Got my plants last night and they'll be going in the ground tonight after work. I had to buy my green beans in seeds since they were out of plants. I read on the back of the packet but it doesn't say how many seeds need to go in each hole, anyone have a suggestion on that one??? If it matters, they are the bush type, not the pole type.























Figured I'd leave the pole type to LSS...

When I have tried to grow beans, I plant them like I do peas, just drop one every six to eight inches. I have had some success with beans, but usually the weather or pests get to them before I can harvest them.

Try Roma II bush beans. They are great, and easy to grow.

My first attempt at gardening! 2 tamatoes in each box, 2 jalape�o, 2 sweet banana peppers, 2 zucchini, squash, green beans and green onions.

Looks good. You're going to want cages, or some sort of support, for the pepper plants...

Looks good!

Here's mine for this year,



Beefsteak, Super Sweet Cherry, Red Cherry, Climbing Trip L, Celebrity, Pink Brandywine, Big Red, German Johnson and Homestead tomatoes.

Cayenne, Jalapeno, Serrano and Banana peppers

Red, Yellow and Green bell peppers.

Yellow crookneck squash and Danvers 126 carrots.

I have a few small plots around the place. I have cucumbers, more squash, too many pole beans (98), sweet corn, sunflowers, dill, brussel sprouts, okra and a artichoke plant.

I put four yards of mushroom compost in the garden, I needed to build it up a little.





I did everything from seed except the artichoke plant, it was a gift, and Banana peppers.

Looking good...I guess I'm not as late getting mine in as I thought. I had to drive to two different towns just to get 24 plants...I still have a few hundred more to get.

LSS I put the plants in on the 15th, I'm farther south then you if I remember right.

What plants did you get?

So far, I've picked up some Early Girls and Beefsteak tomatoes, and Cubanelle, Pimento, and Sweet Banana peppers. I also spent around $55.00 for flowerbed plants.

I have ten beefsteak plants. I have a total of 28 tomato plants. Went a little overboard this year.

I only put in 24 tomato plants this year. They are already setting a few tomatoes. My potatoes are up, and my onions are bulbing. I've bought my last onions for the year. All my seeds are not yet up. I gave up about a third of my garden to my neighbor.

Looks like I might have to start over with my tomatoes. I only planted them 2 weeks ago but the dang aphids look like they must have came home with us. Started noticing the lower leaves were turning yellowish about 1 week ago, turned the leaf over and noticed the tell-tale black dots. I tires using the organic method, Dawn dishwashing liquid in a bottle of water (soap mixture) which is what my step-Dad always used. Didn't seem to help to I switched over to Sevin Dust 2 days laters. That stayed on a couple of days till all the rain. Plants still look bad and I can't say that the Sevin Dust is working. Might have to racthet it up one more time to Kelthane (sp) to see if I can save them. Other than that, the bell peppers, jalapenos look great! I have 34 cucumber plants already popping up and after 6 days, noticed over 20 plants each of peas, greens and okra. Might be more popping up in the next few days now that the sun is back out. Looking forward to a summer of yummy vegetables!

I generally put a hand full of crushed limestone under my tomatoes before I put them in the ground, to prevent blossom end rot. I completely forgot to do it this year. A neighbor told me to put epsom salts around each plant and water it in. I got some today. I'll start with it tomrrow. I'll keep you informed about the results.

I hope to plant tomorrow....
