full of blooms.<br />
