Summer Garden: July 2019
Cucumber plants using the hoop house as a trellis. If you recall, I had to replant most of the row. It won’t be a bumper crop, but it will be enough. |
Cucumbers ready to eat. |
Sweet potatoes. As you can see, I’m still mulching aisles. |
Winter squash. These are North Georgia Candy Roaster |
Young growing candy roaster squash. |
In the hoop house.
A small bed of Tennessee red peanuts for a seed crop. They aren’t really neon green! That’s how my camera picked them up in full sun. |
Peanut flowers. Leaf color is more true in this shot. |
My survivor strawberries |
Rooting strawberry runners for another bed. |
Upland rice beds with volunteer cushaw. |

I had two gardening fails this summer. One is my corn.
Of four rows planted, I only got five corn plants. |
This is the same bed I replanted because of poor germination the first planting. The second planting didn’t do well either, so I tried to sprout the seed. I got nothing. All the seed came from the same ear, so at least one ear had very few viable seeds. I planned to use the corn for pole beans, but they never got planted because the corn didn’t grow.
The other fail was okra. I had zero germination even with two plantings. Disappointing, because we love our oven fried okra.
But back to successes.
Peppers are coming along. Not sure which variety. |
Tomatoes are doing well. |
Black turtle beans with flowers and bean pods |
Cowpeas are flowering too. |
Plus, I’m still harvesting last fall’s sugar beets for the goats.They eat both roots and greens (chopped). |
So, there’s my garden so far this year. Anybody else?
