Worth's 2017 Accidental Garden.

[greenthumbomaha]

I didn't realize your garden was "that" shady, Worth. I suggest you grow broccoli (though I don't remember seeing it in your menus.
I had a few empty 5 gal buckets in the shade so I plunked my excess transplants in, forgot I had done that, and had great broccoli towards the fall. Maybe now is the time for you to plant for fall, or at least start some seeds. Fall vegie transplants have become almost impossible to find here. All you see are sickly ones that were in the 4 pack all summer.

Have you tried fall cabbage?

how about fertilizing corn, beans, and okra ?

You have a rustic garden.I like that lantern too.

I like the rustic look too. It took me forever to find the lantern you mentioned. It's like the Worth Garden version of finding Waldo.

There is a big tree limb i need tp cut out that is over power line.
I have been begging the city to go it but thy wont.
That is where the shade is coming from.
It gets sun in the morning and afternoon.
I like broccoli but never buy it.

I dont get the rustic look.
To me that is a bunch of old unpainted boards.

Just about to reinstall the drip system in the okra.
This morning I watered before I went to work and yest. erday I watered three times.
This evening I will water again.
I have held back on watering to keep the snails and slugs down.
I also have another one of those big tubs and will plant something in it and set it in line with the others.

Okra flowers are so pretty! Still jealous.

[AlittleSalt]

lol, mine are starting to put on leaves. A long time before flowers here.

Come to find out I had two 40 gallon tubs.
One I won't use as I need it to mix concrete in.
The one I did use is ready for planting something in.
Right now I don't have any idea.
Maybe watermelon and more cucumbers.
With okra growing in the middle.
Mortgage Lifter progress.

Decided to go with Georgia rattlesnake watermelon, national pickling cucumber and more dill.

Raking all of the leaves, letting the soil dry out at night in the beds, not watering anything around the beds and the Bug-Geta has really put a damper on Snailtropolis and neighboring Slugville.
Without doing this I wouldn't have anything in the garden beds.
As a matter of fact I have the whole sprinkler system shut off.

I am growing Sugar Baby watermelons. I call them personal WM.
I am also growing Honeydew melons. Sweet melons are my favorite.
The corn is growing tassel.
My okras (some of them ) have some kind of disease or maybe wind damage to big leave.

No worries on the okra I had some like the too they will grow out of it.
I came home to the Boston pickling sprouting and a colorful stink bug maybe in the yard.
The four transplants of okra are doing fine.
People would gasp out how I did it.

My phone does too people will just have to figure out what I am saying sometimes.
Tired of editing.
I have never seen a bug like that in my life and I didn't kill it.
Looks like an art deco bug.
