Quote from: ChrissyRyan on May 10, 2025, 09:03:51 AMHas anyone tried to grown squash, including zucchinis, UPWARDS to save space?



I have, and some work while others don't. It depends on how flexible the vines are and how heavy the fruits are. Delicatas climb pretty well (with guidance) even though their fruits are pretty heavy. I've never been able to get the summer squashes to climb.

YES! They were lemon cukes (small fruits), but I've seen it done with larger ones, too.

I never heard of growing jars.  I will need to look that up.

Are pablano peppers very hot? 

I decided to plant one.  I know green peppers and mild banana peppers are not hot.


I saw something called orange lunchbox peppers for sale.  Are those tasty?

I think the jalapeño and thin chili peppers are hot.  Sometimes I use those to prepare chili.

At least, the thin ones are rather hot.

Sometimes I will eat two peppers from the same plant.  It is odd that one can be very hot and the other mild.

Has that ever happened to you?

Picked up tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, zukini, strawberry's and cantaloupe plants today. Have to wait a couple days as it cold and rainy now. Onions, peas and beans are up but potatoes not yet.
Still have to plant radishes and carrots and lettuce.
Beets didn't come. Old seed I'm guessing.

I like growing vegetables.  I know where they came from, they are organic, and they are fresh.

I planned on planting a garden. Just the basics: potatoes, beans and corn. Once upon a time I prepped, planted, weeded, and maintained a one-acre truck farm virtually by myself. This year, I'm hoping to put out a few starters and tend to berry bushes since my daughter and her partner are far too busy to help with a basic garden (and they are, it wasn't an excuse). Oscar Wilde was right: youth is wasted on the young. Few things should be more important than a garden.

Lettuce grew nicely.  Something ate some leaves.  Gnawed them off rather than holes in the leaves.   So I ate the rest.

I left the plant in the ground and it is producing more leaves.  I also protected it better, so I may get more Romaine lettuce to eat.

I wonder how many more leaves will sprout up.

I still plan to grow some carrots in the same general area as my tomatoes.

These will be from seeds.

Some naughty animal ate my sunflower seeds last year and I got no new sunflowers.
