Default $2.00 Garden ($0.20 seeds) update...

Going back to the original thread, I planted peppers, tomatoes and radishes up to this point. There is one raised bed dedicated specifically to this $2.00 garden (2'x8'):




For all who's growing something from those $0.20 seeds, please chime in how well are we doing!

There are 7 peppers (Jalapeno, Hungarian Wax and Calwonder), 2 tomato plants (Beefsteak and Delicious) so far, planting seeds for basil and cilantro tomorrow...

All has been transplanted last Sat... Hungarian Wax already set it's first fruit:





Delicious:





Beefsteak:





Same seed packets, radishes are doing very well in 2x3 spaces. Soon to be all picked, and ready for "later planting" of more tomatoes





French breakfast, Cherrybell and Champion





Spinach (just picked all of it this eve, making room for planting Dill):





Some of their baby greens (been picking on those for a week or so, adding to the salads) :




That's it from me for now, look forward to hear how well your $0.20 plants are doing!

Regards,
D

That photo of the radishes as absolutely stunning. You should sell that one to a gardening magazine or something. Absolutely beautiful.

Those wax peppers i grew last year and another .20 hot pepper seeds. They were green, then yellow, i waited for them to get red. They did not get red, so i eat they yellow, nice, not to hot peppers. And I let them go after summer to see if any would turn red or dry out, i want to have inside for the winter. They did not go red, and were to big to dry, maybe 5 inch's. Plants were 24 inch high, a lot of peppers on the plants.

Very cool! I've got a lot of the same stuff growing that you do but it's way too early in the season here to report any progress.
Hungarian Wax Peppers don't ripen to red, yellow is their ripe color.
I'm growing some wax peppers this year too, but I think I paid 33 cents for the packet of seeds.

I grew the hot hungarian wax peppers last year and they did eventually go red. Though they didn't go red until after they were picked.

I've always liked the Hungarian Wax peppers too. They are great for those who cannot handle the hot stuff. And they taste great when you pick and eat them right in the garden.

Thank you all for looking at my $2.00 garden

I tell you, it's been fun indeed! Looks like I will have flowers (tons of marigolds), lettuce and radishes all season long for under $5.00 at this rate. Promised myself to eat healthier, and sticking to it so far!

Never seen Hungarian wax turn color other than yellowish/waxy before, I guess never waited long enough, huh?

Regards,
D
