Troll-Land is a pleasant place where trolls gather to laugh at YOU! You and your hilarious-insane beliefs are the show!
 
1. SUGAR BABY WATERMELON
2. CANTALOUPE
3. CRIMSON SWEET WATERMELON
4. CUCUMBER

This summer is especially hot and challenging, but the garden ekes out a few victories against the heat & bugs.

I like your garden.:)
I really enjoyed the garden thread, too, but it keeps rolling off.

My peppers did great by the way, Ive made two batches of salsa and a third picking is coming soon, that one plant did amazing, Im convinced the container size is proportional to yield.

Tomatoes in a 3 gallon bucket, not any fruit at all lot's of blooms, none dropped, plant growth, was good. Next year 5 gallon buckets.

Things grow well in Troll Land.

Hey Austin....I live my garden vicariously through others.

3 gallons is almost too small; 5 gallons is crowded unless the tomato is small. 5 gallons is excellent for eggplants and cucumbers and carrots and scallions.
 
The Fall crop is: CHINESE CABBAGE, OKRA, GREEN BEANS, COLLARDS, BROCCOLI, CANTALOUPE, TOMATOES, AND POTATOES. I'M GONNA PLAY WITH 3-4 HILLS OF SPUDS, TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BTW! I just discovered that the wood frame of a boxspring makes a dandy trellis for cucumbers/beans. I'll post pix when its painted and installed in the garden.

Did you get tomatos this year? I miss fresh picked ones and making a sandwich with them.
 
Keep up the good gardening, Jim; no store-bought produce ever tasted like what comes from your own garden!

I got 100s of tomatoes in the Spring. This Summer I'm growing plum tomatoes, and theyre just beginning to ripen.

What surprised me is how sweet melons are, and how much better veggies look right off the vine.

For sure...The store-bought are raised for the needs of transportation; the home grown varieties are there for admiring and tasting. I grew a few buckets of heritage varieties of tomatoes last year an incredible range of flavours!
(On the road too much this summer to take proper care of them, so I didn't start any).
