Taking it Outside

Happy Fourth!












Cheers,
Mo

Garden is looking clean Mo!

Yesterday's rose blooms

Gladioluses bloomed this week. These might be my new favorite!!

Our Rose of Sharon trees also bloomed this week.

Yellow pear tomatoes are ripening. We've had a couple already & they are so sweet & juicy. Very delicious!

Figs are getting big too

I'm growing the Yellow Pear for the first time this year. A tasty little tomato, and a huge producer. Get ready to do some picking.

Your roses are looking nice.

I love figs - I wish my tree was that big!

The two fig trees at the old house are like that one. Need to get the ladder before you think about picking.

My little old Filipino friend gave me a fig tree this week. Another older lady friend gave me two lowquat and two kumquat trees today.

I love kumquats!!! I'm really stoked for the figs too. I've never had a fresh fig.

I'm not sure I would recommend this strategy......but this year we did a "build as we grow" approach.

Today:

Hey @jaybllr333 , have you guys ever tried Armenian cucumbers? It might be too late for you to plant them this year, but once you've had them, a regular cucumber will never be the same.



The bees were working mine this morning. In the quiet of the morning, bees buzzing was all I could hear.

My back would love that trellis. I have way too much stuff growing at ground level.

We ran some Munchers early, but they are all gone now. Young ones coming along through. That is a good cucumber too. Also have some Straight 8's the same age going. Never grown them before.

I think I'm gonna get to taste them this week....I'll let you know how they turn out. That trellis is a re-purposed kids soccer goal.....perfect fit!

Have you thought about raising bees?

Absolutely....I think we're probably a year maybe two away from trying to do it right. Not sure how much "raising" I would have to do, there are bees everywhere out here.

Was thinking about you when I snapped these pics MO.... I hope to pass a few of these beans out at the Harvest BBQ.

OLH #2 seeds (best smoke we've grown out in Cali so far)

Bush Champion Cucumbers!!!
