Thanks for sharing!
Have fall onion starts growing now!
Are these winter onions, where you use the greens in the winter, or are they onions that you plant in the fall, like garlic, and harvest in the summer? I've heard of the former, but I'm not familiar with the latter.
Peppers - seem small. I will resist adding additional plants. A few hot peppers visible and growing. Sweet peppers seem to be struggling. Yellowish. Never look happy. There are a couple of tiny fruits just now settling. Not sure they’ll be successful.
Do you grow your bell peppers in a garden bed or in pots? At least in my garden, bell peppers always have a hard time growing outdoors; they do better in a greenhouse. I’ve since switched to growing them outdoors only in large tubs or flower pots because the soil warms up faster there and they start growing sooner (though not much usually happens before mid-June anyway). It’s also a bit easier to control moisture and nutrient levels because I refertilize and remix the soil in the containers every year.
Lettuce. Spring plants still going strong just started more.
At this time of year, I'm usually so sick of green salad. xD
Basil always bolts for me. Ive been pinching it back weekly and using fresh or drying it. I’m getting some nice dense little shrubs!
Yeah, Basil bolting is also a usual problem I guess. In the last years I have definitely harvest more flower stands than leaves ^^' Grinding Basil into pesto and freezing is also a good preservation method (and combined with some pasta a cheap and fast low-effort dish).
Tomatoes are going wild. I need to prune them back again.
I usually lose track of things at this time of year, too, and constantly wonder, “Where on earth did this new shoot come from?” Unfortunately, pruning is absolutely necessary because the plants are outdoors, and otherwise they’ll immediately fall victim to brown rot as soon as the first cooler, rainy spells set in.
However: Have a splendid week and a good gardening season!
