=D

thanks for viewing everyone

arugula, first time to know it

how do you cook it?

 

[franzb69]

i use it two ways, in salad or garnish it on pizza.

i guess you could make a sauce out of it.

it's also great as pesto in replacement for basil. =D

 

[captain bhutter]

wow! thanks for the info

my tomato plants in grow bags and other stuff.....

finally moved some more tomatoes into larger grow bags..... will move 'em into larger ones eventually.

these are the generic beefsteak stuff i got that are 3 years old.

i know a few of these plants grow really close together but i'm too afraid of separating and might kill them.

 

[Nova]

Hey is there any chance of ripping some stuff out of the ground to plant more "useful stuff"?

I see heaps of stuff in the background that you cant eat.. Jus sayin'

 

[franzb69]

that's my mom's garden. can't touch those.

We have a yard about as large as our house. I've been planting there. I'll stick the rest in the ground when they're large enough. =D

 

[Nova]

The toms are big enough now! Stick-em in!

 

[franzb69]

i'll probably do that over the weekend.

just worried that the toms might get killed, destroyed, blown away by the super typhoons that pass through my country. =(

 

[franzb69]

buds on my tomato plants! Yay!

should I really be putting these in the ground? the yard we have has a notorious repuation of killing anything we plant there that we expect to grow well. =(

 

[franzb69]

moved the plants that are large enough to a slightly shadier spot.

 

[franzb69]

a little update on my edamame plants:

 

[franzb69]

my first tomato! yay! lol

more flowers from another tomato, looks like one is wilting. but oh well. darn rains messing with my tomatoes.

here's a better shot of the baby tomato forming:

 

[franzb69]

My beaten up carrots. Got beaten up by the rain last night. Didn’t get to move the plants since I was already asleep when it started raining.

My wall of green:

Some tomato flowers:

Been stimulating pollination by flicking it ever so slightly.

 

[franzb69]

My first tomato getting larger:

Been guarding the tomato flowers real well from humidity and heat.

My largest domino eggplant, seeds from siling_labuyo:

Along with some sage, rosemary, a marigold, and my edamame generation 2


Asparagus in containers with generation 2 edamame (korean strain):

Different shot of the tomato taken a few days back:

Apologies for the crappy pictures, my JVC video camera sucks for taking still pix. It’s a 9 year old camera.

My beaten up mint, pests have been plaguing this:

Garlic chives, japanese bunching onions, and a shallot on the left:

Sesame plant flowers, alfalfa plants a bit to the right (grown from sprouts bought at the grocery, used as a cover crop hoping for seeds eventually):
