Garden Update - Day 60

in HiveGarden5 months ago

Hello Everyone,

The garden is looking really good on this breezy cool partially sunny day in upstate New York.

Let's have a look at how everything is doing.

The tomato plants are doing pretty great.

I have a few different varieties. One is beefsteak, one is Cherokee, and I forget what the third is but hopefully I'll remember again soon.

The plant with the deformed looking tomato is the beefsteak I think, and the small plant that is tied up with yellow rope is the Cherokee. I have high hopes that we'll get a few Cherokee tomatoes because I've heard they are super delicious.

This bean plant is a Garden King variety and is grown from seed like the Cherokee tomato plant. Everything else was bought in a nursery and I think they were all clones because they exhibited full maturity in their features for such small plants to begin with, and they grew like wildfire.

The squash is the dominant plant in this garden, no question about it. I'm rather impressed with these plants and they've already produced fruits that have been consumed and are starting to rapidly produce lots of flowering sites. There might end up being tons of squash in this garden.

I can't remember for sure how many eggplants we started with but there's two healthy plants growing these pretty purple flowers. The eggplants made a valiant effort in shooting up high so that they did not get overgrown by the squash. I'm impressed by their growth as well.

There's green and red bell pepper plants alongside the back fence in the garden. There's a lot of weeds back there and if those things are to have a chance I will need to get in there for some serious weeding soon. My optimism is not very high for the pepper plants currently, but that's ok.

The cucumbers have started taking off like weeds and growing along the floor of the garden and up the fence. We can see yellow flower sites where cucumbers should start growing soon.

I think the cucumbers might end up surprising us and doing pretty good.

Let's look inside the tent just because..

This Crack Mack is shaping up to be a star.

And can we take a moment to appreciate these aloe plants? :D

Do we sense a little mother/daughter competition going on here?

Daughter is on the right showing off her busty new curves, while mother has her back to her in a somewhat proud yet dismissive gesture.

Yes she is very proud to have produced a daughter that rivals her size, but mother is still the queen in this tent.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a good day! -@futuremind


Sort:  

Has anyone told you? that you have green fingers!

Thank you my friend <3

I can now see the tomatoes
I can’t wait for them to be very red
Keep it up!

Thank you @rafzat. Hopefully they will start turning red soon!

Everything looks really beautiful and promising, I send you the best vibes and I hope in a while you can share the delicious salad that you will make with those tomatoes.

This is looking good. The squash and tomatoes are coming along great. How long before you can harvest the squash?

Thank you @litguru. Some squash has already been harvested, so it's like a continual pick them as they grow thing, and removing some seems to promote new flowering sites.

We will all be anxiously waiting to see those big red tomatoes, we have a lot of faith in you and those incredible plants that are growing fast.
I have not been bothered again by the people you live with? good week my friend.

Thank you my friend.

There will certainly be some big red tomatoes. The goal will be to get pictures before neighbors eat them :D Things have been cordial, they just eat stuff as quick as they can so it's hard to get pictures lol.

Saludos @futuremind, geniales fotografías, detalles naturales muy vivos. Éxitos.

Thank you! 🙏
